You are correct, I'm part of a game store. And it's a shame Wyrd did their plasticrap so that ended it for us. Which is the whole reason I'm making the switch. I figure 4 or 5 rule books to start and the same of all the box sets should be enough to kick start Empire. Let them use whatever they want and go!
I suppose plasticrap would be ok.
We'll make it work!
