[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 3617957, member: 1013"] I used to try to give my LGS business with special orders, C&C stuff from TLG for examples it was a nightmare. I would order, they would tell me they had no idea when it would be in, hopefully next week. I would call back 2-3 weeks later and ask if they had gotten my book and just forgotten to call me. IF they even remembered sending the order in they would have no way of telling me when it was coming in, so they would say lets order it again and maybe this time it will come in. As you can guess I quit ordering anything from them at that point, and since I could get anything they had on the shelf at a 30% discount from Amazon I quit buying anything from them at all outside of paints and Reaper minis, though I sometimes bought them through rpgshop as well. There aren't any FLGS in St. Louis anymore. There is one chain of stores and while they don't suck, they are just LGS's and they offer no advantages at all to buying online. If they go out of business its just the way things go when a type of business cannot compete anymore. I will shed no tears for them. [/QUOTE]
