4~6 dollars on a single plastic mini? Pass.
When I first read this I thought maybe it was a bit harsh. Then I learned about the random thing, and now I actually agree.
$1 isn't too much to use while gambling. $4 is too much.
Think about it this way, I might blow my Jimmy Johns budget on mini's instead. I could buy three boxes, open them, and get three of the same 'mining dwarf' or some such. Now in a collectible game, this might make sense. Maybe I'm stacking an army or something. In an RPG, however, this is awkward. Am I planning adventures involving three of the same dwarf? Probably not...
Maybe for $1, but not for $4.
Or to take one more crack at it, I look to my son's Pokemon cards. Those boosters are also $4. But they have more than just one card in them. Sometimes they're all junk, but there's a lot of variety in there, too.
