Cause the license holder may stipulate it as part of the contract...Not saying that's the case here, but was for GW in terms of the entire LoTR line. “Why should a company be opposed to having gamers buy their figures for alternate purposes?”

It still equals sales. Yeah, it seems a new minis game shouldn’t try to set itself apart from the rest by being a slightly different size, but rather by being a good game.

Even a Contra-like videogame for Genesis and SNES. I was pretty enthusiastic about Fantasy Flight's CMG and seriously considering buying a crate or two of the stuff to use for the rpg encounters and Siege of the Citadel substitutes. I knew of some other people wanting to use those minis for Warzone. I still don't know why they decided to use a Inquisitor-like scale instead of the 40K/WizKids/D&D Minis-like scale. IMHO, the smaller scale had more sales potential. They sure know better than me about their biz but for me this game went from "Sure buy" to "Might buy the starter some day. Maybe."

The <a href="http://www.thomasjane.com/mutantChronicles/" rel="nofollow">other teaser link</a> leads to another trailer on actor Thomas Jane's website.

Its definitely not a big budget SF spectacular but perhaps they'll have a really good story to make up for it. http://www.mutantchroniclesthemovie.com/
