Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blacksad" data-source="post: 139280" data-attributes="member: 1359">I'll buy some import but...I can buy most product via amazon.fr or amazon.de, the problem is I want to support my Hobby store (great service, and the possibility to look at a product before buying it), and the problem for Wizards Europe is that those books come directly from WotC U.S., already at a cheaper (1 or 2$)  via amazon and WotC Europe couldn't sell them at a higher price (in fact the Star Wars book cost 15$ less if it is bought via amazon.uk), so I think it's stupid on WotC U.S. to ask more money from WotC Europe, blocking product, and making store owner angry.[edit]and real store represent 90% of the sales in Europe[/edit]The translation part doesn't really bother me, it bother store owner and most customer who don't speak a word of english, so yes we get INS/MV, and the d20 setting Archipel, but on the other hand the translation of Star Wars d220 that we'll get for episode II will be the non-revised, and the revised in english won't be available, those things are seller and I think that the management at WotC U.S. do not apraise correctly the market in Europe. It's a pity.It doesn't affect me directly, but it affect the RPG market, even if L5R and Cthulhu are more popular in France, D&D and WotC product are still quite popular, but then can't be sold at a higher price, then the move from WotC U.S. to ask more seems stupid.Also, perhaps they should think about the ESD program for Europe now that WotC Europe is a separate entity, perhaps that would be what will give more money to WotC Europe.[edit]Risk 2210: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN2/B00005LL3I/qid=1018098015/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-1118045-2168926" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN2/B00005LL3I/qid=1018098015/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-1118045-2168926</a>[/edit]</blockquote>
