| Ok imagine the Taliban (or unnamed anti-D&D force) takes over and says you may only keep I rare from each set. The rest will be melted for slag. Which one would you choose to keep? For me it would be:
Harbinger: Umber Hulk
Archfiends: Aspect of Orcus
Dragoneye: Large Red Dragon
Aberrations: Hook Horror
Giants of Legend: Fire Giant (Though losing my Drider would hurt)
Angelfire: Ogre Mage
Deathknell: Beholder
Underdark: Iron Golem
War Drums: Ogre Warhulk
My chocies are based on RPG use/sculpt. Not skirmish use. | |

DE: Orc Champion
GoL: (most valuable figure)

I would then trade the figures from GoL, AB, DK, and UD for the other Rare orcs not covered.

Nothing says CRAP quite so well as the Phoelarch. Wrackspawn was the obvious choice. Too easy. [:D] | |

| Wait, what? You mean they'd only let me keep one Celestial Pegasus? That hypothetical situation would give me real-world class levels in Frenzied Berserker. I would then put all my Rares into my favorite Construct: A 1984 Chevy full-cab truck. Then I'd go on the warpath.
So I'd end up keeping those rares. I'd like to see any group, domestic or foreign, religious or not, try to take my pegasi away. Because I would probably become the real-world's equivalent of Anavel Gato at that point, and that would be fun. | |

Anyway, I would have to find people who roleplay, calculate what they are keeping and keep different ones so that I could actually still Roleplay. Then we could still run D&D Miniatures tournaments, but they might be cut to X# points any figure limit tournaments.
