I've hidden the thread. I've got no problem if someone has spoilers, but I'd much prefer the WOTC folks to answer the question first. The dates on the pictures are from 3/20 or so I think (if I can make out the date stamp).

Oops! Looks like someone got pics of masters in China perhaps? The joys of the internet.

IF those are all accurate it makes me wonder. Half the models are recognizeable to me(and very encouraging), but the other half leave me thinking, "WTF are they?"

That was my concern. Spoilers this far out just smells funny....

I really would like to release the thread but these pictures are obviously from a non-kosher source. I've emailed the WOTC staff and asked them what they want me to do.

I'm a big fan of spoilers, etc. but I know someone, somewhere likely signed something with all kinds of legal-speak saying they wouldn't distribute these, etc.

Of course, if enough folks have seen these the WOTC folks may decide the cat's out of the bag and we can go ahead and distribute them. If they popped up here they will be in someone's browser cache ... I think a dozen-to-twenty people here viewed them ... the person who posted them still has them ... etc. They may just keep cropping up and we'd have no way to stop them, etc.

Yeah, that's why I kept my first post generic. I saw, but don't feel right telling details until more is known.

Curse my fleshy body, I wasn't fast enough ... [)]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see them myself, but I think Maxminis should keep the lid on these pictures to the best of its ability until such time as WotC approves their release, or they have been passed around enough that the cat can't even see the bag anymore, much less be in it.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't want to get the maxminis crew in trouble in any way. I do understand Chris' actions. I'm just pissed that I was to late see the pics before they got hidden. I simply want to see them now I know that they are out there.

Yup, in no way I want this site to get in trouble so no showing them here unless wotc aproves; but the pics ARE out there already, it just takes a bit of work to get them but as are out there nonetheless. So might as well get hosted someplace else for those that want to take a look.

If you have them send me an e-mail pls.

No taunting. Well, not alot of taunting. Some of the pictures are VERY enlightening.

And sorry guys, I'm not trying to be a spoil-sport but with a leak this early of a good quarter of the pics, I'm fairly certain something non-kosher is going on.

Yeah Glumag, I'm not sure how long they will stay hidden. I'm pretty sure a web savvy person can find them and who knows if the original poster (who only had a single post) will repost them somewhere.

Anyway, I'm hoping for some guidance from the wizard's folks. I know there were a number of folks chatting about these early AM and have them in their cache, etc. I fear the cat is out of the bag but I'm not going to reopen the thread unless the wizards folks tell me it's ok.

I can't control the world / police the world. What I can do is make sure that the environment here is a strong, healthy community with WOTC involvement ... and that means playing nice and fair when something jumps up like it did this morning.


If they show up some other place, they show up.


I would ask that the MaxMinis members who do have these in their cache, etc. to not simply repost them as I'll have to put the kaibosh on that thread as well. There are at least a handful of folks (non-mods, non-admins) that I know who have them ... but hopefully they will remain discrete until we hear back from WOTC.

If they aren't D&D Minis they look just like a bunch of monsters, etc. in the sourcebooks ... you've either got someone making D&D Minis out of your source material or leaking pics early.



I'm *so* glad you were around this AM to respond. You're scaring me a bit with the TPK mode though ... do all halflings have that feature? Is that a racial feature, similar to rage?

Well, the leak has to be on your side as some of the pics even have chinese characters on them. I would venture to guess that no fan has access, this early, to any pictures that are supposedly, of minis still on production unless they work at the source.

One thing I gotta say tho, it is making me want to ADD cases [:D]
