Survival of the Fittest turned out to be the least fit its now OOP Regards mark687 Blimey...that didn't take long... Looking at number13 's list on the 51 - 100 thread it was almost eight months from the announcement before Scherzo was the first to go OOP. It's taken Survival of the Fittest all of two days. I wonder if A Thousand Tiny Wings and The Architects of History will be the next to go? Good, the table came in useful!
First line entered in the new one - yes, very fast. There are some famous stories and trilogies in this run and maybe there's been an attempt to hold lower stocks for some time (given some of the comments we've heard about CDs) so perhaps it's not surprising if they go more quickly?
EDIT: Some of them anyway. I imagine myself sitting here with a long white beard and covered in cobwebs, waiting for all eternity to enter 'The Dark Husband' as number 50 on the OOP list...
(Actually I thought it was a bit of fun, not bad at all )

It'll be a bit odd now we're talking this era of stories going OOP as we'll be getting orphaned stories on CD from incomplete trilogies. I mean there's the Klein trilogy scuppered now with Survival Of The Fittest going.

I mean there's the Klein trilogy scuppered now with Survival Of The Fittest going. If only the MR had always been released as boxsets we'd be alright wouldn't we...? [/devilsadvocate]
Personally I'm more than happy for the MR to stay just as it is, though I guess we know it won't do for much longer. But this would be one advantage of boxsets; all or nothing availability for a trilogy (if we got three in a set.)

And another one bites the dust - The Wreck of the Titan is now OOP. Thanks Brig., duly noted.
Underlines Davy's point doesn't it - just a few days and two trilogies with the middle knocked out of them. The other four stories probably won't last long though, two top trilogies.

EDIT: You are quite right Brigadier I was doing a table and for some reason it had slipped my mind... I will get back on it.

EDIT: Whaddaya mean snark? Those were right-on-the-button insightful comments of the highest order!
