[QUOTE="Festivus, post: 5130700, member: 34532"] I don't see a lot of what they are complaining about with our FLGS. They ordered EXTRA copies of PHB3 after they sold out of their initial order, our gameday events are some of the best business days for the FLGS in terms of 4E book sales, we always fill up the special events, and we have six or seven encounter tables, all full. The premiere program has driven a ton of business his way and he's very happy about it. 4E books have been a boon for them, and very likely will continue to be. The influx of 3.x books for trade for 4E books has been on the uptake too, so much so that they don't offer as much in trade for them as he used to. I for one, see more and more people coming to our events who used to play in the late 70's early 80's, saw the you tube video of the robot chicken guys and decide to come in. I am unsure about the new direction with the red box starter set (there is a starter set already, and you can get most of the rules from the free download now)... but nothing takes the place of sitting down and having someone show you how to play the game. The complaint about the person making a phb1 rogue and a phb3 shardmind psion struck me as funny, because I couldn't create a week 1 shardmind psion with the character builder because you can't do it yet... so I earned 8 RP, same as the person with the human rogue and earned 5rp for using a CB character, and 3 for finishing the encounter. I look forward to more and more retail support from WoTC. I also continue to purchase the bulk of my books at the FLGS, as well as games, because I find it a valuable resource. The employees are all very knowledgable about EVERY product they sell, they are courteous, clean, and the store is nicely arranged. [/QUOTE]
