Which leaves the FLGS holding the bag. They paid to get the product at roll out and then the distributors hemorrhage the leftovers to discount outlets.
I wonder which of the recent edition swaps hurt FLGSs the worst.
- 3.0 to 3.5 {d20 glut included]
- Old World of Darkness to N-WoD
- 3.5 to 4.0
- 4.Essentials to 5.0
Wow, I have to start looking at the chain bookstores. There's a lot I could pick up to fill out my 4e collection. I love my FLGS, but he ain't one for discounting, so I really hope I can find somewhere that's liquidating...
EDIT: If anybody sees this happening at an American chain store (Borders, B&N, etc. etc.) please sing out!
