[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3313945, member: 4134"] Like the others said: rational variation and luck. I know I got two beholders, both out of boosters. I got 3 Pit Fiends, all out of boosters. I'd guess they'd make that one rarer if it really were rare. Plus, some seem "very rare" because everyone wants them, and wants them in multiples. After how many cases? Or are you only buying loose boosters? Or do you do't buy boosters at all? After 1 case, you have each common (x4), each uncommon (half of them twice), and exactly half the rares. Another case will get you something like 6 more rares (and 6 dupes), a third could give you the rest, or you could get only one more (or no more) rares you don't have yet. I think the closest I got was all but 2 rares after 3 cases in a regular set, or all but 1 rare in a starter set (with only 23 rares; plus, it was 3 cases of boosters and 2 starter sets). But with a little luck, you'll get all the expensive ones, and/or can trade those you need for the dupes you don't need. It's not only occasionally, It happens more or less regularly. It's no problem, though: Get a cup of boiling water, put the figure (the bent part) into the water for 10 seconds, watch it get back into shape, put it into cold (icy) water. BAM! Figure fixed. Well, I have a room set aside exclusively for D&D and related gaming. I have 6 (going to be 8) Bertby (Ikea) display cases hanging on the walls, and a couple of boxes to store the surplus. Otherwise, large toolboxes from the building centre work well, or tackle boxes. They're still a lot easier to store than metal minis, since you can just put them into compartments. No padding or anything needed, nothing will break off unless you force the issue. [/QUOTE]
