WotC tried to go toe to toe with Reaper and GW and lost, so now they are hitting a market that is not as tried and true as others, the pre-painted minis market. "So now they're taking on Heroclix and MageKnight in a less tried market?  They're still trying to break into a market that may very well be saturated, and they're secondary "use for DnD games" idea may be soured by the random packaging.Look, if a secondary market develops, that means that people will be trading or buying/selling their figures.  And what does that mean?  Each figure will have a cost associated with it based on it's rarity and demand.  So goblins will be cheap, while mind flayers will be expensive.[sarcasm]Wait a minute.... that sounds familiar.  The common mass-produced ones will be cheap while the rarer ones will be more expensive.  Hey, isn't that what WotC said would happen if they packeged the miniatures seperately instead of in a big pack?[/sarcasm]So what's the point?  The point is to get us into the re-buying cycle.  Someone buys packs and packs of krenshars and pixies in the hope they get a mind flayer or dragon.  And they're trying to tell us it's good for us?</blockquote>
