Unless, of course, the perfect mini for their character is part of the random package. But you can still run into that problem in the current mini market, and without there being these (as-yet undeclared) random assortment packs...WotC has their boxed sets of miniatures, and if you only want one figure from that, whataya gonna do? GW does the same thing to some extent.As a suggestion for dealing with this hypothetical "problem" of random assortments of figures... If every member of a gaming group chipped in a few dollars/pounds/francs/marks, they could amass quite a collection of the things pretty quickly (and on the cheap - from an individual standpoint). Then you get the mythical individual figure you're looking for.Still, this is all idle doom and gloom speculation wihtout any proof that that's the way it's going to be done. I'm ready to eat some crow on that (got the salt shaker ready) and admit I was wrong, because I wouldn't be at all surprised if that IS the way these things are packaged and marketed.</blockquote>
