..."window.parent.tinyMCE.get('post_content').onLoad.dispatch();" contenteditable="true" />I've never been able to figure out why WotC doesn't do more licensing of quality products. It seems like Hasbro/WotC wants to keep everything in house, which I assume is about maintaining profit margins. If it did more licensing they'd make less money but they'd also expose themselves to less financial risk. This makes sense for risky ventures like miniatures which have proven to be a volatile market.
Indeed. Now is not really the time to get into manufacturing minis. 5 years from now we will just print them off at home.

To answer a question posted earlier, most modern metal minis are a tin alloy.
As for Grenadier, the late models (90s) were actually pretty good.
I prefer 2nd Edition AD&D. But I have played basic, 1E, 2E, 3.5, & 4E, and found all to be fun.
IF IT'S D&D, I'LL PLAY IT, NO MATTER THE EDITION.
Just roll some dice.

As posted earlier, Dungeon Command can be purchased for about $26 online - $2.16 a mini. You are complaining about purchasing "Extra game stuff" with it? well, the tiles are also useful as maps, you know the mini's you are getting and it really isn't cost prohibitive. I own 4 of the Dungeon Command sets and have the 5th on order. I think it is an awesome way to get mini's and the actual game good also for a change up at times. The faction packs definetly help with themed encounters and Quests.

That's what we (correctly, to some degree) said about books when home printers became commonplace several decades ago.

No. There are no official words/rumors of any new mini's coming out from WotC (but there is a decent amount of D&D mini related stuff coming out from other manufacturers)

Except with the exception of one or two really expensive reference books its never been cheaper to print a book at home. However the current state of 3D Printers and the general cost of quality minatures does mean printing at home will be an option. We are only 5-10 years away from high definition 3D printing in the sub £1000 range.

I'm still hoping that WotC & Iron Wind Metals can come to some sort of agreement to allow IWM to sell the Ral Partha AD&D minis again. IMO these were by far the best ones made.
