[QUOTE="MartyW, post: 7780981, member: 6776795"] Regardless of the "intended audience", everyone knows this set is going to sell like hot fire to existing D&D fans too. The Target exclusivity cuts that sales spike completely out of the FLGS' bottom line. By the way, for everyone else, there is nothing that says this box set will replace the Starter Set. Quite the contrary. Perkins even noted that this set can be used together with LMoP to enhance the adventure with other quest hooks and objectives. On the stream, they called it a "next step" from the Starter Set before a consumer might purchase the core books. You can watch it here: [url]https://youtu.be/Kk_S8jU3Hhc?t=3631[/url] There's going to be the original Starter Set, the Stranger Things box set, the Rick & Morty box set, and the Essentials Kit all selling [I]at the same time[/I].
