@runner paul: if you're willing to pay 70-100USD for a LE-sr4, it's possible that you may be able to entice your brick and mortar store to increase their shipment size to accomdate you if you committed to buy the LE from them for that price.
I got the impression from what I've been able to gather about the previous promotional that the BABY's were sent gratuit over the 24 regular books. if you can convince them they'll move 24 books in reasonable time ~and~ you'll buy the 'free extra' for doublish the normal price, they might go for it. I'll be keeping track, since I can't get to gencon- direct sale is my best bet too, but I imagine it'll go fast unless the direct sale is decently stocked (~100+ at the minimum), so If I can't get it that way, I'll be 'enticing' my local store with a full playset sale too (my players will get new editions since the upcoming fall term is the last I'll be able to GM for them) and my own purchase of the LE. |

I don't think my local store does the kind of volume to warant ordering a case, even if the deal were sweetened for them by getting $100 for a book that was thrown in free. I'm not too worried though. After all, I'd managed to get ahold of not just one, but two SR3 BABYs (One of which went to a guy who was my co-gm for Shadowrun all throughout highschool). First one I got during the nanosecond-BABY-buyout on FASAs online store, and the other I got on the secondary market. I'm sure that with a little determined effort, I'll be able to snag another limited edition this time around. And who knows? Maybe this time around there'll be more of them. After all, back in '98, limited and premium editions of RPG books were practically unheard of. These days, everyone from White Wolf and Wizards of the Coast, to Games Workshop, and even small time publishers like Sanguine Publishing have titles that have gotten the prestige edition treatment. There's a known market segement that buys these things, so it's not as much of a risk to make a bigger print run. |
