    It very likely that its not the stores' fault. I know we once again got
    0 BoP's on our order today. We have tried several distributors with no
    luck. Those of you who are getting BoP's, anyone know which
    distributors the stores are using?

    That's the truth. I've always wondered if the F.R. recieves a lot of
    product support because it is popular, or if the F.R. line is popular
    because it recieves a lot of support. Only the dweebs in marketing know for
    sure, I guess. Anyhow, someone asked where Crazy Egors was; It's in New
    York (I don't want to make this an advertisement, if that's against the
    rules. anyhow, the moderator can excise the phone number if he thinks
    that's for the best; the Pn & address is in just about every issue of the
    Dragon, in ads for lead figurines and whatnot). their Phone Number is :
    (716) 427-2190. their OOP stuff is (or was last time I called) somewhat
    disorganized, so it might take 'em awhile to find what you're looking for,
    if they have it (I think they picked up a bunch of Zocchi's old stuff when
    he called it quits...) Also, in general, if you *really really* need
    something, thouse ads in the Dragon with a big list of game/hobby shops are
    a great resource. I've called all over the country for stuff, and usually
    got it. Now I think their are online resources that people can use. I dk as
    much about this, but as long as we're exchanging info on how to locate hard
    to find items (and if it's ok with the moderator), what online sources do
    people go to to look for stuff?
