Not possible to collect Minuatures?
Most of the non-unique mini-pets are for sell on the trading post ranging from 15 silver to a few gold. You can also make at most 2 mini-pets from the Wintersday event. If you have not complete a few from before, wait until Tixx gets to LA and all the dungeons will be opened.
Is it not possible to collect miniatures unless you pay real cash? I was hoping to build a collection like in the first game through events and achievements, but now it seems like it’s only for those who want to pay.
Hmmm, in the wintersday section of the forum is a lot of debate bout this. So I would suggest to go there.
My personal opinion is that it might be sad for the mini-collectors, but I do understand that Arenanet is a commercial company. making and running a game like this cost alot of money. Where most mmo-makers have a pay to win or monthly fee system in place, GW2 is for the biggest part pay (once) to play and win. the only exception to this so far are the miniature collectors. I do hope that arenanet do one of the following things:
1: make the miniatures tradable.
2: promise to have the same miniature next year. Hopefully not only as a very rare drop from mystery boxes, but also directly for gems (maybe for like 2000-3000 gems). That way people like you know to farm all year and put gamegold away soyou can buy the gems with gold and get them next year.
Arise, ye farmers of all nations

We do have to keep in mind also that the minis currently in-game haven’t necessarily replaced the birthday minis of GW1 – we’re still many months away from finding that out!
It could well be that there will be a full birthday set each year to receive for free & trade for off others, and that there’s simply additional store bought sets also – heck; minis from the current set may even be distributed in birthday presents next year!
