[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6652405, member: 37579"] Some years have 12 books, some have 10, and some have 9. Plus the occasional accessory, mini set, tiles, and setting book. It varied from year to year. Going with the most prolific year in recent memory to make a case that 10 products isn't that much is a pretty weak argument. And doesn't prove me wrong.
