Where to purchase core rulebook?

By dbestwow, in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion RPG

So I Want to run an AOR campaign but I can't seem to find anywhere to buy this book at it's regular price range. Cheapest I have found is around £90 and I ain't paying that much.

Hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction to buy a book. I have the PDF but I always prefer the book.

So, I'll tell you where to get the book if you tell me where to get the PDF.

Things not to say on a company's forums:

1) Openly admitting having a stolen copy of their product. :rolleyes:

In cases where a playtester was testing content for the line before the CRB was released, They are sometimes given a PDF copy of the CRB.

Sure. I have such myself, but our OP has a post count of <10 and it doesn't sound to me as though he's in that category.

Generally speaking, there appears to be a pattern of depleted supply at the end of the year/beginning of the new year. It may take a while to be replenished. Best bet is to keep your eyes peeled and check various outlets for availability.

Amazon,com still has stock with with some discount even and shipping to the uk should be okish. $45 + shipping. Regular price is $60.

To put into perspective, there are 21-22 books entirely unavailable to order from stores in the UK. This includes all three core rulebooks. Multiple books in the UK have become effectively out of print immediately after release.

This doesn't mean that an individual store might not have a copy (e.g. a friend picked up a store's last copy of Edge of Empire recently, but that shop wasn't able to get a restock afterwards), but that that list of 21/22 books is unavailable from the UK/EU distributor.

Individuals have raised this with FFG in the past, who implied it's because of not enough pre-orders, though UK stores don't typically get to order until the week of release anyways.

After that initial distribution wave into the UK, multiple books have had no follow-up stock until a reprint.

In essence, at the moment, unless you already have the majority of the books, you're unable to do so, and new groups cannot start the game with the rulebooks.
