[QUOTE="smetzger, post: 1777751, member: 1230"] That has not been my experience. Every single Rare that I have acquired has cost me less than $7 with S&H, including my 2 Displacer Beasts, Ogre, King Snurre and Large Red Dragon. That being said the Commons and Uncommons are a much cheaper. If you are of limited budget I would highly recommend just buying individual Commons and Uncommons online and make believe the Rares just don't exist. You will get decent pre-painted minis at a good price. If you buy a booster or two chances are you will be disapointed due to the random distribution. It would be interesting to run the math and see when its more beneficial to buy boosters over singles. Most likely its more beneficial to buy boosters when you want a decent number of Uncommons and Commons and you want at least 8 of the Rares in the set and you have the money for the boosters. *:> Scott [/QUOTE]
