Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 951806" data-attributes="member: 277">Yeah right Walmart will edit my PB. Hmm on the selection comment. They have some of the top 40 more like top 20. But I still unable to find an Andy Griffin comedy choice. And occasionally I see a Bill Cosby. So except for SteamRoller and the Classic music collections I forced to shop elsewhere.Does Walmart have the power to edit music? Yes only because the music companies have decide to roll over and edit their singers content. Humm okay I will give you that argument. All LHS no matter if gaming, model trains, wargaming etc need to be aware they are in a very niche market and that market have a very slim profit margin. So you the customers need to quit taking the five finger discount. The owners and staff need to work on customer service. Good example in 1982 Ft Devens Mass. The LHS had everything from wargames, board games, rpg and the support items. And he was willing to special order and hold to payday. Current FLHS hmm let say I will be getting a subscription to Nodwick and related books.  Also I an old gamer so I know my few purchases will not help him. But too many excuses etc means my money goes else where. In fact the local train store lost $15 Saturday. They no longer take checks due the owner has not decide where to stay in business. Not due to customers but his staff mess up. He is not restocking, only open on Saturday, and the cashier knows nothing. Plus the price mark up. Example a passenger car set called the Broadway limited lists from the manufacture at $124 for a 4 car pack or $168 for six car pack with shipping. His price per car is $99. At first I thought the price was G scale (garden/outside size) not O scale (Lionel). Now my hobby dollar is moving from the SCA and D&D to trains. Why? Expense is one since it takes me $40 plus gas to go to an event. Second lack of regular players, what do you do when only 1 guy shows up to game. Third a new hobby equal wiliness to spend money in new hobby vs old hobby. I just wish I was 18 and in Army now. The LFHS would be getting a lot of my money due to the number of choices now.Also I have purchased RPG items in Toys –R- Us, Barnes and Nobles, B Dalton, Walden Books and some small toy stores.  Now the selection was small but unless the item is best seller, retailers are not going to stock the low rollovers when they can sell dozens of  Harry Potter items at the same time. So the LHS should, if they can, try to work with the managers of big chains to see if they could get the word out that why BIG EVIL WALMART does not carry dice, Bill hole in wall store does.</blockquote>
