[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3319147, member: 4134"] Those are the reasons why Wizards will not release non-random sets of miniatures, though. That would mean those who want humanoid enemies - not to mention representations for their own characters - would be screwed. I doubt that they would want that any other way. The problem is that if you do specific set themes, and tie most of the figures into that theme, you'll lose a lot of customers who aren't interested in that theme. "I don't play that eye of the lich queen adventure, why should I get boosters that only contain figures that appear there?" Wizards has to run with high protuction runs to be able the minis as cheaply as they're selling them now: Apparently, there's a lot of fixed costs involved, which they have to pay in full even when they only sell a portion of the boosters they used to sell. So they'd sell fewer boosters than before, and because of the higher costs per booster, would get less probit for each booster to boot. They would have to raise the price dramatically in order to keep them profitable. And that, of course, will drive away the customers in masses. [/QUOTE]
