DDM Set 10: War of the Dragon Queen

[the Jester]

Sounds very cool to me- and I don't even use very many dragons imc!

And I was just wondering about the new figures.

Of course now the fun begins in wondering what will actually be in these boxes eh? Heck, I don't think we have a full listing of the War Drums figs yet do we?

I'm so glad we're finally getting more huge figures.

GoL is my favorite set to date, and I'm hoping this set will be as good or better. What I *really* like, is that, in essence, there is the possibility of 2 rares in a box (1 huge, 1 not).

Sweet!

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.

Based on the 12 boosters and the total list of 12 figures, it was Cloud giants and not Frost Giants. Which are worth not nearly as much.

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

I hear dat!!!

I bought 3 cases of GOL's and just barely made 1 complete set.

Buying cases is also cheaper, averaging $12 per booster. I think it's wrong making "kids" & lower income people who most likely can only afford to buy per booster at a time (spending what is it, $19 retail?) spend a fortune just to have a complete 72 mini set.

If it averages 3 cases to build a 72 mini set, and you have to spend $720 just for a 72 figure set and have 252 spare minis left over, that's wrong. The randomization process just rubs me the wrong way. I don't mind it being random, but not that random. I'll be glad to see that curbed a little this next time.

The price they sell the boosters at doesn't bother me. The minis are very nice and well worth the price. It's the overall price it ends up costing you just to make a set that's the problem. People still buy them like crazy though, so WotC knows what they're doing.

Most people don't buy DDM to get one of each figure. They *want* duplicates.

3 cases will give you 12 of each common, 3-6 of each uncommon, and (on average) 1-2 of each rare. That's a very useful collection for D&D RPG purposes.

For those who don't want to buy so much, trading works wonders.

Cheers!
