They’ve been up for awhile, Check the link from the store blog.
Pitborn fighter is sold out here, but I bought a bunch on eBay for 2.50 :D
8 think this is one people are stocking up on because it’s a rank and file tie fling mini featured in a ton of adventure paths.

The elemental mixup is my fault. I misremembered which Elementals were in this set when building my Paizocon presentation and accidentally included the water elemental.
Rest assured, the water elemental WILL appear in an upcoming set.
Hey Erik, it´s great to have you back here offering your thoughts!
No big deal with the Water Elemental - we´ll get it next year. ;-)
Is there still a "scenery" incentive planned for the next Pathfinder Battles set?
A "walls and doors" set or a modular "Wizards Tower" would be great sellers imo.
You´re probably reluctant to do sets including huge minis in boosters for all kinds of (good) reasons (booster size, changing set composition, sales), but will there ever be an Aboleth?
It´s very probably the most often requested huge mini that has never been made into ppm (besides the Water Elemental) and at CR 7 multiples of it (organization: brood (3-6)) would be useful.
As far as dressing repaints go:
barrels, cages, crates & (round) tables seem to have been the most popular sellers.
I´d still like that grey stone fireplace variant, but let´s see what sells best. ;-)
Odd, if you follow the path from the left sidebar (Miniatures --> Prepainted Plastic --> the "Singles" box), which is the usual path I follow for singles, you don't see them, at least I don't, even now.
But, of course it was in the Store Blog, blindy me :)

Rotolord ninja'd me by 6 minutes (from when I started typing, at least) for the exact same observation - the link from the blog is good, but there is no link in the usual place for Singles.
Also - has anyone gotten their hands on the set dressing to tell which are being packaged in place of Large minis? Our local "Sealed Case Draft" will be happening soon and not knowing which ones count as Large vs Medium is throwing my spreadsheet off a tiny bit.
Thanks very much in advance, and I am so very much looking forward to getting my hands on these! :)
Are there any female tieflings in ANY of the sets?
*needs to find one for a character he's building*

The fireplace is the most useful piece, as it also includes a campfire & wood pile.
@CanisDirus:
Heres a picture of all dungeon dressings.
As you can see by the packaging, the fireplace definetly replaces a large mini, as does the portcullis (which unfortunately seems to be bended and warped in every single case i´ve seen).
The altar, fountain & Knight statue replace a medium miniature.
I can´t really be 100% sure about the barred door, but normally only two of the six dressing pieces replace a large mini in a case, so i´d guess it replaces a medium mini despite being something between medium and large.
I hope i could help you. :-)

-The Bloodstained Altar would also make most sense if it was 2 squares long and 1 square broad, so a medium mini can be layed on it.
It will probably not displace a large mini though, as it isn´t that massive.
I agree that this is more of a Medium as well. You can definitely put a Medium figure on top of the altar standing up as normal, though. I just did it a few minutes ago!
You could also be super-devilish and just put it
upside down to place a medium mini on it. ;-)

Both the door and the altar displace a large mini. You can put a medium mini on the altar, but the mini will likely be too long for it to stay within the altar limit. It should not fall though if placed properly.

You did, very much so! Thank you!!

You´re probably reluctant to do sets including huge minis in boosters for all kinds of (good) reasons (booster size, changing set composition, sales)...That sort of decision is up to WizKids, not Paizo.
Thank you for the reply, Vic. :-)
I guess Wizkids is focussing more on huge minis being part of their D&D minis (the upcoming Monster Menagerie 3 being the 2nd set to include huge minis), but as i remember it, Paizo pitches minis ideas to them and they either okay them or don´t. ;-)
As i have come to know the Wizkids minis team, they won´t change anything in the booster composition by themselves.
It´s a little unfortunate that D&D 5 has huge miniatures available in their boosters, but Pathfinder only had them in their 2nd set... ;-(

you just need to take a little of the top and it will fit nicely.

Occasionally, we go to WizKids with a specific idea for a new format, but the way it normally works is that WizKids comes to us and says "we want to do a product with this format." We might occasionally have suggestions about to how to modify that idea, but usually we just say, "okay—here are the minis we think should be in it."

That's simply not the case. For example, we had always wanted to do dungeon dressing with them, and had talked about a lot of ways to do it, but the current system for distributing them into boosters was largely their plan. And though we've offered up a ton of ideas for case incentives, they're almost always the ones saying "With *this* set, we'd like to do a 2-pack of Huges," or "with *this* set, we'd like to do a Gargantuan," or "with *this* set, we'd like to do a playset plus a handful of single minis."
It´s a little unfortunate that D&D 5 has huge miniatures available in their boosters, but Pathfinder only had them in their 2nd set... ;-(
When they want to try something new (or retry something they haven't done for a while), they might choose the Pathfinder Battles line to try it out on, or they might choose any of their other lines. For example, they brought the Builder series concept to the Battles line only after they had success with it in a couple of their HeroClix lines. If WizKids thinks that putting Huges back into Battles boosters is a good idea, we'll be happy to give them a list of minis to do (and they know that). But that is entirely a business decision for them to make.
Wow, is the Air Elemental Lord big! And Heavy. Both Elemental Lords complete their respective element lines nicely. I did an inventory of all the Air and Fire elementals I had, and the ones in each size category for PFB all go together so well. And, I had no idea there have been so many elementals made between D&D and Pathfinder. I’m looking forward to the Earth and Water Lords when they eventually come out.

Thank you for taking the time to reply so thoroughly, it´s very much appreciated.
It really clarifies some issues for me.
Have a great weekend, Vic!
