[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 3378356, member: 18093"] So, you get cases for how much exactly? You pay ~$200 for 8 orcs, plus 59 other sculpts you can trade around? Let's say a DM is going to run Sons of Grummsh, an orc filled dungeon in which they actually suggest individual DDMs for the orcs found therein. What do you think MOST people would rather do, go buy 2 cases of each set to get enough orcs of the right type to use, or go buy 1-2 of Reaper's orc set? Do you honestly think that people who buy cases of each DDM release are really their target audience? I think that 8 prepainted, good plastic sculpts of an orc warband for example priced at $20 is just about right. But I do agree that the price and quality of the sculpts/paintjobs is key, but isn't that obvious? If it were $50 for 5 figs that are the same and all look horrid is not going to sell as well as $10 for 10 figs each in different sculpts with excellent paintjobs. I certainly don't think they are aiming for A) people who are already good at painting their metal minis line, nor B) people who play DDM skirmish, nor C) people who are willing to buy so many boosters/cases of DDMs that they don't have any complaints about the random distribution model. I'm guessing this will be a big enough market to make it work, given the fact that Reaper has a solid lineage of quality sculpts in a wide variety of types at prices that are still cheaper than, say, GW. I for one am very excited by this prospect, despite the fact that I can paint pretty decently and I do own lots of DDMs already. [/QUOTE]
