A question in regards to "the distribution network" and how it affects on-line stock. I think Glenn answered it with this:

I know people (especially internationals) have been worried about how it will affect their chances at scoring stuff on-line, thinking that there would be less stock on S7's website if it's getting spread amongst several stores.
Am I reading Glenn's post correctly - that approximately the same number of a given figure will go up on the S7 website that would have gone up prior to the creation of "the network"? And that "the network" only affects in-store (as opposed to on-line) stock - basically spreading S7's in-store stock among the entire network?

That is how it is working. There should also be a little less online competition since people in are going to the distro shops to get the figures too.

That's great - I think this will clear up the fears that were initially raised.
Thanks, Glenn!
