What WotC employees are getting for Christmas!

[Ranger REG]

This is the one I want to auction off for charity:

That would be one cool antenna ball.

IMO, WotC should auction a handful of these on eBay and donate the proceeds to a charity this Christmas. That way a few non-WotC folks could actually get their hands on one, a charity makes some money, and WotC gets some good press. That's my two coppers anyway...

The thing about that is that they will very likely become unaffordable for most (depending on how many they auction). Remember that the original 4 Horseman for Mage Knight originally were going for several thousand dollars each. There seem to have been 8 of each (9 if you count Jordan Weisman's set).

These could very well reach that level. Great for the charities, not very nice for the "market."

That's what happens when there is a large demand and a very limited supply though.

Thousands? For charities? I fail to see what's wrong with that, markets be damned.

Yeah, I was trying to find a way of wording it and failed.

What I meant was the "These are cool, I'd like a chance at one?" feeling isn't helped for all but very few when it goes at those prices. If you don't have a few thousand to throw at one of these figures than you have no chance.

Now, if WotC had a raffle for them with the fees going to charity, that would serve that feeling. For a few bucks you get a chance at the figure. There are legal complications with such a thing, though.

Price skyrockets.

However ... you'll never sell your final unit of a good in a micro-econ model.

Ideally, given that they have a monopoly, you could auction off several hundred of them and simply space them out. Auction 3 or 4 at a time, demand can stay up and the price gets determined by the bidding.

I originally thoguhtthiswas ike a review of wizards performance or something like " What would you give WotC for christmas?"

Iwas expecting many "lumps of coal" answers.

Any update?

Scott, were you able to procure more "Snowballs" for a contest/auction?

 

[megamania]

But on the bright side: It's a 4E beholder! Perhaps it's the sculpt of the next DDM beholder, just with snowy plastic and paintjob! Now we can see it in advance!

Cheers, LT.

I tend to think so
