Um, heh heh heh... I just got back from my gaming store, apparently, the guy
who was going to get it, yeah, he turned his nose up at the $50 price tag.
So, my name was next on the list and I got to yay/nay it. I went right ahead
and purchased it on the spot.

I'm now the proud owner of #462.

w00t!

I retract all my earlier vitriol and anger at getting passed over. However,
I will still provide assistance to anyone staging a run on a known source.
Assistance, in this case, would be as a character reference if you get
caught, or something similar along those lines.

Is this a BABY, then? What will the SR4 LEs be called?

I eagerly vote for anything but "BABY". It was stupid in 1998 and it's
stupid in 2005. :-)

Glad to hear you got the book you wanted!

How about "The Overly Dumbed Down Limited Edition Release"

Or... TODDLER?

I am pleased also. My preorders came on Tuesday. The only place I ordered two from came
through (and the only one that didn't fall through). #941 will go to my buddy for X-Mas.
But my pride will be the money number #500.

Chex.

How about calling them TFP's? As in, Too Few Produced?
Or, Black And Silver Tome, Availability Required Demon Sacrifice
(BASTARDS)?

Heh. That's kind of appropriate, considering the ground shipping cost on
that link that was sent for Studio 2 Publishing costs $6.66... 8-}

What does BABY mean, anyhoo? I never quite figured that out...
