[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 5480134, member: 27103"] I think the poll would probably be more useful if it included answers for people who did not use minis and played those editions. I started playing with D&D, and played in some campaigns with no miniatures, and many campaigns that used a battle map and miniatures to determine the layout for combat and relative locations. Only a few campaigns used miniatures with detailed movement rules. Our usual miniatures were a mix of metal minis (generally painted for PCs and the occasional major NPC or monster, unpainted for others), dice, and random tokens. In 3e, I usually used dice for miniatures until the D&D miniatures line came out, then I started collecting them. I continued to collect them through most of 4e, althogh my purchasing went down shortly before the PHB Heroes line came out (as I had plenty of minis, making it harder to justify purchasing a lot more), although I still pick up an occasional pack. I am always happy to use minis that I don't see very often, or pulling out just the right mini for an occasion. I picked up the Beholder's Collector Set, and it came in just in time for a multi-beholder battle in my home campaign. [/QUOTE]
