The owner of my LCS just informed me that, due to it costing far too much, he won't be participating in FCBD. So now I don't get Runaways/X-Men. Fucking lame. I don't blame him, though. It's really awful that these guys are expected to shell out the cash for an event like this. It's supposed to be FREE. Making little shop owners pay for them is BS.
And now I don't get Runaways/X-Men which was really sounding like an awesome little package...

Shop owners also have to pay to advertise! WTF! And their lease usually costs something, unless they own teh building. But even if they own the building, it means they had to pay for it once! That sucks! And all that food they need to stay alive? Costs money. I know! It's bullshit!
Luckily, the air they breath is free.... for now....

It does kind of suck, though. I'm sure someone on the board will send you a copy, and I suspect that was your reason for posting this in the first place.
Sarcasm is duly noted.
Marvel and DC have the cash to pony up to give out free comics. Why is it that LCS owners should be expected to take a hit?

I think Marvel and DC DO take a hit.
I dunno, as far as I know they're pretty scarce. We had 2, but one closed down a few years back.
Only other place I get comics is an FYE in Rochester, but I doubt that would participate in the event.

I'm in the same boat
The publishers will take huge hits making the comics, plus all the added shipping costs etc.
It blows that the retailers have to pay, but after all, the purpose of them giving away free comics is to hopefully bring in more customers on a regular basis.
Even one regular customer over the year would probably pay back all they shell out for the fcbd stuff.
