popularcollections.com sells singles, too, although prices are fluctuating and some of the rares are insanely expensive ($14.99 for a displacer beast!).

I have a sort of similar situation. One store (the biggest gaming store in Florida) is completely sold out. They can't get them in fast enough. Another, much smaller, store across town isn't selling that many at all. I mean they're selling, but they're not flying off the shelves.
Luckily the store that isn't selling out is on my way to work. You know what that means...

Is 1701 still the biggest gaming store, or is there a better one in Orlando?

Sometimes the best place to find the minis are bookstores, rather than
FLGSs because the FLGSs sell out. It seems like most Barnes and Noble
owned bookstores (just about everything around here) sell them.

I've played the skirmish game a handful of times; it is great for killing time before our weekly game starts. It is not all that bad, and it is super easy to learn if you know how 3.5 combat works in the first place. I don't at all care for the unit combat section of the Minis Handbook, but I'm sure I can figure something out that I like.
The FLGS here is selling a fair amount of them; by various comments, there will probably be more sold when the next set comes out and the painting quality improves. I would imagine that WotC would improve on this - after all, they have demonstrated that it is possible to make the minis look damned good - look at the Bearded Devil! That one looks amazing!
As far as packaged sets, I'd love to see massive amounts of similar models sold. I don't know exactly what the now defunct warbands had in them, so hopefully I am not bringing up a moot point. I'd love a few big boxes of various regular creatures for use in a large skirmish game or for use in regular D&D. How many times have we needed a couple of dozen skeletons, kobolds, or bandits for a fight in the RPG? I'd love to see a pack of like 12 models (3 x 4 poses or something) for many common critters; kobolds, human thugs, human warriors, goblins, orcs, etc. The possibilities are way out there. They are only little common crap models, so who knows if they would need to bag them or include individual cards (as the models would have identical stats). Therefore, 12 models should be able to run for about 5-7 bucks. I'd have buckets of those things!!!

I DM'd 4 games at Gencon.Sam said:Art, if you don't mind telling, why did the RPGA send you the stuff? (I'm wondering if I should start checking my mailbox every five minutes)
It was completly unexpected, but apparently it was all planned and stuff.
I just bought and opened 2 Harbringers. I GOT A FIRE ELEMENTAL! WOO!
