BOYCOTT of Wotc miniatures

[Jehosephat]

So you don't bring a spring balance into the shop with you? Your loss.

I guess I'll have to start. Also maybe set up different box combos to see how much certain combos weigh.

... so, how's the boycott going?

Seems to be working. I haven't bought any cases since December...

It doesn't seem too off for me. I've only purchased three DragonEye boosters so far, but I've pulled three different rares.

Here's a good test. There are 20 rares in DragonEye right? And 16 boosters to a case. Roll a d20 16 times and write down the results. You're going to get duplicates. When you start talking about purchasing large volumes of boosters then you can expect an even distrabution. But with any smaller sampling your going to see different results.

It sucks. Between a coworker and myself we've purchased about 35 Harbiger boosters an are still missing 9 rares. At least the packs don't contain the same commons. That would blow.

But they do... for example 16 boosters, 14 Dwarf Barbarians, a number of boosters had exactly the same mix of commons, or the same mix of uncommons.

Harbinger had a bad distribution mix. Dragoneye has been much, much better. I suspect it will be completely fixed in Archfiends.

Well, then, I guess I just haven't gotten good enough to tell yet. You see, it hasn't helped me get one single mini I wanted. C'est la vie.

First booster I bought I got a Red Dragon and I picked that box because it was heavier than the others.

I'll have to remember that. In this instance it didn't make too much difference because I ended up buying all the store had eventually anyway.

I don't understand why the ugly friggin guy with the scythe has to be in every box

It is an issue - and there isn't an easy way to stop it.

Well, Wizards could glue a random number of pennies to the bottom of every box. (Perhaps that's why they're raising the price to $12.99! ;-)
