[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 4660752, member: 5122"] First, interest in the skirmish game may have been dying, but it was definitely helped along in its demise by WotC. Second, quality of the minis was way, [I]way[/I] down. After a minor rebellion a few sets back, there was an uptick in quality for a single set, then another sharp decline (which, IMO, continued through the last set). You can call it chicken-and-the-egg if you like, but I collected multiple cases of the first 14 sets, and didn't bother to even collect all of the models in each set after that. And "lack of quality" was why. Those two things are very far from mutually exclusive. Personally, I think "greed" is a bad word. Someone else used "cynical," which I think is closer. I believe that WotC has become dishonest in its marketing over the last couple of years. WotC used to be the White Knight of gaming, so the change, while arguably inevitable, makes me a little sad.
