[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 779062, member: 4545"] It would take less space than I think you realize. A fancy pants kind of establishment might bother to organize them into mini cases or glass counter displays (not any game store I've ever been to mind you) but how much room does a box take? Chuck the minis in and let the folks dig them out. I don't envision tidy rows of pretty minis in little shiny plastic cases like your dice come in, so I don't see space as a big issue. Also, keep in mind there are many online retailers out there that would love to cater to you. Check out ebay or some other auction site for really nice deals. It's really not a big deal to buy on ebay, I do it myself and I am no genius. If I can do it, anyone can. All you need is a paypal account which means all you need is a checking account or credit card. A lot of sellers accept personal checks or money orders. I think this could be great for the hobby. Loads of common type minis for low prices ready for play right from the get go. For those that hate painting, it's a huge benefit to snag a few commons and a rare/unique mini for a PC. And for those that like to paint, there are still other mini makers out there. For those that want to buy easy to use, cheap prepainted plastic minis rather than painting 25 orcs but want to still paint their special characters it works too. Oh, one more thing. I know a lot of Mage Knight or Heroclix players that order them a case at a time. Go in with friends, split the cost and they can be group minis. [/QUOTE]
