[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 1971976, member: 10784"] Some good points. I love my Mordheim freelance knight, as he comes both mounted & on horseback... I also have a couple of Warhammer Empire wizards that are similar, both mounted and on foot. Minis with alternate weapons is a good idea, but will a human fighter with a halberd sell as well as one with a longsword or two handed sword? Probably not, but will it sell enough to justify the cost? Perhaps they can have "fighter with one handed weapon", "fighter with two weapons" and "fighter with two handed" and give you a couple of weapon choices for each? Again, of some of your other choices, are elementals, mephits and the like that in demand to justify the cost of creating the mold & making the mini? I would consider those things as a "nice to have" but not something that is needed on a weekly basis, assuming weekly gaming sessions. And, you are 100% correct on eBay - it can be a great source of minis, and not just WotC. I said 'can be', as the majority of painted stuff can be pretty lousy. But, then you have phenomenal painters like Jen Haley, Matt Verzani and others putting stuff on eBay on occasion as well... though, good luck getting anything of Jen's under $250 for an individual mini.
