WB Merchandise Update; Civic Duty to Vote (partially OT)

Hi --

I spoke to Warner Bros. just now about the sheet sets.  I don't own any
full-size or twin beds, but was interested in buying the pillow-cases
separately.  No such luck.  They aren't selling them like that, and
noone seems to know if they will develop queen & king sizes eventually.

I did talk to someone in customer service about the state of the website
(things that you could swear were on there suddenly disappear).  She
confirmed that if something sells out, they remove it entirely from the
website (rather than just saying, here's the item & it's sold out).  She
indicated that the Nimbus ornaments that are still listed in the print
catalogues *are* sold out.  I was complaining to her because I couldn't
find one on their website last night (& noone got me one for my
birthday).  So, I went to ebay and paid $20 to win one.  The catalogue
that I received in the mail today was listing them for $10, and I was
about ready to shoot myself.  But, customer service says that they are
definitely sold out and likely will not be getting anymore in.  She said
that demand is far exceeding supply on most of the HP merchandise out
there (are they feeding demand by keeping supplies low or did they just
badly misestimate??  Hmm).  So, if you're a collector and/or want to
make some money off the rest of us suckers, I'd strongly suggest that
you stockpile what you want or want to sell.

If none of you guys want my extra set of Fat Lady bookends, I may end up
listing them on ebay!  <g>

I think I may email the person that Nick posted about earlier today --
they really need to know about the adult market (i.e., queen & king size
sheets would be nice!).

VOTE: While I've got the bully pulpit momentarily, I will state my
opinion that every U.S. citizen eligible to vote should do so
tomorrow!!  If you live in one of the "battleground" states, your vote
WILL count!  Exercise it!   We don't see elections this close very often
-- it's of critical importance this year.
