[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 1670076, member: 5473"] That Wizards of the Coast store is gone, and you're right, the Brentano's doesn't carry RPG stuff any more (I never saw any in there, actually, but I've only been going there for around 8-9 years since it's close to my work). I eon't know about the [i]other[/i] store in the Beverly Center that you mention that carries d20/gaming stuff. I used to really like All-Star Games back when I went to Cal Poly 'cause it was close by. But, over the years, everyone I knew who worked there has left (as a side note, Jim Pinto, from AEG, used to work there - he and I actually went to college together, although we didn't really know each other at the time). Now, all the new people who work there are super-nice and friendly, but you're totally right about the shrink-wrapping. I [i]hate[/i] that. They're also a little lax about updating their website. As far as not being near the airport... well, I guess it's [i]kinda[/i] close to the Ontario Airport, but there's that whole "909" issue to deal with. :) j/k Sorry, yes, I was referring to you. I thought you went there a little more often. But, I think you've got the right idea with "best of a bad lot". That's how I feel about GameZone (it's "best" for me 'cause it's closer to where I live). But, yeah, I don't get all that excited about it. [/QUOTE]
