D&D 5E What is my best bet for some cheap, decent miniatures?

A couple more paper mini links.

Precis Intermedia for buyng printed or downloadable paper minis, from several genres/

Paper Friends for downloadable free ones.

Another alternative is, of course, not to use minis.

I am considering selling many minis and moving to pogs, mainly because we will be moving and we are going towards minimalism. But, I have like 2000, and terrain. This is not an easy decision, like getting rid of books and box sets.

Youuu'll regreeet iiit.

I certainly don't regret moving to use of pogs and/or cubes instead. It cuts the size of my kit and my battlemaps by a large factor.

I've got over 1,000 pre-painted D&D minis from the old line (i.e. not the WizKids ones). I built up my collection over time, but got it to the point that I have the right mini, or a close representation of it for most encounters. They're definitely the pride of my collection. Cost a bit of money, but I'm glad to have them.

For $4, or less, you can get just about an single you want.

I recently did this for my "travel" kit. Except I use Roly People Pawns which massively cut down on the amount of stuff that I haul around (I believe I have another thread somewhere where I ask about kits for taking stuff around).

Around the table, though, I use Pathfinder Pawns. Easy to store, cheap, and a great variety.

My GM/DM uses figures still, though, so I have to admit they do have a special charm!

It's worth pointing out: LEGO minifigs are not perfect, but close enough to get the job done and an insanely cheap option, especially now that you can buy a "random minifig" for a dollar in most checkout-lines at major retailers. You can also buy large sets of minifigs for about the same price-point.

I am dirt poor so I cut cardboard into squares of 5'x5' and 10'x10' size and one for the 20'x20' and numbered them. worked

Roly People Pawns

I shudder to think what D&D monster you'd use the rubber flamingo for.
