Wizards' minis do have an advantage there, since you can sell that stuff on a single small shelf. Foot in the door right there. A big line of non-random PPM might prove problematic - that needs a lot of space, expansion is often not an option, so what will have to make way?Sure, if the stuff does sell, it can get the space, but it's not a trivial matter.Yes, a lot is filler, but a much bigger lot is not. And not everyone thinks like you. A lot of people are happy that they can get exotic D&D characters/critters as minis. Stuff not so many people would buy if it were all non-random. And since plastic minis need to be sold in huge numbers, those exotics wouldn't be made, as they just wouldn't be profitable enough. People who like these figures will prefer Wizards' current scheme.That's what I'm saying. And unless they've been lying about a lot more things than we thought, variety is better served with Wizards' current scheme. Several people who seem to know what they're talking about have commented on the fact that plastic miniature production has very high fixed costs, so in order to be profitable, they have to sell a lot. That means that you either don't let the customer choose what exactly they buy, or you limit yourself to figures you know will sell a lot.I do think variety is good. I think Wizards' line should stay. I also wish Reaper luck with this new endeavour, and that they'll become a serious challenge to Wizards' line, since this will force them to be more competitive. Competition is always good.I tried it for the first time now. The set should ship this week, and should be there the next (or maybe even this week, if everything works out perfectly). I paid not much more for those two perfect cases than I would pay for two regular ones around here.</blockquote>
