| | Dave - Looks like you only pulled four. ??? PL said the the pulls would be 1 huge rare in every 3 boosters, so you got the average. | |

| Really? I figured that the distribution would be one Huge rare out of every other booster--or, three Huge rares per sealed case.

I got two boosters and that is it. I hate buying boosters/cases for huge sets, such a waste of money!

| I'm thinking 3 cases is the right amount here.

| 6 cases. Very lucky distribution overall - I wound up short only 1 figure, the adamantine dragon. Getting 5 yuan-ti anathemas was annoying, though. Got two of the dragon I wanted a pair of (white). For the uncommon huges, more of the elemental proxies would have been nice. Most of my higher multiple rares were unfortunately things I didn't really want that many of, but I'll take the nearly full set and not complain.
All but one of my cases had the huge rares in Fire Titan or Red Dragon boxes. The exception had one rare in dragon box (anathema), one in an Efreeti box (elder white).
The uncommons clustered very badly in this set. Fortunately, the band I missed out on (fist of moradin/golden wyvern initiate/bugbear lancebraker) was a good one - don't care for any of the three.
Huge R:
Yuan-ti Anathema (x5)
Elder White Dragon (x2)
Fire Titan (x2)
Death Titan
Elder Red Dragon
Shadow Hulk
Â
Huge U:
Armored Guulvorg (x5)
Blackroot Treant (x5)
Chain Golem (x5)
Enormous Carrion Crawler (x4) - 2 in one case, my first distro glitch since war drums
Thunderblast Cyclon (x3)
Earth Titan (x2)
Rares:
4x: Boneclaw Impaler, Furious Owlbear
3x: Doresain the Ghoul King, Dragonborn Myrmidon, Skullcleave Warrior, Storm Giant Thunderer
2x: Angel of Retribution, Cloaktrick Rogue, Dragonborn Defender, Efreeti Flamestrider, Tomebound Arcanist
1x:Â Fire Giant Raider, Mighty Blademaster, Roper, Shocktroop Devil, Tiefling Gladiator, Voracious Ice Devil
None of: Young Admantine Dragon
Uncommons:
6x: blazing skeleton, captain of the watch, cave bear, elf arcan archer, feybound halfling, fire bat, lizardfolk raider, lurking wraith, plaguechanged ghoul, visceral devourer (love this sculpt!), xorn ravager
5x: cockatrice, dwarf warsword, eladrin pyromancer, half-elf assassin, hellwasp, shifter claw adept
2x: bugbear lancebearker, fist of moradin, golden wyvern initiate
Commons:
12 of each, as expected
WotC needs to fire their photographer. Overall, the real appearance of the minis was much improved over the post. I'm upping this set to a "B-".

| | I bought 3 cases with crazy distribution I got one of every rare and huge rare, 2 of every common, 2 to 3 of every uncommon and 2 of every huge uncommon except thunderblast cyclone and chain golem which i got 1 and 3 of. This is the first time I have ever got to complete a set with the minimum number of cases bought. It was crazy. | |

| Interesting finds. We got 5 cases and I think we should have a complete set. We noticed that Efreeti boxes tended toward Uncommon Huges. We noticed that the White Dragon has a different cardboard insert than the rest, so he can be cherry picked... I will definately try that. We got way too many Anathema and Shadowhulks. Most of the Treant and Chain Golem boxes weren't sealed well on the bottom and had an uneven bulge on the base of the booster.... this could just be coincidence. I don't know how I am going to get the remainder of my minis I want, buying another 5 cases is just insane. I hate the booster prices, ebay here I come.
We. I found that many of the rare + huge were almost exact duplicates. Example, Dorsain and Treant. Chain Golem and Cloaktrick.Â

| Here are a couple more data points. I ordered some boosters
from Amazon.com and they showed up today. (There are
probably better deals out there, but I only wanted two, and
$14.95 each with no tax and free shipping seemed pretty
good.)
1st box: Efreeti art
Earth Titan (huge, unc)
Mighty Blademaster (rare)
Cave Bear (unc)
Cockatrice (unc)
Dwarf Warsword (unc)
Degenerate Cultist of Orcus (com)
Flamescorched Kobold (com)
Goblin Runner (com)
2nd box: also Efreeti art
Elder White Dragon (huge, rare)
Fire Giant Raider (rare)
Captain of the Watch (unc)
Eladrin Pyromancer (unc)
Fire Bat (unc)
Degenerate Cultist of Orcus (com)
Ochre Jelly (com)
Ravenous Dire Rat (com)
Anybody who's a really good "box-squeezer" may want
to note that the box with the Earth Titan had extra
cardboard all around the inside, while the box with
the White Dragon only had a diagonal cardboard brace. | |
