| | Assuming they are following the same format with 1 large and 4 mediums, what minis would you like to see in the new starter? | |

| If the large is a dragon:
'Bad' Guys-
1 Young Blue Dragon (lrg)
1 Minotaur Warrior w/ axe or club (medium)
'Good' Guys-
1 Human Male Warlock w/ cane/rod, knife, and long coat (going for an Eberron feel)
1 Elven Male Fighter w/ an Arabian swordsman look (turban, scimitar, round shield, long robes)
1 Halfling Female Rogue w/ hand crossbow and dagger | |

I'd be happy with either of your lists. But, I'd like to see figures you don't want hordes of like the Sellsword. | |

| 1 really usable big monster, like a dragon.
1-2 of a monster race that is used semi-frequently
2-4 of player races/classes
Pretty much I want the same format as this last starter, just different races/classes. I liked the starter as a whole.

| Large Blue would be pretty cool. The large in the starter should be the selling point and really should be something cool that you only need one or two of.
For mediums, though this goes for regular minis sets as well, I'd like to see more guys with different weapons: exotic stuff, polearms, dwarves with something besides a hammer or axe, elf with something besides a bow, etc and maybe someone not wielding a weapon. | |

| It will have a dragon... the big Dungeons and Dragons starter pack without a dragon? I'd be really surprised (I'll have to check back on this come March)
Leave out the Tieflings & Dragonborn and put up some more adventurer minis... I'd be happy.
Maybe an ogre underling to the dragon, that would be cool | |

| | Themed or not I just hope it's as good as the first one. I think it would be cool if it didn't contain a large and had just two small groups of PCs good vs evil. With a good mix of races and classes this would be great for a person just starting out in the rpg side of things. | |

| I'd like to open my starter and find a misprinted mini that turns out to be super rare and almost impossible to find; and then I'd like some rich collector to offer me $500 for it.

Since you can control how many of these figures you get, exotic weapons/no weapons would be outstanding.
This is the important point for me. WotC use several modes for selling minis - boosters of random minis, starters of non-random minis, and Icons 'packs' that (sometimes) contain non-random 'normal-sized' minis. Frustratingly, they use all those modes to deliver exactly the same sorts of minis. I wish they'd be a little smarter.
A non-random pack could contain things that wouldn't work well in a random mode - e.g. things you only want few of. Non-combatants, familiars (if they are still needed, that is), aquatic creatures, unusual weapons would be good - things that add flavour and aid story. | |

| | My favourite mini would be a very sexy black woman in a golden full-plate dragon armor and wielding a great double dragon shaped halberd.It will be a civilization mini with low cost and overpowered and being the best mini ever (Yes,much better than EB and Wulfgar).But I think this will never happen...:( | |

'Bad' Guys-
1 Young Blue Dragon (lrg)
1 Minotaur Warrior w/ axe or club (medium)
'Good' Guys-
1 Human Male Warlock w/ cane/rod, knife, and long coat (going for an Eberron feel)
1 Elven Male Fighter w/ an Arabian swordsman look (turban, scimitar, round shield, long robes)
1 Halfling Female Rogue w/ hand crossbow and dagger
Well, at least we will be getting these 'bad' guys before the new starter comes out.

I was close on the troll, but way off on the others (maybe not the druid though).
