I'm feeling very out of touch; I managed to miss some major announcements about the future of D&D and the D&D Miniatures line. Oh well, I'm catching up now.
Source: Wizards, through the coverage of their seminar by Living Dice:
Later in 2010, the Lords of Madness miniature set will be released. It won't have a visible miniature in it, instead being fully random, and consisting of 1 Huge miniature plus 5 other miniatures per pack.
The big feature of this set is it will be the *only* set of (random) D&D Minis in 2010, and they'll be going forward with the one set/year from now on - or until they change their minds.
Of course, they're doing other non-random sets for specific customers, such as the gargantuan Orcus miniature ($75) which will be released to hobby shops only; and there's also the Beholder pack release coming up (not mentioned in the seminar, but talked about by Bill Slavicsek in his Ampersand column).
Cheers!

). If one or both of them are in the next Huge set I will be a very happy man.
