[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4910311, member: 7006"] I was another Auggies (and the like) Common Singles purchaser. I had received cash for Christmas from various family members and thus was able to earmark $120.00 towards D&D pre-painteds. As I am a DM, I knew I wanted lots and lots of various monsters in different forms and quantities, plus a bunch of potential PC miniatures for the future. I went into Auggies and went down every single set list... writing down and Adding To Cart any miniature that was less than $1.00 each. Made sure to write everything down seperately based upon race or class (for potential PCs) and race for every monster mini. When all was said and done, I was able to pick up over 200 miniatures for my collection, all in various quantities ranging from 1 (for PC minis or monsters that they either had a low count of or was slightly over my $1.00 minimum for a mini that would ultimately be too useful not to grab) upwards to 10 (for extremely large and low-priced collections of figures to use as potential minions like the Chillborn Zombie) By buying 5-10 of the really cheap ones (ones you can get for like .25 to .45 cents apiece) to 2-3 of the mid-range ones (.55 to .75 apiece) and then filling the collection out with the .85 to .95 figures that are just really useful (like ranged attackers for specific monster races)... you can have a great base to begin playing with. I myself now have numerous and various animal figures, a dozen-plus each (in various poses) of kobolds, goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, gnolls, drakes, skeletons, zombie/ghoul, kruthiks, reptillian humanoids, warforged/mechanical, duergar, drow, plus quite a few single figures of various types of other monsters (like swarm figs, a grell, a grick et al.) And it's worked out fantastic. [/QUOTE]
