[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9130643, member: 52734"] The blind boxes used to be a great deal when you were starting out getting miniatures, as you'd end up with lots of kobolds, goblins, orcs and the like. As the years have gone by the value has unfortunately gone down (the 1st sets had like 9 miniatures for $10, they're now $20 for 4). For me now, the best thing to do is buy the singles when I see something I don't already have or need a specific creature. The paint quality has varied over the years and has gone up and down. Ovearall, it is kinda hard to beat the time saved by being able to just plop them down on the table - just an average miniature takes me 4-8 hours to paint up and for me is rarely better quality than the prepaints. If I didn't have so many already, I would have gone the pawn route with the likes of the Pathfinder pawn boxes, or possibly the acrylics - the pawns are cheap and they and the acrylics take up a lot less space than full 3D minis.
