Bestiary 3 Box Pawn Collection Set List
Hundreds of monsters surge to life on your tabletop! Each has its own identification number for easy sorting. The Bestiary 3 Box includes:
If you're a GM looking to save money while you build your resources, then the pawn box collections are simply indispensable. The Bestiary 3 Box features the same high quality work we've come to expect from Paizo with gorgeous illustrations, sturdy pawns and plenty of bases to keep your armies standing until the break of dawn.
This set is the one to pick up when you're looking to populate that Dragon Empires campaign that you're running. You'll find the bulk of the Oriental style creatures contained within.
I don't run Dragon Empires as yet, so I picked this one up for another rare and elusive creature - the Sasquatch! Strangely, the sasquatch art differs from the Bestiary 3 art but it looks absolutely amazing.
Your PCs will be stunned when they see the beast lumbering out of the bushes to greet them. I know mine were!
They literally stink. The pawns are great as usual but the fumes coming off of them was about enough to knock me out. I've bought all the pawn sets thus far and have never noticed this overpowering chemical smell before. I'm hoping once they air out it won't be so bad.
Your going to find a lot of very nice pawns in this box, as well as more bases. The hidden value, however, is that there are quite a few monsters in here that can be used for multiple purposes, which increases the value even more. Need a statue? There are pawns in here that can do that. Need a giant mosquito looking monster that may be similar to a particular monster from a module I won't name for spoilers sake? Yea that is in here too! The art work is great, although sizing issues will have the occasional detail missing due to the cut size, leaving some artwork on the leftover cardboard. Since this is expected and a known limitation to pawns, I will not ding the product for that. It isn't a new trait but a known sacrifice. Bottom line, if you use pawns, you want this item.
It's more pawns, with most of the small, medium, large and huge creatures of the Bestiary 3 represented.
A few omissions are understandable, like the dinosaurs or herd animals or some of the less likely to be fought huge creatures as only so many can be fit in the box. However some are rather puzzling. For some reason the Cold Rider, Kirin and Giant Sea Anemone aren't present despite being perfectly useable creatures of the appropriate size. I haven't found any other omissions yet but I haven't managed to get through the whole box.
Pity about the missing ones, otherwise this would be a solid 5.
Is this going out of print? My local game stores are no longer able to carry it, and online ones are selling it anywhere between 2-3 times as much as what it is here, and they only ever have 1-2 copies left.
I know the Bestiary 3 hardcover book was temporarily out of stock and the reprint just started shipping out this month, so will take a little while for stores to restock. I'm not aware of any issues with the pawns as they're still showing up available here.

That's what's confusing me. Apparently the distributors in Canada are having issues getting it. The two stores here say they can't even order it. Have to see what happens in the New Year.

It's definitely not out of print and should be available for distributors to order, could be they're just out and haven't restocked. Aside from ordering them directly from us (I know, Canada shipping, though our holiday discount would defray some of that) keep asking so they know there's demand, making sure the stores & distributors know it's the pawns, not the hardcover.

The hardcover's no problem. They can get that in spades. For some reason the stores here just can't seem to access it through the standard distributors. My buddy runs one of the stores, and he's going through alternate channels to bring it in. I'll be able to get it, but it took him this long to even order it. Since the other store can't get it at all, he's ordering a few of them just because it seems so strangely rare. Whatever problem the Canadian distributors are having, hopefully it works itself out. Even Chapters Books can't get it. It's no longer an option for their store or their site, but the other three Bestiary pawns boxes are perfectly accessible.
Can attest to Bestiary 3 Box being rare and overpriced in Canada. I just picked up the one and only one from my FLGS. It's sold out almost everywhere online, or priced 20-30% more than Bestiary 2 & 4 Box in stores. Bestiary 1 Box is also pretty hard to find online here as well.
Advice to anyone living in the Greater Toronto Area. Downtown is the best bet for getting Bestiary Box 1 & 3. All the other pawn boxes are usually available online.
I've checked with our Canadian distributors and the three that have replied so far all have both boxes in stock.
One potential issue with Bestiary 1 pawn box is that our product number changed from PZO1001 to PZO1001-1 when we reprinted it, so the first would show as out of print.
That doesn't apply to the Bestiary 3 pawn box (PZO1009)though, and so far I have no answer to why you're finding it hard to locate. If anyone can email me store names and distributors who don't have them I can research this further - link is on the Contact Us page.
