[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 7655295, member: 6777454"] I think the $25 mark is the one one has to look at when thinking about getting a decent miniature from this. If you go for the generic options or use it to create a character for which there is a few hundred variations of it on the market, it isn't worth it. On the other hand, if you dig a bit more into what is there? You can mix the Fantasy, Far Eastern, Modern and Western sets. You can take pieces from different sets and mix them together. This allow you to create a demi-human in samurai or ninja outfits, a fantasy character with a duster and cowboy hat and so forth. Although the list of races for fantasy are limited, you can easily put Gnome ears on the tallest of characters and use the fanged teeth to make a decent hobgoblin model (of which there are few on the market) and, of course, if a race is basically identical to another race but with different colored skin (Drow, Duegar), this allows you to make them just fine. So if you spend a bit of time with it and really put together something that there just isn't anything like it on the market (i.e. I can make a hobgoblin sorcerer/thief with a mix of western, monk and ninja outfit parts with a dao sword and a pistol) then suddenly the $25 mark doesn't seem bad at all to produce what is effectively a totally unique creation.
