[QUOTE="erc1971, post: 2906425, member: 40408"] It is possible something similar was done recently - if so, I apologize. What are everyone's opinions on randomized mini's, and is WotC hurting thier own profit by making them "collectible" IMO: Randomized mini's are the spawn of Satan and concept should be hunted down and abolished with the ferver of a rabid wolverine who has not eaten in weeks. And, I do feel WotC is hurting thier bottom line with them being collectible. In our group of 4 - two people don't even bother, due to the rares costing to much. The other two of us who collect pop $50 on ebay for those ****ing, ****ing, ****ing out of print rares instead of spending that $50 on new products that directly profits WotC - in fact, someone else most likely bought a pack from WotC for a measly $10 - and they are earning the extra $40, not WotC. In the end - 90% of the money I spend on mini's goes to profit someone on ebay, and keeps anyone from having a Bill Gates like fortune from getting them all (the 1 guy in our group who has all the mini's make a boatload of money). On top of that, I get frustrated, because if these things were not collectable, the amount of money I have spent would have garnered a complete set of all mini's, and I could start buying multiples of cool ones. You have no idea how much it fracks me off that the Stone Golem is a rare - I would buy like 20 of those things - awesome for statues on the battlemap. Yeah, I know some of the inspiration for this threat is coming from my personal frustration - but others have to be feeling the same thing I am, and how can people spending all thier money on Ebay not be hurting WotC?
