[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 5125673, member: 27103"] I'll have to see what they look like. I'm torn, because I know they'd probably never get used in a game (I've used beholders a handful of times in the last ten years of gaming). However, beholders are really cool. I agree with those that say the $35 price point isn't bad. It's not cheap, but getting four beholders through other means would be even more expensive. I don't mind random minis packs, as it's helpful to have lots of the commons and uncommons for some enemies and you don't need a lot of certain types of enemies. I'm also fine with lots of PC race minis, as this gives some to use as PCs and also a lot to use as NPC bad enemies. That said, there was an over-proliferation of certain types and not enough of others (i.e. too many elven archers, too man dwarven fighter-types, etc.). Still, I think the real problem with the non-random minis lines were that the non-random minis weren't all that desirable. Almost all of them had at least one mini included that didn't look very good, and there were a lot of unusual choices (dragonborn rogue with gold armor with a handcrossbow and a dagger, I'm looking at you).
