Well, as some of you might know, I'm on a vacation in Prague, looking for some LotR TCG players. I was hoping to find a similar situation as last year; lots of active players, tournaments each month and so on. The main place where all this happened is a TCG retailer store called "Outpost".
So, I went there yesterday and I was shocked. When I was asking for LotR TCG players, the answer was: "Yeah, sometimes there's somebody who plays LotR, but there aren§t many people like that."
Dang. There it goes. Czech republic, especially the Outpost vwas "the place" for me where you can play LotRand meet other people that play it. That was really hard for me.
But there's a very good reason for this: The old owner of the shop, known as "the hobbit" gave the game a lot of support. As he isn't here anymore, lots of things changed. Instead of tons boxes of Lotr TCG cards, they have just seven or eight folders...
And they also have no idea of pricing. Here's a list of cards I bought from my "Feriengeld", for just 443 Czechish crowns (23,63 USD):

I'm happy to get that bunch of cards so cheaply, but still, I don't like seeing my favorite shop going down like that. What should I do?
