There are IMHO too many weird minis, especially from Eberron (because they want to promote sales in their other area). But also for example there's an abundance of slightly different monks (basically all bald barechested males). I consider myself a very "generic DM", and I would have absolutely no use for those. If I wanted to play Eberron, I would like to be able to buy Eberron minis, and even if they were random, at least I'd like to have a random Eberron line, not Eberron minis scattered in all the sets. This sort of problem goes away if random packaging is dropped, even if the idea is not to sell individual minis, but rather to sell boxes of 5-10 specific minis.Anyway, about metal minis... those are of course nicer. If you are good at painting, otherwise they can be awful. They are definitely better, but IMHO it becomes an entire new hobby (double time, double cost), and the vast majority of the players I know personally cannot afford that. But, for those who can there are probably plenty of brands already for metal figures... as such I think that your company should have an easier time to aim at the plastic low-cost minis, which still have an open niche.</blockquote>
