[QUOTE="crazy_cat, post: 3377951, member: 30061"] I think you rather overestimate the impact of my personal buying decisions on the sucess or failure of Reapers new minis :) What I'm saying is my buying decision will be based on price and quality - and if they are more expensive than DDMs then I probably wont buy them. If you want to state it that simplistically as that backs your own pro Reaper and anti DDM opinions then YES, I do. :D I'd summarise it better as I buy 2 cases a set, because I can afford to as I have a good job and RPGs are a hobby on which I am happy to spend my money, and these 2 cases get me 192 minis - guaranteed to include 8 of each common (Orcs, Skeletons etc) and 2 or 3 each of each Uncommon, and 24 Rares - which I can keep or trade as I desire. Buying by the case I pay about $1.25 per mini on average (or less than £1.00) including shipping and handling. There are 3 sets released per year - so I get 180 new mini sculpts each year and many multiples of the ones I need in bulk. The random packaging isn't a plus point that sells them to me on its own merit, its a factor that contributes to the DDM range being cheap and offering me many minis. If Reaper can sell me minis for less than £1.00 each I'll be impressed - as the metal ones start (unpainted) at £2.50 here in the UK for a normal humanoid sculpt. Overall, the new Reaper line will suceed or fail based on the quality of the minis, the range available, the price they sell at, how widely they are distributed and actually available, what WOTC and competitor mini producers do, and ultimately how many of them WE (thats all of us gamers in general) actually buy. If I like them I'll buy them - but I have yet to be convinced. [/QUOTE]
