[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 4112483, member: 18701"] If you're new to collecting minis, then Dungeons of Dread seems to be an awesome set. It has all kinds of great minis in it. But if you've been collecting for awhile, then Rehash of Dread isn't going to be very impressive. I really only collect 1 of each dragon. It's cool that a set has all these good dragons in it, but I don't need a remake of a dragon I already have. I'm not complaining though because a lot of people use more than 1 dragon in an encounter. I'm not too bothered by remakes of other minis because the variety is nice. If I only need 10 bugbears, and there's only 5 different sculpts, then I'll have duplicates of the same sculpt. But then when they release a 6th sculpt, I add the new sculpt in my collection and sell/trade one of the others. My problem is just that we get all these remakes when we still don't even have other monsters. We have multiple remakes of some minis and still only 1 sculpt of others. It's wacky. As an rpger my collecting habits haven't changed much and most 2.0 minis are still useful in any campaign. But I can totally understand a skirmisher player not buying as many since he won't use the old ones right now. But rather than not buying anymore, I'd think they would buy more while they're cheap. I predict once the old minis are converted to 2.0 then their prices will rise back up. Might as well take advantage of that now :) [/QUOTE]
