[QUOTE="JustKim, post: 3428559, member: 5478"] We're not talking about the same thread here. I'm talking about the one where WotC's reasons for random distribution are given. And if you're talking about the one I think you are, the thread was started to discuss an open call on the WotC board for what people would like to see in Iconics sets. Anyone who says "that's impossible, WotC can't do that" first has to ignore where they are saying "we're doing it, and want your ideas". Alright. Sorcerer on black dragon ($15): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/38742[/url] Aspect of Bahamut ($19): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/38715[/url] Bearded devil ($11): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/46362[/url] Ice devil ($17): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/56863[/url] Pit fiend ($24): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/56859[/url] Beholder lich ($28): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/82607[/url] Chimera ($25): [url]http://miniaturemarket.com/inc/sdetail/46556[/url] Granted, you are probably not going to find Deathknell's beholder or Giants of Legend's huge red dragon for less than $50. I don't think it's dishonest because I'm speaking from personal experience. I have a huge collection of DDM that I've spent about $1,000 on. This represents hundreds of figures that would've taken an immeasurable amount of time to paint. I also tried a bit of miniature painting, and getting started with paints, brushes, and dozens of inobvious other supplies has run me about $300. I do not have anywhere near a hundred figures to show for all this. So while the supplies may not need replacing often, it would take a [i]huge[/i] investment of time to break even with the value of DDM figures. I was talking about the unpainted metal minis, not the plastic painted ones. [/QUOTE]
