[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 4111185, member: 15538"] Really, the whole randomized thing is what's killing the line as a D&D product. When I open a package, i'm excited if I'm happy to have even two of the figures. Between monsters I don't like, orc sculpts that are uglier than last year's orc sculpts, and of course "fire archons," I'm kind of done. Imagine, though, if they offered a Stormwreck pre-paint set, that came with a couple of those orca people, some pirates, etc., and they were really nice sculpts. I'd be all over that. Or if there were a Drow mini-pack, sparing the rest of the world from having random Drow in every set, but never quite enough to make you say, "Heck, I have all these Drow, might as well use them." Honestly, I really miss the old A&D minis. They were kind of goony, some of them, but they were there. If you bought magic-users and illusionists, by god, you had all the magic-users and illusionists you would need for a while. As an expansion to the idea, what if every Monster Manual came with some basic flats (cardboard) for the new monsters? [/QUOTE]
