Please forgive my questions if they are answered somewhere or if they are obvious to normal people. :) My search-fu is weak, and I am UI / layout - challenged. Oh and all of my questions are about the WizKids minis, because I dont have the free time to paint my own minis.
Can I order bricks of miniatures individually, or do I have to buy a subscription?
What exactly does a subscription entail? I found the splash page about it confusing, but I am easily confused. :)
Is the plan, going forward, to make bricks of painted minis for most of the adventure paths as they come out? Will WizKids ever do figures from older adventure paths?
Are there certain core mini sets that are always going to be kept available?
How do the special sets (such as the undead battles set on the home page currently) fit into the product line? I couldnt figure out where to find other such "non-core, non-adventure path" sets compiled into one place. Do they expire after supplies are sold or will there always be (slow, occasional) future availability?
I see individual figures listed for a higher price. I am assuming that these individual pieces are available until sold, and once they are gone, they are gone? And I assume that therefore some figures I may desire from a set wont be available for individual purchase due to the stock having been sold?
Sorry if these questions are compiled and answered elsewhere. I am none too clever at following product / web page layout, and I browse on a tiny mobile phone. So I do apologize if the answers should be obvious to me.
Thanks for any help, and for your patience. :)

Yup, you can buy them individually by pack, brick or case. Until they are sold out (the large packs from hero's and monsters is sold out many places).
What exactly does a subscription entail? I found the splash page about it confusing, but I am easily confused. :)
You buy a case at a discount, you get the case special for really cheap, and a code to give you a % off the smaller sets.(I don't use Paizo's minis subscription, so thats the most I can tell you on this)

There are at least 2-3 minis sets in the works. some will be based on adventure paths, some won't be. Many NPCs from older adventure paths are in Legends of Golarion set coming out later this year.
Are there certain core mini sets that are always going to be kept available?
Not really.... Wizkids doesn't have a big warehouse of their own, their entire run goes to Alliance to distribute straight from customs. Supposedly the Goblins horde box may be considered 'evergreen'. not sure about undead horde

See my answer above.

These are pieces that Paizo has opened packs for, and priced the contents. they are only available until the stock runs out.
Thanks for the reply. It helps a lot. I guess if I see an individual figure I want, I should snag it now. :)
