On the topic of the book itself it really bums me out when they have limited releases like this, since it will inevitably mean i miss out on pieces of the story that i find so interesting it makes me just want to drop the whole series and not bother with it anymore. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319182.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319182.page GMT Re:Aurelian- Black Library Fail
Even though I missed my chance to get a copy of Promethian Sun from BL i was able to get a new one from eBay, can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much more than what BL were selling it for.

Not sure if I should try to buy from BL this time (once their servers come back) or just wait and try my luck on ebay]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319194.page GMT Aurelian- Black Library Fail

I ask: ok?

Black Library had it happen once unexpectedly. Come back when they reach the level of Hasbro: they have it happen EVERY SINGLE YEAR after San Diego Comic Con when their left over stock of exclusives go up for sale on their store and have yet to do anything about it, despite having it occur anually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319284.page GMT Aurelian- Black Library Fail
I'm sure you want the book, and that's fine and I'm not criticizing that: in fact I hope you get your book, but this really is a common occurrence. They just didn't know how popular it would be. That is all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319342.page GMT Aurelian- Black Library Fail

GenCon did that to itself every year. probably still does. I haven't bothered to even look at that terrible convention in the past almost 8 years.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396935/3319379.page GMT Re:Aurelian- Black Library Fail Guys, I would invite you to use the dedicated Black Library thread, where this is already being discussed.
