The rest of us chumps have to wait two months as they build hype for a book we were all going to buy anyway.

The red spine doesn’t look as terrible next to the older books as I thought it would, so that’s nice. Still prefer the alternate covers though.

I mean, it will take them a couple months to get the logistics worked out...?

I like it: kind of hope future supplements go back to the red flame with black background, to make the Core obvious.
Personally prefer the standard covers, but I can be Basic like that with fantasy art lol.

They can pay to expedite shipping for a single pallet or two, but they can't afford to do that for all of them, or we would be paying $100 for each copy. Plus, it takes time to print and assemble that many books -- this is probably one of the first ones off the press.

Yeah, I am unsure about some of the changes, but some of them look cool so it's worth the price to pick it up and take a look. I may cherry-pick some rules and features to hybridize into my game. Time will tell if the 2014/2024 ratio in my game is 80%/20%, 50%/50%, or something else.
I am mostly looking forward to the Monster Manual, so of course it's the last book of the core three to be released.
I feel like there has been a lot of player-side power creep (looking at you, Tasha's Crucible of Everything) without a commensurate increase on the monster side, but the 2025 MM might change that.Warpiglet-7

This is my hope but I think the DM just has to turn it up themselves n most cases even a middle levels.Yeah, I am unsure about some of the changes, but some of them look cool so it's worth the price to pick it up and take a look.
