[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6237670, member: 37579"] Never saw the boxed set in local Walmart or Targets. So it likely varies based on location. Because you can't sell everything. I did see the Red Box at the local Chapters, but the other books were a random assortment of other unsold books. And the starter box being sold there means nothing if you can't buy the core rulebooks to continue playing. The point is to create sustainable sales and new regular players. Boxed Sets are expensive and have a low profit. And it's hard to get an adequate amount of content in a Boxed Set. And there's the feeling of financial waste once you buy the full game and the starter set was irrelevant. One thing to remember was the old Red Box was the first product in Basic. So when you went to Expert you kept using the content from the Red Box. It was only if you want to AD&D that the Red Box was superfluous. [/QUOTE]
