| Just got back from Spring Revel, an annual gaming convention here down under, and have received a bunch of new promos with the annotation noted below on the undeside of the base.
2 x Small Copper Dragon - Promo
2 x Wizard Tactician - Promo 2
2 x Bluespawn Stormlizard - Promo
2 x Skeletal Reaper - Promo
2 x Yuan-ti Halfblood Sorcerer - Promo
and
2 x Fiendish Snake - Promo, from Blood Wars (1 left)
Please note that these are different from any promos previously issued only by the fact that the base annotation is as described above.
Please accept my apologies. I have the crappiest digital camera on the planet.

| Awesome. What exactly is Spring Revel?
Does the Fiendish Snake look like it could proxy for a Viper (Summonable by Druids)? | |

| Well, I need some of those promos (anyone down there have some they can spare for a trade, just email me). And, that's a nice scoop for the Blood War set.

| The Fiendish Snake, you must remember is fiendish so it is very sinister looking. However, if you look at the UD Dark Naga, imagine it smaller and more evil looking then you have a fair idea what it looks like. It is late here now but I will try and post a picture tomorrow of the mini and its stat card.

Fiendish snake is a Medium Common.
Great that it's a common, and vermin are always welcome, but yet another medium snake? We already had the medium displacer serpent and the medium iron cobra - and we have precisely no snakes in any other size category. I do wonder if WotC are really think this through... 
A small or large snake in particular would have been more helpful - but thanks for the scoop qillan!  | |

| | Common is great. I use Yuan-Ti alot in RPG, so any snakes are welcome. I was kind of getting bored of using Iron Cobras for that, and since they are uncommon, getting a huge horde of them is a pain. | |

| Reports like this remind me of why I'm not a hardcore collector.
I get my complete sets, and won't pass a promo or official repaint up,
but I would hate to have to chase all these.

Hope that helps.

| Spring Revel Downunder is a convention held in Australia every
October. It's a Hasbro con, featuring lots of RPGA games and a
D&D Mini's league event. And, everyone who comes to the
con gets a showbag of promo mini's - 12 this year (but not everyone got
12 different cos we ran out of most of the older ones).

| I love that you took a picture of it anyway, even though you have a bad camera. We don't need to have exact detail. We just need something more than one person's word on it.
I really wont mind having a horde of common snakes to unleash on my players. I can see sending them into a temple and reinacting the Indiana Jones situation. | |

| In answer to the question, what is spring revel, visit this site http://www.consupport.com/index.asp?Con=57 and check it out.
Our FLGS in Sydney ran it's first "Sydney Challenge" tournament in Dec 05, and picked up a lot of the promos from the 2005 Spring Revel, thanks to WOTC.
Sadly, this year, we held our second Sydney Challenge in August. WOTC again supported the event, but we didn't score any of the promos that were released in October with the 2006 Spring Revel Down Under.
Maybe we better run Sydney Challenge #3 in November next year?
Cheers
