Never said it was the distributers' fault but money talks and it sure as Hell is not the customers short of not buying from them. I do too much shopping online to know better. Ever try to find out-of-season products any other way anymore? It's still summer here for at least another month and I had to order a replacement for something that conked out because the stores no longer stock them until next Spring and shifting the same space into Fall and Winter products. I do know the realities but gaming for me is not one of them, thank you very much. I game to get away from reality for a little bit, not deal with more of it.
