Could be--My tastes are pretty eclectic, but if there's a VLW anymore
("if"), it's usually resolved within a couple weeks...
One of the advantages of localizing Regional centers (like, *WAY BACK IN
2001*) as opposed to One Big HQ is that if your area regional doesn't
stock it, someone else's does, and they might take an extra few days to
"import" it...
This way, no one center is understocked or forced to skimp on stocking
obscure titles, and all their eggs aren't in one basket.
