So this is really more about you saving money than supporting small stores or publishers. I get it. The price of saving money is distribution time.

Yeah when you look at it that way.  I personally feel it's a Win-Win for supporting local business and saving money.  Usually the local companies are just unable to compete with online prices.  When they can like in this case, they are my go-to company every time, except this time haha.

I plan on canceling the pre-order with MM and just getting it through Chaosium and shelling the extra $25 bucks

Order from Chaosium. Cut out the middle man. Get it sooner.

Links are open folks. Update: They've disappeared again, so they may have needed to fix something.

I ordered my hard copy of BTMOM! After four years of collecting CoC supplements I finally have access to this campaign in hard copy.

Tough to cut out the middle man when the Middle Man is selling it plus PDF handouts for $25 less than buying direct.

Unfortunately, we have almost no control over when or how much any distributor will order from us, especially our overseas distributors. We also have almost no control over when those distributors offer the books to stores, let alone when the stores will actually order. Distributors don't even like us to know which specific stores they sell to.

NOTE: Because the BtMoM book is from 1999, it is for the 5th edition of the rules. Thus, we do not currently have plans to sell the book to distribution.

Miniature Market claims their Purchasing department believes they aren't even GETTING these books until JUNE!!!  What!?

I'm the same way.  I don't recall the last time I was obsessively getting on Chaosium's Twitter page and checking this one thread on the forums.  I am not missing out before they sell out.

I see that I'm not the only one checking the store daily for the "Horror on the Orient Express" and "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" reprints. 😆

The tension is virtually palpable! 😬

I'm anxiously awaiting the announcement for pre-ordering HotOE.  It's getting super close to being available to buy.  I've been checking their Twitter and this forum every day to see if there's any news.
