Well, one odd thing I noticed about Funcom's business strategy, in the case of Monster Trials and S14 specifically, is that there is no real way of getting the best in both physical and in-game mini-figures. Let me explain

The more S14 minifigs purchased IRL for easier access to tickets in-game neglects the need for them in game in the first place (tickets to play a game to get parts for S14 characters already owned? Huh). Nuff said :P

Side-Note: The only variable affecting this is the drop rate of tickets in-game, which we don't know yet.
