Maybe the value of full sets and opened characters will be higher. Any thoughts? I don't care, as I've nearly always opened them. And now they are essentially random, it makes it harder for sellers to strip a store of the popular figures by feeling them, leaving the less popular ones behind. So it is a good move from that point of view. Not so good if you only want a specific figure, but at least now these are essentially random as intended. If they are essentially random I hope the distribution is even. Feeling through the packets sometimes got me the minifigure I was after. I still ended up with lots of duplicates because my fingers aren't as sensitive as they should be. With box weights, I suppose I'll have to go and find a scale to lug around. Great, more excess baggage I have to cart around to find that one last minifigure I'm after! Cheers ... ghyde
