I just received my Shattered Star Case. I think the quality has actually improved from the Runelords set. This is a great set!

After opening just three bricks in the case I am only missing 4 miniatures for a complete set.

Only 2 breakages in total. Caedimus (#1) popped of the base and Grey Maiden (#21) with both legs broke off the base and floating around the package.

Great line, very excited. Looking forward to what comes next

I really like Shattered Star miniatures. Sculpts are better than with Heroes&Monsters and paint job is even better than with Rise of the Runelords miniatures. Really nice job by WizKids and Paizo to come up with high level miniatures like these. I bought one brick and got very nice set of figs. Not everything I needed (it is "just" a brick) but many rare figures made me very happy as those often are ones that I'll really need. My good luck continued with two boosters, more rare figs! Nice to see that rare figures aren't too rare.

Still I have to say that you need to improve your packing. Brick had many figures loose but nothing was broken which I consider being pure luck as golem, fire giant and wyvern were all loose in their boxes. Both boosters had their large miniatures loose and one shriezyx had two broken legs because of that. I managed to glue them back but that could have been avoided with better packing.

All in all: nice miniatures with very good paint job. Some figs might be broken by larger ones but that isn't end of the world. I recommend these miniatures to all whom plan to run Shattered Star AP and of course to miniature collectors. One question remains: how will WizKids and Paizo make even better miniatures than these?

These are probably the most impressive miniatures Paizo has put out yet. If you keep improving your miniatures, you're going to make your older sets look drab! ;)
The elementals were by far my favourites in this set. I love the poses, I love the paint job. I also love that they released one of each core medium sized elemental and one of each core large sized elemental, instead of spreading them over multiple releases.
Another comment I'd like to make is the dramatic difference between rares and Uncommon/Commons in this set. Paizo definitely got their count right with this set!

Out of 2 Cases, I got 4 breakages in total. 2 Medium Air elementals that pooped of their bases, a wyvern that popped off its base, and a Koriah Azmeren who lost an arm (Boyfriend glued it back on for me. What a nice guy).

I'm just going to repeat suggestions I've heard that I think are great for preventing breakages in the future:

1. Twist tie ALL the larges into place.
2. Consider putting a 'barrier' between the large and medium/small miniatures in the package

One last thing I'd like to mention: I'm not sure how so many people are getting breakages AFTER they get their miniatures. In the time I've used Pathfinder Battles miniatures (Since the release of The 4 piece Iconic pack) I have had a total of one breakage (Seoni lost an arm after I decided to bring her to a PFS game for another player. Had it coming). Granted, I am also more careful with the fragile pieces (succubus with wings, skeletons, etc). I also make a point not to play in concrete floored areas or places where dropping them could break them.
So personally, I DON'T want Paizo to sacrifice detail for more durability. I don't need my miniatures to be DDM bendy.

I can't wait to see the releases for the next set. I'm sure they're just going to blow us away :)

I also Ordered 2 Gargantuan Blue Dragons, Which showed up completely fine.

I concur with the other reviewers. I've not opened all of my case yet, but I've had one broken figure, and, more importantly, the Blue Dragon arrived with all of its horns broken off. In the 10 years or so of ordering plastic minis online, or in stores, I've never had any arrive broken until now. Also, when I contacted paizo support about the dragon, including an image of it, I heard nothing from them for two full business days. Actually had to call them, and the support person's response was, if it came broken, you have to send it back to WizKids. So I've done that, with no guarantee I'll get the blue dragon back. Not the kind of service/quality I've come to expect from paizo.

Update 130209: Add Boggard Bits to the list of broken figures. A rogue Hill Giant in a box smashed both hand on the Boggard in the box. Nearly every large figure that was not twist-tied down was loose in this case.

Update 130311: Got the replacement Blue Dragon direct from WizKids for the broken one I sent back. The replacement Blue Dragon only had one small horn broken off. It will be easier to super-glue or expoxy the dragon back on to its base, though, as it was only glued on to one peg and the one connected peg broke when I removed the dragon from the plastic.

I've had numerous complaints about pre-painted plastics over the years which have so far prevented me from buying unopened boosters. While Shattered Star still hasn't met the requirements for me to consider buying them blind, it's certainly heading in the right direction.

I purchased a set of air and water elementals, a few trolls, an alchemical golem and a glass golem. Judging by the quality of these, I can say that Shattered Star may contain some of the best sculpts I've seen on plastic minis yet. Though many are condemning hard plastic as the cause of breakage, I’ll be firmly embracing it if it means sculpts like these will be common place in future sets. Fixing a broken leg is possible with a bit of glue and a pin if necessary (though the small legs of the alchemical golem that arrived broken will prove frustrating to reattach). Fixing a sculpt that lost all of its detail to soft plastic is impossible.

As a GM, I want impressive monster miniatures to enhance my game, and have little/no desire for NPC miniatures, which tend to lose a good deal in the mass production process. This is my principle reason for not wanting to buy boosters. While it looks like this still holds mostly true for the humanoid minis in the set, some of the Shattered Star monster minis present the first cases where the extra expense and effort involved with a metal mini would not necessarily result in a significantly better miniature. I find the troll champions to be particularly well done, with clear definition in all of the details, use of a gloss on the tongue to make it look wet, and a presence on the base that is sure to make for a striking reveal when placed alongside the PCs miniatures.

The clear plastics present in the elementals and golems are a “clear” reason to purchase them over metal paint-it-yourself variants. The effect is incredible, especially in the alchemical golem, even if its overall size was a little underwhelming in person. Side by side, the large air elemental and the large water elemental appear a little too similar in color, with the air elemental being tinted a little too blue, and the water elemental being highlighted with a little too much white. I’d imagine that individual runs of these will have some variation though, so the colorization issue wouldn't affect my decision to buy. All in all, these are minor complaints in the face of an overall firmly positive impression.
