| I just check my Amazon cart and got the following message
We're sorry. The item X is no longer available from the seller you selected. We've moved it to the Saved Items section of your Shopping Cart. page.
The seller in question is Amazon, I wasnt ordering it from one of their third party stores
It repeated this message for the following products
Arcane Corridors
Cityscape
Road of the Patriarch
Shadowbred
All 4 are upcoming WOTC products Tiles/Source books/Novels
and Im left wondering if this is a result of WOTC trying to give there bricks and Mortar FLGS a monopoly on their product line (Ie like what there trying to do with the minis line)

| I'm not really surprised. Just because you've picked something up doesn't mean the price won't change before you get to the register.
A little while ago someone mentioned Wardrums Starters for an incredible price around $8. I could find them on with the provided address but had a hard time getting them finding them with other methods. I added two to the shopping cart but needed to wait to see what else I needed to get to bring my order up to $25. The next day those Starters were removed from my cart and when I tried to add them back they were no longer available. In truth they were no longer available at that price.
Similiar things happened with the Colossal Red Dragon. If you added it to the cart very early you still would have seen the price increases. If you actually PLACED the order then you would have had the product at the selected price. I ordered my CRD after the first price increase; had I waited that monster would have cost another $9.

| Are these items released yet? I thought Arcane Corridors wasn't due until mid November and the City book around the same time. Maybe that's why?

This has happened to me several times.
I believe it is part of their inventory software and how they sometimes
update items that have not been released yet (Delete said item and then
reentering with updated information.)
