[QUOTE="JustKim, post: 3367676, member: 5478"] Of course they produce more commons than rares. Do you really believe the frequency of a figure is imaginary? There's only one rare in a pack (excluding huge packs), and only one of a given rare in a case. When you buy a case, you're almost guaranteed four of every common and two of every uncommon. You will never find more than one of a rare. So what reason do they have not to produce lots of the rares? Rares are typically more detailed sculpts, painted in more steps, and often in more pieces than commons or uncommons. They are more expensive to produce. They're the kind of miniature you should expect to pay $10-$20 for unpainted, unassembled, unmounted. I don't think you understand the miniatures economy as well as you believe. The cards are certainly not what forces the price and distribution of DDM. [/QUOTE]
