DnD is *not* a collectable game.Put it this way: Would you expect, when buying a box of batteries, to buy a large box with a random assortment, and just hope that it has the 4  AAAs you need for your remote control?No, I would hope not. That's a closer analogy. The miniatures are not, yet, a game in and of themselves. *clix games are. The miniatures are just a tool to play the game. And as I don't want to buy random assortments of batteries, wrenches, or any other tool, I don't want to buy tons of random minis and hope I get what I need.Figure shipping in there, and that 1-1.50 cheap plastic miniature is right up there with a decent pewter one that is a lot higher quality, which I can just go pick up new at my FLGS, and get exactly what I want.</blockquote>
