Got a case:

non-huge rares:
Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat (lame for a rare, as I only use for RPGs)
Warden of the wood (again lame for RPG use)
War Weaver (see lame comment)

The Warden is uncommon. It's a pity the Talon isn't uncommon.

Cheers!

3 boxes:

Huge Fire Elemental, Huge Purple Worm and a Bluespawn Godslayer...I also got a Greenspawn Razorfiend, Doom Fist Monk and a Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat...and since we are finsihing up part of RHoD that I like the minis...
 

Picked up a 2nd box and got the Sorcerer of Black Dragon and Slaughter Stone Evicerator. So far thats 2 boxes and 4 rares, and pretty cool rares at that. I know my luck can't hold out. I ususally stop buying boxes once I reach the point that I have most or all of the common and uncommons, picking up things I have missed only if I really want them from the FLGS or trades.
 

I too picked up 2 cases and got exactly the same huges... pretty disappointing really. Just glad I got 2 eldritch giants instead of 2 sorcerors on black dragon to go with my 2 tundra scouts...

Other than the poor distribuiton, the figures are nice though.
 

I wanted to pick up a purple worm last night, so I went by the FLGS. I asked the employee if I could trade whatever uncommon huge I got in the booster I was buying for the purple, and he agreed since they had loads of them. (I love win-win situations!) Ou popped an Aspect of Tiamat with a Griffin Cavalry! I was forced at that point to buy the purple, but was not unhappy about it. :)

Nine boosters and one competition so far, and all I'm missing are the Eldritch Giant and the Tundra Scout. *happy dance*

Got my cases... not enough time to open them all.

1st Case:
Huge Fire Elemental - too cool
Purple Worm - too cool
Mountain Troll
Huge Fiendish Spider
Tundra Scout - love it, but wonder about how much I can use it.
Eldritch Gian - very nice

Also in the first case - a very good spread of standard size creatures, in fact only a few non-rares that I did not get.

So Far, So Good. I am still crossing my fingers that I am not a victim of the duplicate case problem.

******Update*******

2nd Case
Purple Worm - again very cool
Mountain Troll - I guess for a duplicate this one is useful
Huge Fire Elemental - another cool duplicate to have
Aspect of Bahamut - very nice
Aspect of Tiamat - Ooooh very nice
Bluespawn Godslayer - looks neat, but can I actually use it in our game?

So far, I am totally thrilled with my 2 cases so far. I have most of the collection covered with those 2 cases with just a few rares missing, and those are mostly things I could do without or I should be able to pick up rather easily for a trade or two. I am almost afraid of opening my last case of 6 boxes for fear that all I will get is a bunch of duplicates. I might just sell off the last box for cash to fund some individual purchases.

Of the missing few, I really wish the Dracolich was in there somewhere. I really wanted that one.

Opened two cases.
I'd say the distribution was slightly poor, but I got on the lucky side of the draw. So I'm quite happy.

I'm also in the 2 Tiamat and 2 Bahamut camp.
Got two purple worms (cool) and two Bluespawn (oh well, can't win'em all)
Also got 2 pack lords, one troll and one fire elemental

Didn't get a huge spider but already got a red from e-bay, so that works for me.
Didn't get a sorcerer on black, but got the Paizo one, so again, that works great.

Of my non-huge rares only one was non-large. Wierd but cool.

Almost everything I didn't get I'm fine with not having.

Got two large greens. They look a LOT better in hand than in the picture.

I'll need to go e-baying for:
Dracolich, eldritch giant, large fang dragon and tundra scout.
I also didn't get a single small fire elemental. :( That will be easy to fix.

Oh, and Bahamut looks great and Tiamat is SUPER!
 

I'd like to reinforce my inclination to buy a Tiamat mini from anyone who has her in duplicate. Don't have any minis to offer, but I could either pay thtough PayPal or in a free painted illustration.
 

I just got my two cases in the mail today. I'm really happy with the huges I got.

Huge Rares:
Dracolich
Eldritch Giant
Sorcerer on Black Dragon
Tundra Scout

I still want to get an Aspect of Tiamat. The only huge uncommon I still need is a Displacer Beast Pack Lord.

I'm pretty happy with my non-huge rares. However, I did get duplicate Tordeks and Meepos.

Non-Huge Rares I still want:
Blackguard on Nightmare
Cadaver Collector
Large Green Dragon
Magma Hurler

I heard a bunch of horror stories about people buying gobs of cases and hardly getting any stirges. I guess I got lucky though because I got a stirge in each case.

The paint jobs and sculpts in this set are excellent.
