Not at all. There's one within a few miles of my house.

Hobbytown is not "hobby market" the way we tend to use it in these discussions; it's more "mass speciality." Comic book stores definitely fall into the hobby market, but many of them don't carry games (although they would probably be able to special order most games if they carry any games at all). Specialized game stores are also in the hobby market as we use the term and would be your best bet if there are any local to you.

Munchkin didn't get into "big box" stores until it had a decade of solid sales history, and even then we aren't guaranteed to stay there -- the competition for shelf space is fierce. It certainly doesn't give us an advantage on placing new games.
