What do You mean randomness? I was talking about buying D&D miniatures (or not so *mini*atures) to represent specific monsters. Are You guys talking about HeroClix or a collectible card game instead?

*confused*

Of course, this is something I'm sure you're already aware of so I have to assume you were speaking of purchasing miniatures that were already "out-of-box" so you know exactly what you're getting. In that case, then the rarity of the miniature would indeed determine the price.

The only series where you knew for sure what mini you were getting was the Icon series where the Colossal Red Dragon and the Gargantuan Black, Blue and White Dragons where easily visible through the plastic "windows" on the boxes as well as the boxes being clearly labeled with what specific dragon was inside.

Being that I never played with the D&D miniatures and just collect the dragons (I'm an old school pencil & paper gamer and only use painted pewter miniatures during combat scenarios or marking the walking order of a party), I'm kind of put off that they never released a Gargantuan Green Dragon to at least complete the basic chromatic dragon set. Then move onto the five base dragons from the metallic set which would've looked really great gargantuan sized! I also wish that they would've released a Colossal Bahamut and Tiamat. They probably would've been obscenely expensive (Especially Tiamat!), however, they would've looked really cool when compared to the Huge Aspects of Bahamut and Tiamat that were released. They are, after all, deities so why not release a colossal version of each? Oh well... maybe they'll do it for the 4th Edition miniatures.

Is there anything on the bottom of these to prevent marring of the table surface (e.g. Felt feet)? We are getting a nice new table and I want to do all I can to protect it's finish, including the prevention of dings from d20s or the dice tray.

Honestly, I'm glad I watched a friend's copy before I picked up my own....which isn't going to happen now. As most of the previous reviewers have stated, "Save your money. The voice acting is fairly decent but the script writing should be "Takin' the porcelain flume ride!"

If Paizo really wanted to put their efforts into something worthwhile, pay Wolfgang Baur to do a second (magazine...I don't want the PDF) printing of Issue #'s 1 & 2 of Kobold Quarterly. I'd easily pay the $23 to have both of those issues as a magazine style release rather than waste it on a horribly done film of this legendary work fantasy.
