I have to say that I was skeptical about the minis when I saw them on the WoTC site. I thought they looked ok, but really doubted that that they would be quality enough to purchase continually.
Opinions change!!! I have bought 1 starter pack and 9 boosters since Thursday and am COMPLETELY satisfied by both the look and paint jobs!
The randomization of the packs may be a sale oriented pitch, however, after buying my first 3 boosters I felt like a kid getting an unknown christmas gift. I rushed home to open up the box to see what surprise I had in store.
It was exciting. It reminded me when I collected baseball cards when I was a kid and would open the pack and shuffle through the cards to see if I had gotten one of my favorite players (and chomp on the piece of gum)!!
This keeps me coming back for more. This is what fueled the Magic trading card game and I think will fuel the miniature product. I have 9 rares and tomorrow I am going to get a couple more boosters in hopes of getting some that I don't have (or even the ones I do have...the ogre, dire boar, wraith, displacer beast shambling mound are awesome).
I am going to use these figures in my routine D & D game and doubt I will ever play the skirmish game, but think that this product works for both. For me getting 7 orcs is great. How often do you battle 1 lonely orc. 5 skeletons, 5 zombies, 4 kuo toa is great.
I was going to start trading, but don't feel I can just yet due to the fact that I want quantity of many of the miniatures to use in the game.
I am completely pleased with the product and hope that they continue and don't cancel like chainmail. The trading is also great. A secondary market for the product helps drive the sale of the product because people feel that even if they get miniatures they dont want there is an outlet that they can exchange them.
I must say that the paint jobs are great for what the miniatures cost. A little over a $1 per mini is very enticing. No time spent painting is another HUGE bonus!! I play with counters right now and they are fine, however, there is a big diffrence in my players faces when I plop down 6 skeleton minis which they can see in 3D!! It has a much different feel.
Since purchasing my first set I have not been this excited in purchasing anything game related in years. This has brought a great feel for me and I hope many of you out there feel the same. Hey who knows maybe I will crack open the MHB and try a few skirmishes with a friend!!!
Anyone else have an opinion?
