[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1425605, member: 3586"] Because it's not feasible. Any product sells best when it is first released. (Well, most do. ;)) After a while, sales taper off dramatically, and it just sits there, eating up shelf space in your FLGS. Shelf space is valuable. That space spent showing those [i]Harbinger[/i] boosters that only a few people want would be more profitably used displaying [i]Archfiends[/i] boosters. A major selling point of these miniatures is that they don't use up much shelf space. Think about how much space Games Workshop require for a decent number of minis!
