[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1433827, member: 4779"] Justinian: I mostly agree. Allow me to share. :) Just got my 2 cases from Gameoutfitter. One of the cases was badly mangled which got me worried until I tore into the thing and found everything intact. *whew* [b][u]Distribution[/u][/b] The same as Dragoneye. I am missing 3 rares out of 2 cases which is exactly the same I was missing from DE. Much better than Harbinger. I can't see it getting much better than this, which is honestly, very good. The rares I am missing are the Paladin of Torm (I wanted this for a PC who is playing a Paladin), Aspect of Bane (no big, but I need it for the set) and the Gauth. On a personal note: Uncommons: I wish I got a few more elementals (just 2 medium earth and one medium fire), xill, githyanki fighters & yaun-ti purebloods. I got waaay too many: young minotaurs, evermeet wizards, psychic warriors and human psions. I'm not upset but it would have been cool to have more "critters" like the ones I listed above. :) [u][b]The Figures[/b][/u] The most impressive figures from the set, in no order: Silver Dragon - [i]very[/i] cool Aspect of Lloth - creeeepy Clay Golem - looks like it should Unicorn - nice Hill Giant - about right, looks good. I want more. Aspect of Orcus - size is good and impressive overall Vrock - simply odd but looks scary Graycloak Ranger - really nice looking, especially for a common Cleric of Lathander - very nice uncommon. They got the look right. Fire Elemental - so cute Earth Elemental - looks good next to the large Githzerai & Githyanki - very well done. Just like the books. Yuan-ti Pureblood - See Gith, above. Drow Sergeant - armor looks good, solid uncommon Ragnara, Psychic Warrior - Just like the book. Cool. Overall Look: Even the commons look pretty good. Compared to Harbinger and Dragoneye this is an improvement in quality. I am impressed. I want more undead and mooks in general but they will come in future sets. My only real complaint is the Ochre Jelly, it doesn't look all that hot, especially for a rare. Personal Note: I got FOUR Drizzt *grrrr*, FOUR Red Wizards *guh*, 3 Ochre Jelly, 3 Bone Devils. Not cool. [u][b]Breakdown[/b][/u] If I had to give an ENworld 5 point review rating I would give this set the following scores: Paint jobs - [color=darkorange]4/5 [/color]Mix of usuable figures for the RPG - [color=darkorange]4/5[/color] Skirmish Game - ?? <- means very little to me at the moment Sculpts - [color=darkorange]5/5 [/color]Forgotten Realms figs - [color=darkorange]4/5[/color] (no Harpers?) Fiends - [color=darkorange]4/5[/color] (I could see taking out a few like the young minotaur and catfolk for a few more actual fiends/devils/etc) [i]Final Score: [color=darkorange][b]4/5[/b][/color][/i] [color=lemonchiffon]Distribution is as good as it will get. The sculpts are solid. The paint jobs should improve a bit but are good now. I would give this the same score as Dragoneye with its mix of figures considered.[/color] [/QUOTE]
