Tal-your a bad man for doing that to us [:p]
Not to quick
It took WOTC employees 2hrs and 20 minutes to find the thread but it took 13 hours for a Maxminis mod (Merric)to find it! [:D]
Thats true but if there was any real info I guarentee one of the Mods would have whisked it to the admin forum in half a heartbeat. | |

ADD wouldn't be quite the right diagnosis (and is often incorrectly diagnosed, anyway). It's a combination of the SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome) and the effects of the society of the spectacle.
Shiny Object Syndrome (or the Gooberfish Effect) is when you are easily distracted by shiny objects. Example: Jar-jar in Episode 1 is in the middle of a conversation and says 'Gooberfish' without any real explanation/reason. He was distracted by the shiny object.
Spectacular culture focuses on the immediate future. Who will be the next American Idol? Who will be the next voted off of the island? What will the next great mini be? Critics of spectacular culture argue that this sense of 'the next great' diminishes any chance of the real, presently-occuring life to be satisfactory. Sure, you just bought a 42" plasma TV. But, 50", 60", and bigger are available/will be available soon with higher resolution, better sound, etc. Similarly, sure you just completed your set of DQ. But, Blood War will have a Marilith, a Solar, a Githyanki riding a Red Dragon (little red riding hood?), and a Dire Chicken (Ok, maybe not).
Since most gamers suffer from SOS (well, they don't exactly suffer...I actually enjoy it) and most people are inducted into spectacular society (if you're reading this, you're a likely candidate), we're always chomping at the bit for the next set.

My post was largely said tongue-in-cheek, I just forgot the [)] at the end.
However, I don't understand the addiction level that causes folks to be bored with a set that's barely two weeks old. I really don't get it.
Have a nice day. [:)] | |

Odds are good it'll be in Unhallowed, since (IIRC) he said it would be in set 12. | |

No..they glow white with sparks of energy and flame within. They are invisible if in the light..But in the dark they are shining beakons.
The hellcat should be like a clear white or just clear with white flecks or glitter in it. | |
