The organized skirmish game accounts for a lower % of booster sales than people who use them for RPG. Not sure how they get their info, but I'll trust them on it. If you look at the trend in secondary market prices, this is largely supported. Monsters generally command much higher prices than humanoids, even if the humanoids have a higher value in the skirmish scene. Yeah, the warmachine section at my store is a lot smaller than the GW or Reaper (which are spawling messes that are impossible to find anything). Consider how many figures come out each year for DDM (180) and the space it would require to maintain that much. I'd guess if it did go to non-random model, the line would shrink considerably.I think what they are feeling out is a VERY limited non-random packs. Like 3-4 per year, with a tight focus on mass appeal. Drizzt is as good as sold the moment they announced it. I'd guess they woudl expect similar results from anything else produced. I wouldnt expect the way most minis reach stores to change any time soon.</blockquote>
