| Just like turt, I also have an advent mini calendar. So as not to clog up his thread, I have started my own.
And the goodies so far?
Day 1: Naga - A Rare to begin with was nice. Even nicer was the fact that it was one I wanted but did not have.
Day 2: Visejaw Crocodile - I already got one in my first 9 boosters and I was happy to get a second one. I really like the look of this mini, even if it is hanging off its base an awful lot!
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

| Day 3: Shadar-Kai Assassin - It's not the best Uncommon of the set but one of the players in my D&D game is playing a spiked-chain wielding PC so this might be a better mini for him to use than the half-orc Rask he is using at the moment. I might try giving his skin a paint though so he doesn't look so gothic. That guy needs to get some sun!

Hi Olaf,
LOL! I totally agree. What is it with the pale complexion? This mini could use a repaint.
Later,

| The only thing I though of is that Shadar-Kai are some sort of pale race. I think they are from Eberron and I don't own any of the Eberron books so I don't know for sure. If that isn't the case then he just has a really bad paint job. Either way, I'm going to be repainting him to use in my game.

| Hi Olaf, It has to be Eberron. I don't have any of the books either, so I don't know. Leave it to Eberron to have a race of pasty white guys. :) Later, Mazra | | | |

| Sure! It was funny to see that we both started our calendar with a Rare. I don't know if yours was intended but I'm almost certain that mine was pure luck. Considering my wife referred to the Naga as a "funny-looking snake-man thing", I doubt that she knew that there were different levels of rarity when she was putting the minis into their pockets! :) Olaf the Stout | | My Trade Thread 12 Trades Completed - Bert the Troll, Keoki, elf_ranger, kalle, Dropbear, twilightraven, SkYlyn3, Monolthicus (x2), qillan_dvra, xuthal, MMT 2007 My Reference Thread | |

| Day 8: Black Woods Dryad - An ok Common. I still think of Dryads as being attractive, which this sculpt certainly isn't. Even still, I've seen worse minis before.

| Day 13: Rot Scarab Swarm - Another Common. I'm after 16 of these so I have enough for 4 Swarms so the more the merrier. I am getting a little antsy for another Rare though. I was lucky enough to get one on Day 1. Since then though nothing but Commons and Uncommons. There's 2 in there somewhere still!

| As far as I know my wife put them all in randomly. I don't even think that the 3 boosters' contents stayed separated from each other so I could get 2 Rares in the next 2 days or even 2 Rares on the 23rd and 24th.

10 days to go and there are still 2 Rares in there somewhere! Olaf the Stout | | My Trade Thread 12 Trades Completed - Bert the Troll, Keoki, elf_ranger, kalle, Dropbear, twilightraven, SkYlyn3, Monolthicus (x2), qillan_dvra, xuthal, MMT 2007 My Reference Thread | |

| Day 15: Dwarf Maulfighter - An Uncommon. It's an ok Uncommon. The pose is good. Looking at it closely though it doesn't have a whole lot of detail in it. Even if I did repaint it, there still isn't a lot of things to repaint on it. 9 Days to go and still 2 Rares remain.

8 days left and 2 Rares still remain. They're in there somewhere.

| Day 17: Elf Conjurer - My second Rare! While it is a medium humanoid, something which I normally consider disappointing to get as a Rare, I really think this is one of the nicest looking ones I have seen. I'm happy to have one. Unfortunately I had already traded a Mercenary General for one so now I have 2! :)
Oh well, I add it to my trade list and see if anyone else is interested in it.

There's one Rare left but I can't be bothered figuring out what the rest are (commons vs. uncommons). It'll be more fun finding out when I pull them out instead.

While I still probably prefer the Sahuagin Ranger from Aberrations I still think this is a nice mini.

| Day 20: Dwarf Brawler - An Uncommon. I really don't think much of this mini. I don't know if it's the the expression on his face or the paintjob but he just looks really odd. Not one that I'd want to have more than one of. Unfortunately I now have 2, so off to the trade bin one goes.
Only 4 days left now!
