I still remember this kind of display with the Basic/Expert stuff in a store when I was a kid. I don't know if it was merely the store's doing or if TSR was involved, but I think it did help draw attention to the game. I've noticed the same thing with comic books & manga in the bookstores today. A couple of the game stores near me have spinners that seem to be dominated by Goodman's DCCs, which seem to help draw attention to them--which particularly get kind of lost on the shelves.Yeah. Of course, I'm sure I'm not the target market.What bothers me is that I still don't think D&D3e or it's "basic set" serve as a good introduction to the hobby. Raising visibility isn't going to help too much if it isn't the right product.I suppose it might help sales among the "already play 3e but don't keep up with what's new" set. & maybe that's what their marketing needs to be doing. But it's not what I'd like to see them doing.That's clearly not true. I've been special ordering books that they'd never stock from bookstores since...well, practically since I had an allowance. Amazon's been making a profit since...what...2003? You can't really make fun of their business plan anymore.& I'm still finding myself special ordering through the brick & mortars since running "the tightest ship in the shipping business" these days appearantly means you don't have to bother with...you know...delivering packages.
