[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2990437, member: 7883"] Although I asked about the possibility that maybe this is the way they might take things, I hope I didn't give the impression that I'm *happy* about that direction *if* that's the way they take things. It'll personally end my support as a customer for their company. I picked up a few of the minis at the beginning when all the broo-hah hah came out. I've got a few packs of Angelfire, a basic set, and underdark, and maybe one others. Really, when it comes down to it, I need them to indicate positioning on a grid. It doesn't really matter (to me) whether or not they exactly match the monster I'm using in the encounter. The whole randomized aspect really ticked me off, and became pretty evident as a blatant cash grab....not that it's against the law. Hey some people like that kind of thing. But I stopped the whole "collecting random hockey cards" thing when I was about 13, and at 31, have no interest in doing that anymore. I'd just prefer well thought out, functional, *complete* rulebooks and adventures. The minis themselves are actually edition independent, so I could likely use them into 10th edition. Hopefully the whole thing was just a bad rumour. As a final note, just to avoid ruffling any feathers, by saying that at 31 I'm not interested in collectible cards like I was at 13, I do not mean to imply that other gamers who are adults are silly for doing so. I understand that everyone has their preferences...I just don't like it on a personal level. Banshee [/QUOTE]
