This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: kythri;560000I guess I find it odd that Amazon US is buying these from a UK/Euro distributor, rather than a US distributor...

I think Wizards has been holding out on Amazon for these.

WotC releases are usually up for pre-order on Amazon from almost the moment they're announced, but despite them being up for pre-order on Wizards' site for ages, and the pricing details well known, there's been no Amazon links until very recently.

My guess is Amazon gave Wizards the finger and found another way around to getting them.  Or its a third party seller that's importing the stock to get around the apparent embargo.

Quote from: HombreLoboDomesticado;560290Personally, I don't care for them, but I'm glad you enjoy your books and everybody else is having fun being jealous.


Book Depository will also have them, though you might have to practice some patience. Official listed release date there is 31 july.

Here, here and here on bookdepository.co.uk. You'll want to compare prices with bookdepository.com before placing any order.
Thanks for the information financially I'm in a nasty bind currently I missed out on holiday pay this month plus more something like 400-500 dollars, Marley is deep in the weeds. :)

Mine, I presume, are on a boat, on their way to Finchley.

I took a couple of pictures at Pundit's house. Not the best quality, but should give you a good idea of the books:

I have mine.  They are fantastic.  The type is so clear.  It's gorgeous.  Everything about these is awesome.  I am buying more copies in a couple months if they're still around.

Ooh!  Shiny!

Damn you, JongWK!  Now, I wantssss itssss! :)

monkeyfaceratboy

Sorry if this is a question that's been answered elsewhere, but are these simply scans of the original? Or have they been re-typeset with the original text/art? Or...?

Sacrosanct

Man, if you pre order them, delivery is in August.  But my FLGS has them now.  WTF?  Time to cancel pre-order.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

I better check my FLGS then. Hmm...so many books so little money.:(
