Yes, they look good for mass-produced minis.  But, it is another marketing
ploy to make money.  I don't like the random packs.  Why can they sell the
full line in something like four separate boxes?  Because they want us to be
scrambling, buying extra packs just to get the rare minis.  I will wait
until I can pick up extras for dirt cheap in "Misc." boxes at conventions.
At least then I will get exactly what I want.

By the way, my plan, should it ever come to fruition, is to release
DragonRaid miniatures in boxed sets as when D&D minis first came out.
Plastic or metal, I don't know.  Dark Creatures first, since decent
LightRaider minis can be obtained easily now.
