Lizard says:If a clerk at you FLGS tells you that the sun will rise in
the East tomorrow, go to Vegas and put all your money on it rising in
the west.
I wanted to buy the universal game "SOL". I called my FLGS.
"We don't carry that."
"I know, but I was hoping you could special-order it for me."
"It's out of print."
"Odd. Their web site was updated just two weeks ago and says it is in
print, with a new supplement due out soon."
"None of our dsitributors carry it."
"Really? Their website says Berkely West carries it...since you're in
San Francisco, don't you use them as a distributor?"
"Uhm...whatever. I'll order it. Or something."
Suffice it to say, I ended up buying it at Gencon this year.
