[QUOTE="Thurbane, post: 4156669, member: 43273"] Today I bought the Dungeons of Dread Starter Pack, plus 4 booster packs. And after opening them all up (37 minis in all), I would say only 6 or so are decent. Overall, it seems to be a real step backward, to earlier sets with poor quality sculpts and even worse paint-jobs. The 4 rares I got were Ascendant Hellsword, Balhannoth, Death Knight and Mind Flayer Scourge . The Death Knight and MFS are truly awful - the DK paintjob is so poor he doesn't even have eye sockets. The AH and Balhannoth are OK, but nothing to write home about. The lowlight is the Grick - seriously, this looks like something from a plastic capsule obtained in a coin operated machine more than a gaming miniature. ...and then there is the usual shoddy distribution of rarities, with some rares and especially uncommons being far more prevalent than others. Of 4 booster packs, I managed to score a whopping 2 large minins (the Blahannoth and the Magma Brute). Needless to say I won't be wasting any more cash on this set of minis, and will be waiting for a positive review before I touch any future sets. I think I'm going to buy myself a booster pack of Heroscape figures just to get the bad taste out of my mouth... [/QUOTE]
