Message: <blockquote data-quote="mmu1" data-source="post: 927662" data-attributes="member: 319">What DM wants to spend $80 bucks on 10 expansion packs, and get 10 "rares" (which will most likely contain one or two doubles), 20 "uncommons" and 50 "commons"? I can see having use for 10 "rares" and 20 "uncommons", but who needs 50 minis worth of "fodder", especially since no one is going to want to buy or trade them? Did you ever run a game in which you really needed a dozen orcs, a dozen goblins, a dozen kobolds, etc?  The point is that this is a scheme to get the gullible to, effectively, pay $10 bucks for single "rare" figures by convincing them they're getting a good deal for getting 1 figure they want and 7 they don't need for $1.25 a piece.  It's how it works with every other "collectible" game.I buy identifiable monsters (illlithids, mummies, vampires, drow, etc.) orc/gnoll/bugbrar chieftains and spellcasters, figures I can use for memorable NPCs, etc - over the years, I've accumulated more "fodder" minis then I'll ever use, and I don't want any more.Not to mention that these things don't look halway as good as unpainted Reaper minis...If they're re-sold individually, I'll probably pick up a few typically D&D monsters you can't get elsewhere beause of trademark issues, but that's going to be it...</blockquote>
