| I was just curious.
Am I the only one here who still hasn't gotten any minis from this set yet?
I mean, it looks like a good set and I'd like to pick up some boosters. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
It seems like as soon as a set drops, everyone here has 2 bagged sets collected within 3 days. Is any one else dragging their feet collecting this set? | |

| I've heard of others. You are not alone, although I got mine already. 
Realize that the people who post are a) more devoted than most and b) more likely to preorder. | |

Is any one else dragging their feet collecting this set?
Not dragging my feet. Just not planning on buying any at all. In fact, I'm thinking of selling off the remainder of my collection. My constructed DDM playing days are over and I will probably never DM a D&D game ever again. Thus, I see no reason to keep the minis.

That's too bad Ghendar. I remember you traded me the crowning piece to my collection: the LRD.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Always sucks to lose someone from the community....I definitely can see where you're coming from, though. My group has pretty much disintegrated and the rare times we do get together, it's just not that fun. Skirmish-wise, there is no scene either, so I'm mainly getting pieces for collecting at the moment and I'm not too sure how much longer I can justify the expense with the baby coming. | |

Are you quitting D&D altogether, or are you just not DMing anymore? | |

| | I myself don't play D&D anymore. All the suplements and scourcebooks that Wotc kept putting out got anoying after a while. Right now I'm looking into getting rid of most of my D20 stuff. I'm planning on keeping the three core books and two or three others. I still use the D&D minatures in Roleplaying games, I've just moved onto other (none-d20) systems for Roleplaying.
I'll likely start looking at getting rid of at least 75% of my collection, mostly older stuff from the first few sets. My purchases of the new sets have slowed down quite a bit. All in all I've gotten 8 boosters for nightbelow, as opposed to my 2-3 cases per set. Heck I didn't even pick up any of the Alliance and Empire, which is a game I play way more than DDM. | |

Alliance & Empire seemed to have more repeats of previous sets. I know my friends who collect SWM didnt bother with thier normal massive order, and cited that as the reason. | |

I have an excuse though....I got married right as they were released. So I didn't want to be opening boosters during my honeymoon

| Well, I finally got some not below. Maybe I just got bad pulls, but I'm pretty unimpressed w this set. The Barghest looks good, and the Darkmantle and Giant Eagle will see a lot of use. But the set doesn't seem all that great for RPG. Too much psionic stuff and Dragonspawn for my tastes.
Of course, I've only picked up 3 boosters so far. Maybe the other half of the set looks awesome in hand. | |

| | Too many dragonspawn? Doesn't the set only have two dragonspawn? But I agree: any dragonspawn is too many. Also, there really aren't that many psionic minis, either (any ones other than the celebrith?). | |

Well, in 3 boosters I got 4 Dragonspawn & 2 Cerebriliths. So it seemed like a lot to me. | |

I was just curious.
Am I the only one here who still hasn't gotten any minis from this set yet?
I mean, it looks like a good set and I'd like to pick up some boosters. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
It seems like as soon as a set drops, everyone here has 2 bagged sets collected within 3 days. Is any one else dragging their feet collecting this set?
yep... For reasons different from many others... No way am I paying the price for these boosters. 14.99?! Get bent! On top of that, I can't justify the expenses of buying, and I have sold 1/2 my collection already... Now it's down to the last half of my collection. Only thing I'm keeping is my millions of commons/uncommons... I like my armies of 10,000 orcs and such... literally. | |

I always try to send through delivery confirmation, and I expect the same. It's only 55 cents extra, so it's just a little more than a pay phone call, so just do it for the Kai. I prefer to trade with people in the US and Canada, sorry everyone else.

| Just for the record, my pre-ordered cases finally arrived last Friday. Trading has been good. Overall I like this set. I just wish I had more storage room as I'm rapidly approaching my physical space limit for this addiction.
