[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 1029998, member: 924"] No, I really think it is wonky, at least from a collectible game point of view as opposed to just buying them for use in RPGs (which is basically irelevent when it comes to either MK or the new D&D minis game). What drives sales of booster packs is the chance at getting a really really rare figure. It's basically gambling, or not far from it. By having only 3 levels, and with each pack definitely having a figure of the most rare level, this will not be much of a factor for the D&D mini game. Wizkids stuff generally has 1 unique per every 4-6 booster packs, though it depends on the set. There was one set that had super-rare figures (The 4 Horsemen, I think there were 16 of them, total, 4 of each type), and they ended up on ebay going for $1000 each. By having a flatter distribution curve, the "rare" figures will actually be fairly easy to get. This is not a good thing for a collectible game. [/QUOTE]
