What would be really neat is if the figures/dolls were sold separately (not
just in addition to, but not be in the sets). The sets might still contain
the clothing, but I'd rather see that separately also. That would reduce the
price of the sets significantly, yet not increase the price overly much for
those actually buying them to actually use with the figures. I can see
people who use the figures wanting multiples of some sets, but not needing
two or more of each figure.
Of course I think Millimy would still come with each set (I'm sure most of
why Millimy is in the current sets is to encourage people to get all the
sets), but being a single piece, she must not be very expensive to
manufacture (at least compared to the regular figures).
Of course this same idea would apply to Scala.

| (...) This is a good idea, but it's pretty obvious (IMO) that TLG wouldn't do it. Two basic reasons: 1. This would reduce the price of the set for YOU, meaning it will reduce the profit of TLG - you pay less, and (as you said) not too many people (...)
