Ddm 2.0
I think a big reason there's not a lot of interest is the fact that they're between versions. We don't have a printed rulebook or any real printed 2.0 cards yet. Like 4e, we're between the period where the last game is over but the new one hasn't yet begun.
I like a lot of the minis in DoD2 and I plan on likely buying a full set with 1 rare, 2 uncommon, and 4 commons. I did that for Desert of Desolation and I use them all the time.
I think my biggest DDM problem is that it is, by far, my greatest cost for D&D. I spend about $200 on a set every set which comes out about twice to three times a year. That's $600 a year on minis. I need to calm down...
Yet, with other sets, I found myself constantly going back and buying older ones over and over and getting railed on shipping every time. Rather than constantly hunt for a mini, I'd rather just own them all. I wish I could settle for non-rares but there are always rares that I really want.
I do have way too many minis but so what, its all for fun.
BTW, I like the Bugbear Headhunter. It's hideous but he'll scare the crap out of my players when I stick him on the table.
