| | With the 23 rares in a set and no duplicates per case (or shouldnt be, but easier to happen with less rares). it seems that its almost impossible to get a full set with anything less then 4 cases, but you will end up with a ton of rares you already have. | |

| Ok, I just had to point this out [:p] I bought 1 case and 2 starters and a few singles over eBay. A couple of trades here and there and now I have a complete set [:D] last trade was agreed at 1:30am on 3/3/06, that was the fastest I have ever finished a set.
Too boot I have some cool rares left to trade later on once everyone gets their stuff settled in [)] | |

| | I love it! Where do you ever get the chance to play 3-4 of the same mini in real life? Even if it's just for fun, it'd be fun to say "I'm playing 5 Dragonnes."[:D] | |

| There are definitely several rares in this set that are worth having multiples of. There are also some great RPG rares in here. I'd have to say I'm ver impressed with the over-all usefulness of this set.

With the 23 rares in a set and no duplicates per case it is somewhat easier to get a complete set of rares than with as normal 24-rare set. | |

| Theres actually a lot of duplicates that I'm getting that I'll be very iffy on wanting to trade away.
3 Warbound impalers...dont know if I want to keep all 3, trade 1 or trade 2...
2 Large Bronze Dragons - definately keeping both
2 Aspects of Moradin - only keeping one
When my second case gets here sometime and depending on what comes form there there will be a lot of Rares I wont want to trade away... | |

| Between my case and a half, plus boosters/starters from WF, I'm still 8 rares out from completing. I also have more dupes than ever before I think at this stage in a set, suspecting just my awfulluck in pulls.
Snigs anyone....please? :-p

| Trade heavy set? Aren't they all? I don't complete sets. I only keep figures if I will use them in RPG. I started a dream case thread to see what people want the most. Of course the most popular answers were the only figures I wan't multiple copies of.
Night hags, dragonnes, large bronze dragons, ogre war hulks, they are going to be fun to trade for.
Anyone interested in 1 or 2 Archfiends hill giants. I suddenly find I don't need 7 of them anymore. | |

The damage counters are great too (I like those) they are color-themed like the starter box. | |

It was a nice D20... rolled well for a while, but then... It needed to be punished! I do like the color though. So I have a WotC white, orange, red, and now blue. I wonder what is next? | |

| | After two cases and four boosters and a starter, (Pulled an extra dragon in the starter), I only need five rares, and have tremendous trade power. My kid managed to pull the Chimera out of the last box! | |

| I have been told by another player that he got a duplicate rare in the same case. Guess distribution isn't flawless.
