Where are you buying Mordenkainen's Magnificient Emporium?

I bought it online form Games Lore in the UK.

Yeah they look cheap until they add the P&P. I prefer Infinity Games UK

I'm looking to buy, but it's hard living in Korea. I think I'll use ccgarmory for a total price of $35 with shipping.... still debating if it's worth it.

Bought it from Fun 4 All, in Ypsilanti. Don't mind buying the occasional book in person as opposed to Amazon.

As there is no FLGS within 50 miles of me, I have no choice but to order online. If WotC doesn't want to support those of us that don't have an FLGS, I won't be supporting them. Voted not buying it if it isn't available online. Not to mention the prices you have to pay at brick and mortar. Just not worth it.

...what? Has WotC limited this book to brick & mortar stores only? That is a very unusual move for them.

I'm quite confused by what you mean here though - you won't support WotC but you'll buy the book online? You seem to want it available in a game shop close to you (or wish there was a shop close to you I suppose) but then go on to say those kinds of shops are not worth buying at. Huh?

To clarify (I could be wrong), MME is being released to brick & mortar stores in advance of its release via the major online-only outlets.

Can anyone confirm or debunk this?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Well, I can confirm it's been in some of my local stores for weeks.

Yes, weeks.

I thought this one was B&M store only.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I have no idea.

Maybe in the US, but it doesn't seem so in the UK.

For example I don't think Infinity Games UK has a B&M Store. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Amazon UK are only stocking it through associated stores not themselves (note don't buy through Infinity Games Amazon store, buy through their own site, as it is cheaper). Saying that Amazon UK tends to always get stuff after the B&M stores in the UK, in my experience. They use to be early at one point, but haven't been for years.

Personally I rarely if ever buy from a B&M store, the nearest one to me is Manchester, a 40 minute drive so several quid in petrol, then parking charges will probably be another £5 or so. All told before I even pay the cover price I'll be out of pocket at least £10, when online stores are often at discounts of 10% to 15%, you would be need to have more money than sense to buy at a store.
