Unless Mongoose makes major changes to what's in the core rulebook, that won't be a problem.
Of course, if they put out a free pdf with whatever tables are updated so they can be printed and attached over the (now) incorrect ones that would extend the life of the screen.
LBH, I hear what you are saying. In 2008 I tried to order some of the 3rd ed GURPS books through my FLGS and even with prepaying for them only got two of the four... the other two were some how "out of stock, no longer in print"... I just went back to the SJGames website online store and ordered them there.
One of our major bookstore chains had that problem when Kenzer&Co released the "Kingdom of Kalamar Atlas". The warehouse kept saying "out of print" even though the book had just released last month. Turns out the buyer for that dept wouldn't order it even after repeated contacts from the owner/Pres of K&C. The manager of the store I was helping actually had to go to a game store to buy what he should have had in his own store.
