It's a sucker's game. But selling to them is part of a historically working business model.  Random packaging was also a way to have a wider variety of minis. Not every mini was one that every person loved, but every person loved minis, often ones hated by others.  I certainly would love to have more Genasi, some Devas and Shardminds, for example. Yes, I would be buying them, as I'll also be buying the new set most likely. I liked the PC minis for skirmish as well as the RPG, so they were great.  But I wasn't the issue. Their issue, besides numerous internal problems and saturation, were whiny, fickle, RPG-only people who want exactly what they want, dirt cheap. Too many have/had unrealistic expectations of the line. Merric's Laws of Minis is a great example, but too many demanded all three, which isn't a viable business model.  The goal is to leverage all three markets properly, but they couldn't do it in this market.</blockquote>
