Oh, they're down to 129.00 now, which is something like 9 months worth of WoW membership. So if you're really obsessed with WoW, it might be worth it.

And I agree that at this point 3-D printers will be expensive. On the other hand, as they become more common the price for 3-D modeling systems is bound to come down, as will the cost of making the models. I don't think figurines are going to be a major factor in driving the price down, but they should benefit from the economies of scale.
