(example: Goblins, Hobgoblins, Baaz Draconians, etc)I am a HUGE fan of the D&D plastic minatures. While I loved metal minis and painted them over the years, I don't have the time for that anymore. The new plastic figs look good, can be reasonably cheap and hold up to wear very well. We love em and have a GREAT time using them. I look forward to new sets. Bring em on! It's a lot of fun for us.My one complaint is mentioned above - namely, some iconic monsters are too rare and expensive, even for those groups like our own which buy individual figurines in the after market in LARGE amounts. Specifically, Giants and Ogres are too expensive.  We need Ogres in large numbers, but not at $10 a piece.  0.25 to .99 a piece? We are ALL over that and there will be a vertiible army available.  But not at 10.00-15.00 for a single monster.</blockquote>
