My shop had 35 but not 34. But they're looking into it for me. They also had Showcase, too.
Did you order the Barks cover variant for #34? It looks like that one is delayed by a week (if the online comic shops are accurate). Not sure why that would be, don't think that has happened before.
From the comments here and on facebook fangroup it sounds like both #34 and #35 got on sale this week - but comic shops only received one of the two. I would be interesting to know if someone heard of any comic shops receiving both this week. Maybe Diamond purposely only distributed one of the two randomly this week and will send the other one next week? (just speculating of course)
My shop received both #34 and #35, but not Cover B for #34. The owner of the shop sent me an e-mail with this explanation from Diamond Comic Distributors:
"Dear Diamond Customer:
Due to a printing error, IDW Publishing’s Uncle Scrooge #34 Cover B (NOV170433) — solicited to arrive in stores this week — will be delayed.
Corrected copies of Cover B are now expected to arrive in stores by May 30.
If you have additional questions regarding this advisory, please contact your Diamond Retailer Services Representative. Thank you."
My local store only had a small number of copies of #34 (And they usually order a decent number of copies of Disney books), only had the A cover and #35 was nowhere to be found.

Today is May 30th. Anyone seen the Cover B variant of Uncle Scrooge #34 on sale anywhere?
Also I'm wondering if copies with a printing error was distributed to any comic shops before it was noticed. I've tried looking at eBay now and then the last month, but I haven't seen anyone selling any copies of the B variant.
Doing an eBay search for Uncle Scrooge #34B there's a lot of listings in the price range $20-$30 and some with text about a low print run. I'm not sure if this is correct or if this is a result of some thinking it is as the release got delayed and everyone else following with high prices. But I haven't been able to get this issue at a normal price yet...
I'm trying to stay patient and positive, but trying to keep track of and collect American Disney comics is very frustrating at the moment.

WDCS #742 is on sale today. But it looks like they changed the content a bit. Based on the creators listed in the original solicitation and the pages available I was guessing we would get Trouble with Double as the backup story. Instead we get a wolf one-pager and a 2-page Dutch story.
