[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 7648757, member: 20741"] I don't normally reply in my reviews. People should be allowed to say what they want and to disagree with me if they care to. I get to write the Official Review -- you just get to write the comments. You should be free to at least do that unmolested. But that's going too far. The suggested MSRP of [I]Dungeon Command[/I] is $39.99, that's for 12 minis, some cardboard counters, a small deck of cards and 4 tiles. There IS NO MSRP on [I]Pathfinder Battles[/I]. At all. If you were to compare deep discount to discount, from the most favorable online source I can find ($25.99), you would have a per mini cost of about $2.18 for each [I]Dungeon Command's[/I] minis vs. $2.58 for [I]PFB: RotRL[/I] -- but that is ONLY without including the cost of shipping. After you add in shipping (free for PFB, NOT free for DC) as soon as the shipping and handling costs goes above $5.00, the price of DC per mini is now more than PFB: RotRL. Of course, I didn't say that -- I noted simply that the cost of a deep discount set would be cheaper on a per mini basis than from a FLGS. If the price you buy [I]Dungeon Command[/I] at it $31.00 or higher? Than that statement is true. I bought my copy of DC for $31.99, by the way - in a FLGS. It was far and away the cheapest price in my city. The other stores were charging $37.99-$39.99. If you bought DC for 31.99, shipping included? You did VERY well. I am well aware of [I]Dungeon Command's[/I] virtues as a game. I have a copy of each and I have reported on my experiences with it here on the first thread on ENWorld discussing the actual play demo of the game [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/en-world-official-reviews/326331-dungeon-command-first-game.html#post5976656"]here[/URL].
