You could get cheap, but both will probably not work, at least not from wizards themselves: Going away from boosters to anything more predictable in the type of figure you get will mean that they suddenly have many more products, which means that they have more of a hassle with it, which will increase their costs and hence, the price we have to pay. In addition, it will force the shops to track dozens of products instead of just a couple. This will probably mean that some shops will not have sell them.Too, this will lessen the sales for wizards, as there's no more overhead (you buy what you want, and nothing more. Doesn't work with boosters). To compensate, prices would go up.Hey, I got three cases of underdark minis, and each had a Large Deep Dragon. I think that's all I need for now. I think we can safely assume that more dragons will come with each set - they're just too popular for wizards not to give us any, and we still have plenty of draconic options. In fact, they already said that in future sets, the Dragons will be more aggressively costed.It's actually three:Halfling Outrider (Halfling on a Riding Dog, all in all medium)Mounted Paladin (Human on Horse, all in all large)Mounted Drow Patrol (Drow on Riding Lizard, all in all large)I'm sure more will show up over time. Each of the last two sets had a mounted figure, and maybe the trend will continue (maybe we get more)The faster you forget that notion, the less it will hurt. It would be nice, sure, but it won't happen. Mounted figures are too complex to be uncommons. We might at one point get some simple cavalry type mounted figure that's uncommon, but they would be very simple in sculpt and paint job.A mounted common figure is right out. Though they have not officially announced another huge set, it can be safely assumed that there will be another, maybe even next year (right now people are speculating whether it will be the set right after Wardrums - that would mean it would arrive in July - or the one after that - to be released in November). The hunched giant has an ability that gives him bonuses against huge figures, and in the previews it was insinuated that his usefulness would increase in the future. There's also all that talk about the Aspect of Tiamat.Dragon has some DDM support, and I doubt that we'll see more. Dragon 337, for example, has a DDM map, and later issues will have maps, too.See the Miniatures Handbook for most of that - except paint jobs, since painting those figures isn't really part of the game. Anyway, converting/creating/customizing DDM units is a tricky business, and they coulnd't give you more than pointers. Basically, you'd have to do extensive playtesting for that.</blockquote>
