Why would speculators buy in quantity of the #5 issue?
why did they do it with panzerfaust?
I'm not sure a conclusion can be drawn, yet. LCS's response to issues selling out is to bump their orders, and there are 4s and 5s on the racks in my area.
I'm still in the camp that this book has become the pie in the spec's eyes, but I don't think they are buying 5 in big numbers. Guys may be buying an extra copy or two to match up with sets, though.
We'll see how it goes at the spring shows. I knew Saga, MP, and ToT were drawing in readers when the earlier issues were being asked for and sold to run builders.
My LCS `s. :
# 3 disappeared
#4 sat for a bit but got bought up
#5 still a stack on the shelf
