I'm certainly not made of money, but I don't begrude a game company trying to provide a cool product for a cost.But even if Wizards offers randomized virtual boosters of 3D virtual mini's for a cost, if you don't want to pony up you'll still be able to use tokens and your existing 3D virtual minis on the D&D gametable just fine.  It's interesting, as this models the RW experience quite closely . . .</blockquote>
