[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5443092, member: 6667746"] Nope not alone, and I actually did play DDM but only booster drafts. Of course the price to buy them was cheaper than just making a purchase of the same amount of product, plus I DID get to pick and choose which minis I wanted for the most part. Wasn't shy about taking RPG related rares or commons either. Might have not done well with a "constructed army" or whatever from the booster draft, but got good minis for RPGs. If not for that, and knowing case allocation, wouldn't ahve bought any. When you know the assortment in a case, you pretty much ARE buying non-random minis, because you know the frequency of the minis, and could buy the cases to get exactly what you wanted. That is how many RPG users I knew did it. Then filled out RPG needs with trades with the skirmish players. Things that aren't needed for RPG, but people go gaga over for the skirmish game were easy to get MANY assorted minis for some useless rare. But again when you got what you need, no point in buying more, so case sales drop fast when nothing decent enough is in them to make people want to buy a case anymore, and the skirmish players weren't enough to keep it afloat. I also think the game was on its 4th version with 4th edition of D&D also wasn't it? So the skirmish never was that stable and also helped kill it off. [/QUOTE]
