I got the LE Reaper prices directly from the Reaper website. I find the simple miniatures from the LE line a tad expensive, the uncommon/rare (to coin DDM terms) reasonable. It's a shame those LE are hard to get here in Europe and when I can get them the price is even higher due to shipping or taxes/import fees. If WizKids can get this kind of quality against their regular prices, I'm all for Wizkids.I also see no reason why Reaper can't continue to do metals. First of, they serve a whole different crowd. If Rackham is any indication, going exclusively pre-painted and killing of the metal will loose you a ton of customers. I also don't expect that Wizkids will release on a high pace, so Reaper has all the possibility to keep ahead of the pre-painted plastic curve with their metals. More choice is always good for the consumer.As for DDM (and SWM), the later sets provided me with reasonably balanced collections when I bought six cases, cost me $1.5 per miniature, whether that was a common creature or a Rare creature. Sure it cost a lot of money to buy those six cases, but you build up your collection quite quickly.</blockquote>
