[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3307415, member: 4134"] I just measured some of the LG human types. They're about 1 1/4" tall. Note that there are some differences in scale (as not every human is the same size), and figures have been getting a big taller overall. 2) I've been looking on websites. "Booster packs" are 10 or 12 bucks...and "Huge" packs are 18 or 19. What is a "Huge" pack? Does that mean more miniatures in the pack, or miniatures that are bigger in size (for my elderly eyes :))?[/QUOTE] The old huge boosters (the Giants of Legend Set) had 9 figures (the regular 8 figures and one huge one), while the new huge boosters (from War of the Dragon Queen) has only 8 figures total (7 normal ones and 1 huge). Usually, the boosters contain figures of sizes small - large, with the occasional tiny figure thrown in. Smaller minis aren't made (would be quite a hassle I think). Huges are only available in those huge packs, and larger critters as Icons (no boosters, just a single miniature - so far we have gargantuan Blue and Black dragons, as well as a colossal Red) Note the secondary market! Yes, Wizards sells them in boosters, where you can't choose what minis you get. No, they probably won't sell them separately in blisters, or do any theme packs beyond the Basic Game. That doesn't mean that you can't get those figures from somewhere, though! There's several online shops (as well as some local gaming stores) that sell those minis as singles. And eBay has tons of figures for sale, many of which are from some very reputable eBay Stores. Rares will be a bit more expensive (and some of those really cool figures like Beholders will fetch quite a price), but you can get commons and uncommons quite cheap. Commons start at 40 cents and might go up to 1 dollar, and uncomons are probably somewhere between 75 cents and 2 dollars. Of course, you have to pay shipping on top of that (and some demand outrageous shipping costs). If you're located in the US, the number one eBay store is Auggie's, to be found at [url]http://stores.ebay.com/Auggies-Games-n-Movies[/url] He charges a flat $3.50 for shipping, and commons start at 29 cents.
