[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5443597, member: 18701"] They aren't pre-painted, they aren't even glued together are they? The problem isn't simply "minis". The problem is "pre-painted minis". Packaging and selling non random pre-painted minis is expensive. Which is why the few pre-painted minis Warhammer does have cost a lot. And if they were having great success with those, I'd imagine they'd be releasing way more than they do now. Maybe if the tokens don't do well and people still buy the board game for the unpainted minis, WotC might start releasing unpainted minis, and even doing them non random since they are not random in the boardgame. Because if it would have worked, why wouldn't WotC have done it? I mean hell, who doesn't [B]want[/B] to make money? They aren't making the boosters random because they think it is more fun. They do it to make a good enough profit that will allow them to keep selling minis. I'm not going to pretend like I know better than an industry specializing in making & selling toys.
