Rob Heinsoo on Large Uncommon miniatures

In a previous post, the Wizards designers said that they'd solved the technical problem that stopped them making Large Uncommon figures. Rob Heinsoo recently clarified this on the Wizards boards:

"When we say that we have solved a particular problem, that doesn't mean that the problem is solved in the expansion or expansions you are about to buy; we have to work so far in advance that anything we say about things we're currently solving has no relation to sets you're buying any time soon.

"To be clear, this Dire Wolf mini is a rare mini. I would have been happy to do an uncommon Dire Wolf mini, but we couldn't get that worked out.

"When we have a set coming out that seriously offers the large uncommons perk, I'll definitely let you folks know beforehand, instead of forcing you to guess."
