[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3632144, member: 4134"] Trying to get full sets by just buying cases is virtually hopeless. If you're lucky, you'll get a full set after three cases (or even two if you get a perfect distribution). But it is just as possible that you buy 5 cases and still miss some rares. There's several ways to go about this: You either buy 2-3 cases and get the missing rares on the secondary market (or by trading), or you just go to ebay and get a full set. You can get a set of 60 (one of each) or one with extra commons and uncommons. For night below, I just got a deal with 1 of each Rare, 3 of each Uncommon and 8 of each Common (just like two cases with perfect distribution). If you only need a few minis, cases aren't for you. Get those minis you want. Ebay provides. And Reaper's new line was also mentioned here. That's fine if you have the talent as well as the time. I enjoy painting minis occasionally, and they look passable, but I don't have the time to paint dozens of them, and I don't really want to paint that many. Probably along the lines of "we want more money". Note that you can usually get them for less than that. In fact, if you buy by the case, you can get current minis for significantly less than the original price. Iconusa, for example, sells night below packs for $9.49. And if you buy 36 boosters, each will cost $8.49. And that isn't necessarily the best deal out there, just the first U.S. shop I remembered. [/QUOTE]
