And they're not the reason why Wizards won't make what you want. If you can't be bothered to read the previous posts in this topic and/or those in the topic linked above, I can't be bothered to repeat it.Ah, so you want Wizards to do a U-Turn and instead of supporting the local stores (with some practises I personally don't like) to tell them "go home and die?" Wizards is very friendly to local gaming stores. They do a lot of stuff that will get people into the stores. Those retailer kits are only one example. They won't do the exact opposite.And still pay 30+ quid for the Beholder. And 5 for that orc warrior. At this point, they have already shown how greedy they are by cutting out (and down) the brick and mortar stores, so they won't getting charitable on the end consumer. They know people pay 30 quid for a Beholder, so that's what they charge for it.Ha ha.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> Oh, you meant that seriously?What market? They have just abandoned that. They won'd do DDM twice. They'll do it one way or the other. If you want a figure now, you have to order it from Wizards - and pay a lot more than you did on the secondary market, especially with non-rare figures. Oh, and instead of the hundreds of minis there used to be, you only have a dozen or two, because the others weren't picked up by Wizards Direct Marketing (they weren't profitable). So you want some exotic thing like an Earth Genasi? You and maybe a thousand people, and that was not enough for Wizards to make that figure.You might get your wish with the current distribution method: It looks as if the Cube is too complex and expensive to put into boosters. They were looking at a way to make it work (making a simpler model), but since they have expanded the Icons to smaller figures, it's not unlikely that they will do it in all its splendour and sell it as an Icon.</blockquote>
