Wizkids still havn't updated their release schedule for october, which is unusually late, even with taking labor day into account.

If they don't update tomorrow, i expect larger delays.
That being said, with assuming that october 25th is still the intended release date for "Maze of Death", i hope tomorrow brings a minimum of 5 computer renders to make it possible to at least see all these in the 7 weeks left before the minis are in stores. ;-)

if they dont show minis today i think they will move 25th october to november?.in 3 days it will be a whole month of no reviews

36 minis renders left to be shown in the 8 weeks till the intended release date (october 25th), makes 4.5 every week.

I´d rather have a steady weekly stream of 3 reveals (like in the first MD blog), but the 7- and 6-minis mega-previews are cool too.

22 days and still not a preview ;(.Maybe its some kind of new policy and paizo is going to follow icons of the realms steps? (i hope not but so far it seems to be like that)

The incentive is the first "dressing/object" set which i don´t like.

The Portal is cool, as is the sarkophagus.
The giant stone face is cool for ToH & ToA and okay without.

The tiles are meh and the potions, sword, shield, scrolls & skull are way to small to be used in a game - once they fall from the table they are gone forever.

I would rather have an incentive with two HUGE minis (like the Elementals in Maze of death) or a more useful scenery (ship with sails, cannons & rowboat or a wizards tower).

Glad to see that im not the only one that thinks this is the worst set in icons of the realms line...(generally i think that PBM are a lot better than d&D ones and i started as a d&d fan).Also, bad thing about my country is that there are no bundles or pricks or something like that but they sell each box or minis individually, so i cherry pick miniatures that i really like or need (in my country they bring miniatures sets 3 weeks after official realease date). As far as i have seen the only miniatures i barely like are Artus,Tabaxi and minsc?and im not sure for the premium case because the items included in it are for one purpose, is not like a table that u will use it in almost any circumstances also as i dm i 'humanize' my campaign that means i rarely use monsters or i use them in a way that the campaign doesnt feel like 'ooh its the new monster that we dont know his powers and we must solve the mystery to kill it' but its more like:'The duke Bernadus(?) betrayed the Holy One (an order in my campaign) officer and he managed to capture the Hill Fort with the orc tribes of Black Marshes which are leading the Five Wizards': So maze of death will not be my best set because i dont like premium (no use for me) and has many creatures that i will not use in my entire life (i will buy though any ratfolks,ulat kini or other races).Monster and creatures fit into players that loved heroes of horror (3.5 edition) , but im fan of heroes of battle :))

Just opened my case. I think it's one of the stronger sets. Still not a fan of dungeon dressing incentives, but I did like the sarcophagus/altar thing. The large monsters in particular were a great selection, imo.

I´m getting 2 bricks and the incentive tomorrow.

What minis did you like best and which ones not at all?

Here is also a triple news-article with pictures of Wizkids unpainted miniatures wave 4, coming in november 2017 (D&D, Pathfinder & Wizkids own brand):

Unpainted minis

Some of them have already been released in earlier sets as prepainted versions, some others may be in upcoming sets.

What´s pretty cool imo, is that the unpainted dressing stuff (D&Ds Adventurer´s Camp, Pathfinders Rusty Dragon Inn bar & the new stuff from Wizkids) could also be used as relatively cheap props for people with small budgets.

Hey Marco, do you know if some of the unpainted which remain unreleased will be in next or upcoming sets?(i really would like to see those 2 reclamation units prepainted)

Gentlemen, there are plenty of other sites that discuss all lines of miniatures and even post comparison pictures. Perhaps you might take this conversation to one of them so you don't have to live in fear of being redacted. I really like PlastiCrypt.

ty for the link, very useful to me as im new in miniatures (1,5 year) and i need to learn more ;D

Off-Topic a little, sorry:

Mike, it would be great if we could get a Starfinder minis preview (which doesn't replace the Pathfinder one) sometimes in the near future, because the versions of the computer renders on certain pre-order sites are very low res and because people should of course be able pre-order them from Paizo (some don't even know there will be miniatures), even if their ETA is october -december.
Thank you. :-)

WARNING OFF TOPIC TOO

Before they delete my comment again, how do you find the tomb of annihilation minis and the premium case?

Only eleven weeks till the release date, in my opinion this will be one of the best "monster" sets of them all, especially the case incentive of a huge (3x3) Air & a huge Water elemental warrant a case order.

Hi Marco, do you have any idea about the date they may preview some more miniatures??

does anyone know why they havent previewed all the miniatures yet?

Because they want the blind boxes to contain some surprises for the people who buy them? :-)

i agree with u, but they just didnt do it like that before!!i was checking every single day last 2 weeks to see the rest of them but nothing..and im a bit disappointment about the quality and the miniatures, only descent seems (to me) to be minsc and boo,tabaxi? and artus simber.

does anyone know why they havent previewed all the miniatures yet?wizard's site has 26th July as the release date of the 7th set, so in 24 hours is supposed to be the official releash ;PP!!!

What are your wishes/expectations?

I just with they have descent dungeon dressing this time...totem, grave momentum and lectern were not my best deal.Dwarves and maybe one order...i dont really care about monsters that i will meet once per 3 years in my campaigns so i need more miniatures that i will have a use of them!!have a question too...why they didnt show up with new minis??

I sure LOVE all three newly revealed large ones:

Roughly every 2 days atm.

There are also 2 more pictures up on Wizkids twitter page now.

Until now i have nt seen anything cool like monster menagerie 1...i mean neither the paintjobs seem cool anymore..the elf fighter seems not that good..his face..face colour..his armor paints...only bullywug and the orcs seems quite decent.And one last thing...im full of agony because im waiting for another epic dwarf mini like larethar gulgrin from the 4th set

I agree that MM2 seems to stay behind MM so far. Out of the 23 previewed minis so far i like only 8:

I ordered 2 bricks and the incentive, that should be enough.

MM had only 10 out of 44 regular minis (not counting the 10 invisibles) that i didn´t like (i already don´t like 9 from MM2).
Assuming that MM2 has the same distribution (which is pretty much given), we have now seen 52% (23 of 44) of the set.

There seems to be a preview every tuesday from Wizkids and every thursday from the Neverwinter twitter account plus irregulars.

Do u think they gonna have a dwarf in MM2 or...?because every set apart from this had at least a dwarf

It's a little irregular.

Roughly every 2 days atm.
