Okay, maybe not twice as much, but there's no chance such packs would be sold for the same price the general boosters are sold now.So you want DDMM and DDMC (monsters/characters). Some people won't buy the DDMC packs at all. Some will only buy a handful. Many will buy monster packs, but it will be a lot less monster packs than old DDM boosters. Even DDMM and DDMC taken together will not nearly be as much as DDM sold today. So for wizards to make the same profit, they'll have to charge more. Are you willing to pay 20 quid for a DDM pack if it is guaranteed to contain no humanoids?We don't miss that point. We just think that this is your problem.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Seriously, if I have to choose between a distribution scheme where those people who are afraid of or even just dislike the secondary market don't get their minis and a scheme where no one gets anything, I'll choose the former and send people to counselling.I repeat: If they switch to a non-random distribution, the options will become exceedingly limited, the prices will skyrocket, and it's not unlikely that the whole product line will tank.Exactly: It's not a great comparison. In fact, it's apples and oranges. It ignores that the video game industry is larger than the RPG industry by several orders of magnitude (meaning that while video game stores can afford to put aside whole walls for video games, those stores that sell DDM can't put aside a whole wall for it), it ignores legal fine print like recommended age, it ignores the fact that it's comparing a bunch of products for less than 2 quid each with something that costs 50 quid, and probably a couple things more.</blockquote>
