[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 7647607, member: 60075"] Apart from MME, which is hard to get with ordinary online retailers, you should check out thebookdepository.com - they are owned by Amazon, give you free shipping worldwide, and their prices are consistently lower than Amazon UK or Germany. I buy a lot of D&D and Pathfinder over there, and while it takes long to deliver, and there are occasional problems with packaging quality (you'll usually get a full refund though), it's the best online value for money I've found in the past five years. A significant factor of anyone's buying decision is which PC classes the items are for - i.e. which PCs you got in your current (and foreseeable) campaign. Beyond some really nice items that are class neutral (consumables, immurements, and what not) 4E's magic item books are [I]de facto[/I] companion volumes for specific books which introduced new classes. I consider the following a very reasonable break down: PHB 1 --> You need AV 1. PHB 2 --> You need AV 2. Heroes of the ... --> Mordenkainen's ME. In this light, I'd advise to get AV 1. And if your players ever start to play barbarians (PH 2) or sentinel druids (HotFK) then I'd recommend AV 2 and MME respectively. But until then, your money is better spent elsewhere. May I actually recommend getting PH 2 regardless? I always think of 4th edition as a complete game only with the PH 1 + PH 2 combo, and PH 2 is in any case one of the absolute high points of the edition. Mearls called it his finest. [/QUOTE]
