DnD minis	Customer Rating:
It's sad that they (Wizards of the Coast/HASBRO) discontinued this game/ product line....just after changing the rules. But whatever. Aside from that MAJOR BS, they are still cool. Amazing, isn't it? Well...I like DnD stuff, so, I forgive a lot. It's a fun game, and you can find cheap singles all over the web. Peace.

Off to a good start, but expecting better.

Customer Rating:

I started playing d&d minis right when Desert of Desolation first hit the shelves. I loved it, and immediately stocked up on Night Below, Unhallowed, Blood War, and Dragon Queen. When the new rules came out with Dungeons of Dread, I was a little trepidatious but have been won over by the way that they streamline game play and make the game more accessible to new players. I mean hey, my girlfriend is now a hard-core player and she is not the, ahem, D&D type. I will say, though, that more than a few of the miniatures leave A LOT to be desired. In the older sets, miniatures were finely detailed and many had very interesting, dynamic poses that really brought a feeling of story to the game. New Dungeons of Dread pieces like the Bulette or Silver Dragon bring some of that back. But the majority tend to lean toward the monochromatic and plain, or the down-right poorly designed. The Orc Raider is so bland that I can't even bring myself to use it for role-playing purposes. And the Mind Flayer, one of the most feared creatures in the D&D universe, looks like he had bad nail polish spilled on him. All in all, this is a great game and the new sets are bringing some really great stuff to the table. The original early sets were also a little lacking in the mini dept. and so I am hoping that the cool cats at Wizards are slacking on the sculpts until they see what kind of reaction the new game gets. If you're wondering about the game, get it. I am sure good things are on the way.

Good product BUT....	Customer Rating:
I ordered 12, "assuming" that I would get a sealed box (that's how many come in a box). But Amazon sent me one from one box and 11 from another, and I ended up getting two of the same rare because of it. So the savings is not worth buying here on Amazon, if you are a collector and want to get whole sets. But the product itself is great if you are into D&D or D&D Minitures games.

disappointed

Customer Rating:

D&D miniatures have a new look. And I don't like that look. They are using a new glossier paint scheme. I find it to be very fake enamel-like paint. What happened? I also found the sculpts on this set to be uninspiring. And this is the first full set for the 2E mini rules and for the 4E RPG rules. Yet there are no dragonborns but plenty of tieflings. Odd. Overall, I would say to order individual minis that you want from various places instead of getting a random booster.

Better quality than previous boosters

Customer Rating:

The figures in the new booster have greater detail and more accurate paint jobs than in previous packs. I've had good success in getting new figures in each pack. The creativity of design is fun to see - armor and shields have terrific detail and patterns, wings are better textured and even the ugliest beasts have vivid color and character depth. Particularly good, in my amateur opinion, are the Angel of Valor, Ascendant Hellsword, and the Bugbear Headreaver (holding a reaved head, of course). Even the orc raider has a battered shield. The new packaging makes it easier to get everything out, but it is extremely difficult to open the boxes without completely mangling them.
