[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3633284, member: 48965"] Well part of the appeal is convenience...I have to search on ebay to find the best price for some of these Rares and even Uncommons, then(unless I buy a boatload at one time) I also have to factor in shipping costs. With the Reaper line I can call my gamestore, have them order and hold exactly what I want, and pick it up within a week. And I'm sorry but mosty rares are equal or above Reaper's prices for their large figures. I also think it's unfair to compare Reaper's "lack of variety" to what WotC has out now...wouldn't it be a more fair comparison to give them just as much time as WotC has had and then see what type of variety they have? I think if the line becomes profitable, we will definitely see a wider variety and faster production schedule, however it's a new venture and it would be foolish of Reaper to toss a ton of minis out there without testing the market first. I personally think if Reaper goes for those figures that are "Rares" or haven't had a model produced by WotC yet and are in demand, they could capture a pretty good market for their minis. Keep up with the higher level of sculpts and paints and they just might be able to carve a profitable niche out. [/QUOTE]
