Thanks Louis. I know it's more economical for them to ship all at once like that, but man, it kills my budget. Especially since I have to pick up the DC Showcase House of Secrets vol. 1 the same week. :) Some of this stuff will be going on hold for another week I think.

I think Gemstone is still trying to catch up from when they were on hiatus before.

AUGUST??? Hmmm. Maybe it is time for me to get a calendar. I knew I shouldn't have kept track of time by the Gemstone releases.

Um, the books come out this Wednesday. And the Gemstone reps (usually David) has always been upfront about any major, major delays. In fact, unless I'm just horribly wrong on this the books are shipping at around the same time they did in the previous month so it's not like you're not going to get them. Honestly, I think this is one of the first months without any delays at all. :P
While I agree that it was probably very premature of them to print a shipping schedule so soon after the previous delay, anything can and usually does happen - and as we all found out - it did. At least Gemstones major printing delay was excusable unlike a more major company like Marvel that really has no excuse whatsoever, and its not like they are doing it on purpose Morequack.
But, if you really feel that strongly about it, complaining here won't do anything. Write letters to the people in charge or something explaining your frustration but in all reality, you can't expect them to churn out the 64 page books with restored material en masse all at once and there not be any repercussions from the previous delay. The only company active in the US market that could feasably do that would probably be DC.
Not being belligerent or even play devil's advocate here. Just trying to look at it from a calm and sensible point of view. =\"

You're right WB complaining won't do much help. I have written a letter to Gemstone recently they told me that the latest issue of Uncle Scrooge will be in the mail sometime this month hopefully. I hope their hiatus won't last as long as the previous one.

And we've just received our office copies of US 378 and WDC&S 693, so that means they'll be coming out in the interim.
