American fast food chain Arby's releases polyhedral dice set (for the third time)

Arby's Dice

By popular demand, ARBY’S DICE ARE HERE. Take Arby’s on every adventure with these dice, each featuring a tiny signature Arby’s hat encased within. Dice feature gold lettering and are emblazoned with a teeny Arby’s logo. Game on.

Released earlier today for $12, they're already sold out, but will be back on April 21.

For non-Americans, Arby's is a C-list American fast food chain specializing in what they swear are roast beef sandwiches. They have good sides and sauce, but the actual sandwiches, not so much. There's a reason Nihilist Arby's was a thing.

These would certainly be the most unique dice set to bring to the table. Heck, maybe you could use them to play the Wendy's RPG and tear a hole in the fabric of spacetime.

the local one in Corvallis is also very consistent. And you can see them slicing the meat as its ordered... I wonder if they have the dice... they've not had shakes in most of a year.

Location is definitely the key. Theres a Burger King a few blocks away that I refuse to go to anymore. They have gotten to the point where they can't serve hot food if they tried. Somebody told me that location was bought out by Tim Hortons iirc, and thats about the time when their food became inedible. I've found that eating out in general is not worth it. Once I find a place I like it goes down hill rather quickly and not to mention the cost has gone up significantly in recent years.

I vote Jamoca... but the vanilla Orange us pretty good, too.

The Andes mint shake is a slice of heaven.

Even better, my local let me order an andes & jamoca combo. Instant 350 on my glucometer...

Personally, I LOVE Arby's. They have a great Turkey, Ranch and Bacon sandwich, they are the only place to get "Jamocha" shakes and their Greek-style gyro is out of this world! I love these polyhedral dice too but they sure are hard to chew and keep breaking my teeth.

Also, how are we apparently on wave three of Arby's dice, but Stranger Things doesn't have even one official dice set?

"MONETIZATION!"

I still shake my head that Hasbro C-suite went for D&D Beyond as "under-monetized" when they could sell shirts and dice for days.

Jomocha shakes were the bomb, then they ruined them, then they made them okay.

They did. You just had to buy a whole box set and they were rather generic.

Note it lists for $156 on Amazon and I think about $50 on eBay.

If they find it worthwhile to sell 72 different Hellfire Club variants, I find it hard to believe they can't get Q*Workshop or Chessex to keep them stocked with a set of black dice with the numbers in red in a typeface that resembles the Stranger Things logo.

My bet is the licensing fees go the other way and are probably prohibitive.

I cannot imagine how that's the case, given that there are pages and pages of products that vendors find to be a good deal and that creating solid black resin dice is cheap.
