[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4328856, member: 317"] What I've seen around here is 4e being enthusiatically embraced by gamers. On June 6th, my FLGS had 36 slipcase D&D sets, 36 PHBs, 24 DMGs, and 24 MM's and sold them all in 4 hours! They have since then brought in about 80 more PHBs, 50 MM and DMGs, and they are almost all gone as well. A friend who works at the local Barnes and Noble gave me a similar account of what they are seeing there too. What I am seeing is a LOT of people selling off their 3.x D&D stuff. The used book shelf is packed with 3.x books that the FLGS owner doubts will ever move, so he's Ebaying them off at about $7 a pop for the hardcovers, and $3 for the softcovers. I'm also playing in a 4e group at my FLGS and from what the employees say, people have been very happy and excited about 4e, and they have had ZERO returns of the 4e books so far, and nobody has sold any of them back to the store. Quite a few people have told the FLGS employees that they were driven away from D&D by 3.x, but 4e got their interest back. I don't doubt there is some 4e hate going on, but I'm not seeing it around here. [/QUOTE]
