What, you think the girl from The Bachelorette actually cares about KFC's new boneless chicken wings?Second, every player of D&D Miniatures will use and find value in every figure from a D&D Miniatures pack. Every one. I suspect you're still looking at this from the POV of a D&D RPG player. Get it straight: THEY ARE DIFFERENT GAMES!Complaining that the packaging of figures for D&D Miniatures isn't perfect for players of D&D RPG is just as silly as complaining that the packaging of Axis & Allies figures isn't perfect for players of Squad Leader. Remember: D&D Miniatures is not D&D RPG.I made a big snip after your second point, since just about everyone (except you, it seems) knows that dollar stores sell closeout and liquidated items that were sold to the dollar store *well below cost*. And your assumptions were pulled out of thin air. Anyway... no, WotC is not vastly overcharging for figs.Compare to the cost of a comparable product: Mage Knight Dungeons starter (8 figs): $20Mage Knight Dungeons booster (4 figs): $10D&D Miniatures starter (16 figs): $20D&D Miniatures booster (8 figs): $10Hmm... now, what were you saying about overcharging?  That's nice. For you, the new D&D Miniatures game and it's figures have zero impact. You'll continue buying unpainted unassembled pewter miniatures one at a time. Me, I want to buy prepainted plastic minis for the new D&D Miniatures game. And, yes, I want to use those figures in my D&D RPG game. I've got about 10 pounds of unpainted lead as is; I can't wait to able to box of figs and be able to use them the second they fall out of the box. -z, falling for a troll's lure. I mean, the guy's post count was 1. What was I thinking?</blockquote>
