This is a GREAT idea! Lego could put mass quantities of "standard torsos"
in, and every once in a while mix in something really rare like a forest
maiden or something. This is how collectable card companies sell their
products. Lego could do the same. You also don't have to be limited to
minifig packs....
Imagine a door/window/roof pack that would every once in a while contain
hard to find slopes, doors or windows!
