[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3636869, member: 4134"] That's the point. If I were in that situation (seeing other stores like mine disappearing like people in horror movies), I wouldn't embrace a product that could very well be a slow mover. I wouldn't want to bind my capital into merchandize I'm not sure I can sell in a reasonable amount of time. Yeah, but how much space does that take? The shops I have seen haven't devoted that much space to Wizards of the Coast books. Neither do they have to. The shelf space taken up by one miniatures product line (not DDM) was significantly larger than the space Wizards books took up. Plus, remember that Wizards doesn't do small works. They don't do books like "The Book of Enchantment Magic", they do a book about all magic. They aim for books that sell in large numbers (not that they always succeed, at least not for their definition of success). Those books aren't usually slow movers. Now take that any line of non-random miniatures. The more variety there is, the more likely it is for some figures to be exotic, to be stuff few people want. If you buy these, chances are that they will be there for quite some time. They use shop space but don't generate any revenue. Take a loot at some Wizards figures. Do you think you would sell a lot of Wrackspawns? Dromite Wilders? Tosquasomething Psimonsters (those rare critters from Unhallowed that look like a monster shrimp, whatever their name is)? Kobold Trapmakers? Prisoners? I don't think so, especially because there would be fewer collectors around if the game weren't collectable. And the same goes for similar critters from other miniature lines. The same will go for Reaper's line. As I'm collecting anyway, I'll just go get it out of my vitrine when I need it. Other people will go and get it on eBay. No concern. Just an answer for those who wish that Wizard's line will disappear. I'm belittling Reaper's line how? [/QUOTE]
