Wow, this really hurts. I'm a long time fan so to show support I
ordered my TLT right away through Amazon. JMS did the exclusive
interview with Amazon. I ordered through them. I had no idea that by
choosing Amazon that I would be penalized in this way.
I hope the comic stories will be available to us sometime in the
future.
I agree with a lot of people here: I won't be so quick to pre-order
again.
I will wait to the day of release.
