[QUOTE="Bloodstone Mage, post: 1006248, member: 12666"] I still wish that Wizards would team up with Lego...the possibilities are endless. The first video game RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy VII. I loved the way the chibbies looked in that game. So blocky and Lego-like. I don't know why I think it's so cool. That's partly the reason why I'm obsessed with the idea of D&D Legos. I can see the D&D Miniatures issue as good and bad. I could see why it would recruit more D&D players (heck, I got into D&D because I liked Magic: The Gathering, and they were both from the same company, so hey! I probably wouldn't have got into D&D without Magic: The Gathering). But then again, people who are already miniature collectors and who play miniatures realize that this a bad way to do miniatures, and I agree. When I want a gnoll miniature, I want a gnoll miniature! I don't want to have to go through ten packs of eight or so miniatures just to find one! Then again, if you don't want randomized miniatures, you don't have to buy them. It's not like Wizards controls the miniatures industry. Overall, I think it is a bad idea, because it affects the D&D movement and face/reach rules, which affect other things as well. But I might buy a pack or two just to see what they look like and how useful they become to me. If it turns out to be much of a hassle, I won't have any major losses. I just bought a pack or two. It wouldn't surprise me that Wizards is probably gonna ride a little on cash made from people who make the same decision I do. But that's just my opinion. Also, if anyone knows where I can get some Legos from the Medieval sets, please let me know! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
