View From the Bushes

Rather than continue to make excuses day after day, let's just say that the Midnight adventure will definitely be available on Labor Day (September 6th, this coming Monday) and spare both of us the incessant bemoaning of the cruelty of that most fickle of all mistresses, Fate. Okay, that was a little melodramatic, but I had to shove it in all at once since I won't be mentioning it again until it's released.

Well, I went to the FLGS during lunch today. I was looking to buy the "World's Largest Dungeon" and I was hoping to talk the owner into cutting me a little bit of a deal, since it's $100 if I buy from it from him and around $65 if I buy it online. Of course, his initial reaction was to bristle a little bit, and tell me fine, go buy it off Amazon, but once I assured him of my desire to support my FLGS he relented and told me that he could give me 10% off. So I bought it, and since it ended up being 10% on anything I bought, I tossed in the Draconomicon and a couple of pairs of Giants of Legends boosters. I've also placed bids on a couple of cases of minature boosters, (different sets--Dragoneye and Archfiends--from what I bought today) on e-bay (which initially I thought there was no way I'd end up winning, but now I'm not so sure). In the final analysis, I think I may have just eliminated any chance of getting a Christmas gift this year. And I may be paying with my birthday as well.

Doh! I was just checking out e-bay again and there's another case of boosters being offered (this from yet a third set I wasn't already bidding on (Giants of Legend) which is (depending on what it goes for) even a better deal than the other two. I think I might need help, is there a D&D Miniatures anonymous?
