Saying that, we've still sold *a lot* of copies. We brought pretty heavy based upon pre-order figures we received and I think we're now down to the last16 or 20 gift sets and need to reorder all the individual core books on Monday as we have less than a dozen of each (I think possibly only 6 PHBs) left after two days of sales.
The initial feedback we've had from people at D&D Day at London Dungeons on Friday and also in the shop/friends who've read - or started reading - the books has been overwhelmingly positive. I've heard two people moaning about it but one of those is someone who generally moans about anything that changes so we weren't so surprised about that :p
I've only had a brief look through the PHB so far and I will admit that it looks interesting. From the snippets I'd heard before release it sounded like a lot of changes had been made and it certainly looks that way from the brief flick through I've had so far. The system seems to have got a lot of praise from non-D&D players too which has been interesting. I'll be keen on hearing what some mroe of my older die-hard D&D friends and customers think of it as it certainly has moved away from some of the more recent expectations of the game system.
We've also seen a very big upswing of sales of pre-painted D&D miniatures and dungeon floor plans/map packs in the last two days. But with the game also focusing more heavily on miniature play this wasn't really all that surprising.
Unfortunately I will probably have to leave reading the book for a while longer as I have to gen-up a character for Dom's Dark Heresy game which I'm joining on Tuesday night - and I haven't read more than the first few pages of that book yet!
