This may be stating the obvious, but along with the cool minis that are produced, this regular preview post is something I enjoy and look forward to - I pick up ideas of how to incorporate the minis into story lines, I get a better idea of what some of the Pathfinder specific characters & monsters are, and I get a to look at the upcoming minis. This marketing approach works wonders on me. I thank you for continually providing this fun look ahead and for making it easier to carry a lighter wallet.
3 for 3 this week for me! And of the now 12 known, I'm sure I want 11 (and possibly all 12). The frost giant ice mage is a great concept and it looks to be a great design, too. The orc dire wolf rider looks pretty sweet, too. The Guard is an always welcome addition - very useful and practical. Thanks for another great preview!
I just looked at some of the advertisements on the websites and noticed it had advertised as a 55 piece set. "This 55-figure set for the Pathfinder Battles miniatures line features friends and foes from the Pathfinder Adventure Path, Reign of Winter, and is offered in standard booster bricks containing one Large figure and three Medium or Small figures" Oh well. Must have been a recent change at Wizkids or Paizo to reduce that number. I wonder what the other 10 sculpts would have been?
The most immediate disappointment in my mind is that the current set will be 45 sculpts. I did do an early bird pre-order from another site with the thought that this would be 55 sculpts. I don't know if that's how many was advertised for this RoW, but I guess I had grown accustomed to the past few sets that had 55 and expected it. The announcement that it was 45 after I placed my order means I will get less than I had hoped for numbers wise. Once I receive the case, see the quality of the minis, and decide how many of each makes sense to keep, it'll help determine whether ordering cases is the way to go in the future or whether the secondary market for singles makes more cents. |
