No more Cores at Academy

I had a problem with one of my Citicas and I took it to Academy to return it. I had recently bought a Core 50mg there within the last two months and figured since I was exchanging the reel anyway I would go ahead and put the credit towards another Core.
I went back to get one from the counter and they were out. I had them check for me and they only had 3 in the Houston area, which one was a display model in Webster.
Anyway they told me the reels are being discontinued, I guess that means that Academy isn't going to carry the top quality Shimanos anymore?
The manager was nice, he gave me 10% off since it's a discontinued display model.

They only carry the 100MGs over here in Beaumont & Port Arthur, they did carry the 50MGs at the Port Arthur one but every time I went in there to get one they were out or were getting a shipment in.
If they were really selling out of them I think they should carry them, Gander Mountain over here was supposed to order mine like 6 months ago. The guy said he ordered it and never heard from him so I said screw it and got one from somewhere else. I just love it when a company does that.

I'm not sure about the order process with Academy. I know they will more than likely stock the reels where they have been more popular. Maybe they just need to place another order with us but ae waiting for ICAST.
