This edition is supposed to be exclusive to local independent brick and mortar game stores to help them compete with big box and online retailers that are underselling them out of existence. It’s shameful that Massdrop is selling this. If you’re able to, please support your local gaming community by buying this from your LGS instead of Massdrop.

brandon.cordellbecause people go and buy out local stores and sell them online. Everytime there's a special edition book it sells out instantly and goes on ebay for $30 more

prplprinceMassdrop has to have a source in the distribution chain. 120+ units sounds like unsold product sitting in a distributor's warehouse not some enterprising individual buying out a local store.

kasonaSome LGSes have online stores. Here’s one in St. Louis, MO that has it:

You’d still be supporting a local gaming community, even if it’s not your own.

elionWhen I tried to get a special edition of Volos Guide two years ago, neither of my local shops knew about it till I told them, and the one I DID reserve a copy with (they said they were only taking reservations) neglected to tell me it was a 24hr hold and sold my copy before I came in on the weekend to pick it up. I'm all for supporting local shops but NOT poor management. I'm glad to see this on Massdrop.

worrymonsterThis actually happened to a friend of mine as well. The next store he went to was up charging the book to absurd prices. Although these books are "for" LGSs some can be dicks about it.
