[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2852564, member: 7859"] Meet Reality? Come on I made a mistake on the minatures rarity. I'm not a collector, I use these things in play of D&D. To Error is to be human, to forgive is Divine. I forgive you for your rudeness :lol: (Actually just ribbing you, I could care less about the comment). I know Merric you are fond of the minatures and buy alot of them. I bought a case of the Underdark set and have one Loyal Earth Elemental. Yet, in that same case I received 2 Artemis figures. Random sorting and limited sample size pretty much means it comes down to a crap shoot for what you will get. I like the random sorting of the minatures in that I might get something that I otherwise would probably never use. The Warbound Impaler is a perfect example of that. MM3 monster, that given all of my monster books would probably never use, but I like the mini so much I will use it. I like the kid at Xmas aspect of the packages, unfortunately right now I feel like the presents are all too often socks and toothbrushes instead of new bikes and train sets. Buying rare minatures as seperates seems to expensive to me. I can buy pewter individuals for less than the plastic, and I can paint the pewter better then the plastic. A McFarland Dragons 2 figurene sells for $11.99 at the local Tower Records. Is $24.99 for a Brass Dragon alone worth it? Again, is it unreasonable to ask for WOTC to develop what many have called for from day one of the announcement of the plastic minature line, themed packages. You guys like it the way it is, and I am sure you will keep on buying. I am more of a peripheral buyer, but when I buy, I buy alot. At this point I'm not getting what I want, and think I am done buying. Assuming I am not alone, and given the plastic toy competion out there, the question becomes how much market share could WOTC [I]create[/I] by a little inovative thinking? What DM that uses minatures, or many players for that matter pass up an assortment of monsters from the Summon Spell list for $8.99? [/QUOTE]
