One person ordering from Amazon or WalMart.com or whereever will not break the hobby. Many, many people not ordering from FLGSs because the big retail chains are cheaper, and faster -- this can break the concept of the FLGS... which, in my estimation, will break the hobby. YMMV.

{bows} Yes, it is original. :)

Thus, I think this is an accidental effect of a much larger problem. I was not trying to assign motive, only display a rather straight-forward point about their motive not being the issue: the effect is the same.

Well Derek, I cannot tell you how much I feel for you, man. Wish there was more I could do for you.

Uh... wow. I had no idea.

This is really odd... to the point of getting me really mad. Is WotC purposefully or accidentally trying to kill the Friendly Local Game Store?

Does anyone know if Talon Comics has already shipped the 3.5 books or when they will ship them? This is just an inquiry. I know that all of those at Talon Comics are working hard to ensure that all of us who ordered through them will get our books in a timely fashion... furthermore, I am fully...
