[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1161780, member: 3586"] You guess wrong. Rob Heinsoo said: "As I understand the production process, our Chinese vendor was chosen partially on the basis that they could certify that their factories were child-labor free and otherwise responsible, something that the competitors couldn't fully manage. "We've been very very lucky to have signed on with the vendor we did. Most every phase of the production process has been a pleasant success instead of the teething disasters that could have occurred. " As opposed to the overly-complicated, unbalanced mess it was when it was first released and with the first few expansion sets? I've played Magic for nine and a half years now, and the rules are much clearer and the sets much more balanced than when it was first released. Only if you buy the miniatures. :) Look, if you [i]don't[/i] like the D&D Miniatures and you [i]do[/i] want miniatures, then Reaper and all the other existing metal companies STILL EXIST! They haven't been put out of business. If you [i]don't[/i] want miniatures, then why are you trying to persuade of us who do that they are a bad idea? If you [i]do[/i] want miniatures, but want them cheaply and non-random... well, it's a little telling that there is no company who produces them in that manner, isn't it? Economic realities do not permit companies to produce a large range of cheap miniatures in a non-random fashion. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
