Well, I find the decision understandable, and mostly agree with it.
However, this doesn't explain how one Toronto store managed to get two
copies of the game if none of the Canadian distributors were supposed
to get the games. Either that, or some Canadian stores use US
distributors, thus messing up AOG's well thought out plans.

I wonder if the problem has killed any demand for B5W in Canada. I
suppose it might have if the B5 RPG's Earthforce sourcebook had been
released at something approaching on time. But since there's no sign
of THAT any time soon, we're stuck.
