Certainly WOTC would love these to have a turn-key effect and bring a lot of younger people into D&D and I wouldn't be offended if they did push some marketing of them toward that crowd.I was a little taken aback at first by the random element until I thought about the commonality and rarity of different creatures in use during play. Also keep in mind that nothing is stopping retailers from opening up the cases to sell singles and customers should encourage that by talking about it and then buying some once they do.Unfortunately I wasn't among the need to know folks, when I was in the industry, concerning the "sabotage" so feel free to email me (tortoise@comcast.net) and fill me in on the sordid details.If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a changing of the guard among the folks responsible for miniatures before this new project got going? If so these aren't likely the guilty parties.Jim</blockquote>
