3 sets a year is perfect.

There isn't some huge lull in the middle where everyone gets sick of playing the same stuff.

Its easy enough to complete a set out of 2 cases and trading or 3 cases.

With huge sets I buy 3 cases, its pretty cheap and you can make back half of what you spent off of the stuff you won't ever play and the extra commons and uncommons

With regular sets its even better.

I think a better topic for this thread would be:
"Who left the WotC forums to come here so that they could avoid threads like this?"

DDM has been releasing 3 sets a years virtually since Harbinger came out in 2003. But they've only had 2 huge sets. Their product is priced the same as SWM. I would prefer it to be cheaper, too; but SWM is virtually the definition of "luxury item." If you can't afford a Porsche, don't whine about it; just be happy driving your Hyundai. However, I too, have bigger issues with the value of my product; i.e. rules, faction support, maps, etc.

I've never been a completist collector so I don't find it too much of a financial burden, even with huge sets. I don't usually complete the new set, and I often sell a bunch of my older figures (the ones that have been largely outclassed, or that don't fit my play style) when a new set is released, so the dollar value of my personal collection never gets completely out of hand. And if I ever regret having sold off a piece, it's easy enough to buy it again.

Since A&E I've been buying just singles - no boosters or cases.

I think threads like this come around as people spend their money buying a new set and look how many are coming out... I dont really see it as a complaint but more of a stressed out panic attack as they love SWM and know it wont be long till they are shelling out more money for the next set........ But even if you can afford a Porshce you may not want one....


I disagree. It is complaining about something over which they have complete control. I know: I complain all the time ;) If they're complaining about how expensive gas is, or food is, or health care, that's one thing; but no one (to my knowledge) is holding a gun to their head and telling them that they have to buy little plastic men. I have big issues with over-developed senses of entitlement: "I want them, hence I am entitled to have them, whether I can afford them or not!"

Maybe so, but you'll never get away from threads like these.

The reason I'm here is that I can't stand all the kids on the other boards and those new Wizos, ugghh!

That doesnt mean you cant criticize them however. If you think its a stupid thread, you have every right to say so (within reason of course).

However, it would be smart for people to recognize that WotC does not read anything over here. So the "purpose" of making a complaint thread here to me is lacking. The best you can say for it is that it makes you feel better...

Well, I choose not to post threads to help my emotions. If you want to make a legitimate complaint - WotC is the place to do it. Doing it over here is in fact silly (word chosen because it offends people apparently).

You dissin' my Hyundai? :p



I call it the Red Dwarf... it has a bumper sticker "Australia: Love It or Leave It". Nobody gets the irony of my driving that bumper sticker around Malaysia.



Back on topic: I made the mistake of walking into a games shop today, after talking to the shopkeeper for a bit I felt obliged to buy something, so another loose FU booster. I told myself I'd wait for my delivery to arrive, I have no self control. Junk Golem and PROXY. Ugh. At least the mini has the common courtesy to refer to itself as junk. It's not that I hate Huge sets, or that I can't afford it (Star Wars minis is the one luxury I do splurge that bit too much on), it's that I hate the feeling of paying so much for Huge booster and pulling crap.

Never heard of those places, they must be long gone now!

Which international school, ISKL in Ampang? Not too familiar with that part of town, I was living in Petaling Jaya (other side of KL). If you haven't been back there for a while you'd be amazed at the development in west KL, it's changed so much even in the time I've been there. You really could be in any city in the developed world now.

Yeah, sometimes it is a small world... then I realise I'm a 13 hour flight away from the rest of my family and most of my friends, and a 21 hour flight away from my hometown which I haven't been to in years. So it's still a fairly big freakin' world :)

I like how WOTC are making 3 sets this year, now there isn't a huge lull between sets. All I can afford is one case and to get a few singles figs per set. Though now that Christmas is coming up maybe I'll be able to get a few extra figs that I need.

I admit it's not cheap. But, I like the pace at about every 4-5 months.

I think the Wizos are releasing the perfect amount of sets. 2-4 sets a year keeps the game interesting and new.

Personally, I would like to see the following:


1- new set each year
1- huge set each year
1- Star Wars Starships set each year
1- reprinted set each year.

that works out to be 4 sets per year, with 2 new sets and 1 new starships set. That would be one set every 4 months.

The re-release would help with collectability.
