D&D 3.5 has arrived in Ottawa, ON, Canada!

[Winterthorn]

I don't know if I'm the first ENWorld member to see 3.5 in a store in Canada, but I got mine today! Woo-hoo!

Fandom II, my FLGS in Ottawa is selling the PH + DMG + MM trio at $100.00 CDN. If you add tax it comes to $107.00 for the set. Otherwise they're charging $41.73 each book (that includes the 7% GST).

Amazon.ca has a somewhat better deal that would total $101.02 (3 times 31.47 + GST, and accounts for free shipping).

I would have saved $6 if I bought the books online... (Big deal. $6 CDN doesn't buy much these days anyways! )

If it wasn't for the good price today, I would've waited for the SRD. (I'll probably download the SRD later on for laptop use for those more portable gaming sessions )

So, anyone else with their fresh spanking new copies?

PS: The 3.5 DMG looks fabulous! All DM's should at least borrow a copy for reference if they don't buy it.

I forgot: I picked up a copy of Mongoose's d20 Babylon 5 RPG too... (More on that elsewhere... )

Grey Regions in Toronto is also selling them. However, I'm getting them via Amazon.

Grey Regions has a sale on the first Sunday of every month. If you can wait, try then.

Winnipeg had it on the 17th. One of our FLGSs is selling it for $39.00 before tax, while another is selling it for $36.00 before tax.

I also bought my set from Fandom II in Ottawa today for C$107 (including tax).

Edit: Appended the "including tax" bit.

Where is Grey Regions?

I've been to the Hairy T (man, they gouge there), the 401 Convenience and Nexus X before they suddenly imploded.

Here in Waterloo there are at least 2 places with heavy discounts. One is selling them for $34.95 if you're with the University Gaming Club (I'm not sure what they're charging everyone else), and teh other has them stickered at $33.50 for everyone. The SRP is $44.95, although apparently it isn't printed on the books which is odd for WotC.

I got the PHB in Kamloops B.C., so if your town doesn't have it yet.... I feel bad that you live in a crappier town then Kamloops.

LA Mood in London Ontario had 'em today. $128 after tax for the set is a little more than some of you guys paid, but that gets you 10% back as credit for other game purchases as part of their loyalty program.

Plus, they really do put the "F" in FLGS. Good folks!

Grey Regions is on Yonge just South of Wellesley in Toronto.

Hairy T gave me the impression they didn't like 3.5 and were only going to get two copies. A friend of mine bought the MM 3.5 (for himself, but he's lending it to me) but I have to wait until tomorrow. Arrghhh!
