[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9616547, member: 11760"] As someone who's bought way too many World of Warcraft Collector's Editions/digital equivalents, the gold dragon mini is pretty weak in terms of FOMO. I can run around on my cool collectors edition mount in WoW -- and have -- and get immediate use out of it. I would need to put a gold dragon into a custom-built adventure to use the mini, which doesn't seem like something a lot of people would be doing, even if the Sigil building tools were a lot easier to use than they are. (How many gold dragons even appear in everyone's games? Maybe they're out there in the game world, but in actual adventures, I suspect they're pretty rare, as they're the high level wizard NPC problem times 1,000: "Why doesn't this adult gold dragon just defeat the invading army instead of a ragtag band of six idiots?") If they wanted to fire up the FOMO, giving some exclusive building tiles that people would want to use all the time -- maybe the 1E AD&D PHB statue, for instance, or various doors or dungeon floor tiles -- would have been the way to do it. Everyone worried about WotC wanting to do lots of microtransactions should rest easier knowing that they don't seem to be very good at it. [/QUOTE]
