| How many cases of WarDrums is everyone getting?? After the massive release of all the black and white pictures, my wife insisted that we get a third case. I am hoping that I get the third case in the second wave, in order to draw out the opening process.

| Just two for me. With the odd booster coming from limited events and random visits to the FLGS.
I like your idea of drawing out the opening process. It's one of the most enjoyable parts of the hobby.

| Your WIFE suggested you pick up a third case??? Malin Lug, you've got yourself a winner of a spouse!
To answer your question--Two cases of War Drums for me, plus trading here or buying on ebay to finish the set. | |
The man who thinks he can, and the man who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you? | |

Yeah... she is a gamer. I let her do all of the mini trading, but she has a hard time letting go of some of the pieces. I keep hearing, "Why don't we just hold onto those extra Balors, Beholders, Drizzit etc... until the next set comes out and we can trade them then." | |

| I'll probably go with my usual 2+. I usually get two cases sealed, and then pick up about a case worth at random times.
I'll end up supplementing that with a trade or two and some ebay. | |

| | I preordered two cases of War Drums. Once I see what I got in those, and how much I like the individual minis in the set when viewed up close, I'll decide if I want to get another case (unlikely), more boosters (possible), or just fill in any gaps with singles off ebay or online single mini stores (most likely). | |

| Zero cases. Just 18 total singles (with 3 of them being HGBs, and only one rare AOH). Will probably pick up one starter for the maps, unless I see someone offering them on EBay cheap.

| 3 cases, 2 starters, plus booster and booster+starter at pre-release, plus boosters from sealed tourneys once a month.
Which means ill have lots to trade for all those people getting just one case and trading for the rest... | |

| | Only one for me. Lot of pieces that duplicate minis from sets one through eight and I didn't see enough of the set before I had to put my preorder in. I may actually break down and get a starter and a couple of boosters especially since my FLGS is having a moving sale. | |

| There will be financially challenged maxmini members looking on in envy as certain people talk of how many cases as opposed to how many boosters.
The interesting thing in this thread is that someone has a spouse who is at least as committed to D&D minis as he is. That is great.

This time I'm getting 2 cases instead - to have some of the excitement of opening boosters again. You get NONE of that from a completed set [:D] | |

So true..
I wasn't going to buy a case.. I'm hesitant. Low on cash and I need to make some room for more minis. :p | |

| I never order more than one case and this set is no different.
I will probably get another case from sealed events and individual booster purchases, another case or two from the Qualifiers (hopefully), and will buy singles to fill out my collection (especially 6 zakya and 3 night hags)
