[QUOTE="Colmarr, post: 4085472, member: 59182"] I am [B]exactly[/B] the same. You and I should be the easiest sell that WotC will ever face, and I think it is telling that we both have serious reservations. I would be willing to purchase V-minis if the conditions were right. Specifically: 1. There should be a default selection of minis that are automatically available with your subscription or pay-per-use authorisation. I originally wanted that to be "the monsters in the monster manual" but now that I know there are 500+ of them, I retract that. I want 1 representative mini for every "iconic" monster. I don't need a Rust Monster or a Kolyarut because they're just not frequent enough to justify their inclusion, but if there isn't a "free" default orc, skeleton, zombie and goblin mini, I'll be mightily unimpressed. 2. The minis should be purchased individually, not bundled. I don't want to buy a virtual something unless I know I need it. No buying a carrion crawler for an upcoming heroic tier adventure and wondering what to do with the Fiendish T-rex. 3. Purchasing a mini should provide you with unlimited uses of that mini. I'm not going to pay 5 times for 5 uses of the same data (which is all a v-mini is). It doesn't cost WotC extra so I'm not going to pay extra. 4. The minis need to be "persistent". If I let my subscription lapse for 6 months for whatever reason, they better be there waiting for me when I come back. 5. Cost is crucial. V-minis can't be taken with me. They can't be printed off. They can't be given to a friend if I (God forbid) quit D&D. As such, they better be relatively cheap. Assuming all of the above conditions are met, I'd probably pay $1 or $2 per mini for the "commons" such as variant goblinoids and orcs (archers, spearmen etc). WotC will "sell" hordes of these. For the rarer stuff, I'd probably pay up to $5 (say a Pit Fiend or Mind Flayer) or even $10 in exceptional cases (Colossal Red Dragons). My A$0.02 [/QUOTE]
