Amazon.com used to send items seperately if one item would hold up the rest, but I've noticed they don't do that any more unless you change the way you want things shipped (that is, you are willing to pay for the separate shipments if they don't qualify for their free shipping rates). I've been waiting for two months for an order because one item of the group hasn't been released yet, but I am soooo cheap that I'm intent on saving that shipping charge. I'm also waiting on "Poser 6 Revealed"...I'm looking forward to reviews.
