The 10th D&D Miniatures set appears to be entitled War of the Dragon Queen.

It will be a set with Huge miniatures; the price appears to be the same as Giants of Legend (i.e. us $19.99 per booster)

We can expect the Aspect of Tiamat to finally make an appearance.

Cheers!

Ugh, the prospect of more "very rare" minis do not thrill me. I love huge figures. But i hate chase figures that show up 1 per 3 boosters.

I was very sad by the Giants of Legend. After 12 boosters my group acquired 5 frost giants, 3 treants, 2 bullete, and 2 warforged titans. There were several of the most common huge miniatures that we never acquired and we eventually lost interest. Hopefully this set will be better.

I'm pretty positive that the rarity of huges has been revamped, which is good.

Unless there are more than 1 huge per pack, then having any rarity variations in the huges creates chase figs.

Its wotc's game, they can do what they like with it, but they did say when they started it up there would not be chase figs.

At least the largest huges will be the easiest to get. Shake-shake-shake, Shake-shake-shake, Shake that booster!.

Thanks for the info, Merric!

I guess I'll need more shelves now...

*grumbles*

That set is supposed to arrive in July... I hope there's another set coming out before this one...

Edit: Just saw "War Drums" on the same site...

Anyone with 5 Frost Giants can pretty much trade them for any huge (other than the 2 dragons) that they want. Indeed, you could probably deal them for 5-10 rares.

As for this announcement, I'm quite excited by the news of more Huges, more dragons, and that the price has not increased.

Looks to be a good excuse to get the 3 missing Draconian minis finally too

By Wizards' definition of chase figures, they still haven't made any.

I think a 1 in 24 chance of getting a specific huge rare in a booster, and with cases pretty much guaranteed to give you half (3) of the huge rares, it isn't that hard to get a set.

Now, if Wizards used the MageKnight system of rarity - yes, there would be chase figures.

Cheers!

That is great news.
