Inevitable.

Not always and not this quick. Radiant Citadel is still full price for example.

Amazon Australia doesn't even have it listed yet. Though given how things have gone recently it won't be arriving here to November at the earliest, so it's not like there's any hurry...

That sucks for us FLGSs, who probably will pay close to $50 CAD for it, and can't possibly afford to sell them for $55 at that price. I swear that one of the reasons they jack the MSRP up so high is because 80% of the copies they print will be sold for somewhere around 30% off, give or take. Effectively the "real" price is $65 but they "tax" us small stores (and anyone who wants to support us) with the "you don't have a CEO with a yacht"-tax.

On the other hand, still need to go through a local store to get the alt covers, which I will be.

Yes, it's our consolation prize. (The alt covers on these books look absolutely amazing, too!)

Still, I wish that the big A wouldn't discount them quite so much. (I also wish that the MSRP was lower! I'm not trying to have you guys pay more!)

At any rate, I am looking forward to these books, both as a fan and as a retailer!

No, it's gross.

In Canada, I find that many (though certainly not all) independent game stores have better prices than Amazon.ca for D&D, other RPGs, and most board games. That Spelljammer set would be an exception, not the rule.

I very rarely purchase RPG products via Amazon, but I spend +/- $1,000 every year at indie game stores.

Possibly Canada has a different retail tax system? It isn't really possible for UK retailers to compete with tax-dodging Amazon.
