ok - I see it back up on the website now, but I don't see AMEX as a payment option?
We do not take AMEX on Paizo.com.
The brick/booster/incentive should no longer display as "unavailable." We've also updated the product image and can announce that singles can now be purchased here!

Thx Chris.
Where are King Irovetti and Feiya?
Are they included?
Looking at the pictures that Paizo has posted looks a little better than the ones that Miniature Market posted and gives me some hope. Although "most" of them look good, there are still a handful of the minis that are painted inexcusably bad. The Dwarf Wizard is horrible! The Graceful Slayer is almost as bad. Many of the eyes are placed ridiculously far apart or are just little black dots. Will they EVER learn how to do a wash? They constantly keep using a thick black solution on every color, you should wash with a thin solution of a darker shade of the same color, NOT BLACK!The point of a wash is to add detail, not make the mini look dirty, as the thick black wash does. I was REALLY looking forward to the riding horse, but if the one I receive looks like the one advertised, they just slapped the paint on. Hopefully, the Gnome Wizard not getting its boot painted is a one time mistake and the ones we receive have their boots painted. Aside from my complaints, there are many minis in this set that are VERY NICE! I am happy with most of them, it is just that the few that are bad are VERY BAD. The inconsistency confuses me, how can some be done really good while others are embarrassingly horrible? Have my fingers crossed that the case I receive looks good and that they are better than the advertised pictures.
I am HIGHLY curious to know if the Paizo staff is happy with the quality of this set. I don't know if they are going for honesty, disclosure, or to showcase the inferior job that WizKids did, but going through the pictures they posted of the singles, nearly every picture is flawed, whether it's by bad paint jobs, parts that they forgot to paint, bad washing, or poor glueing of the bases. I give Paizo a huge thumbs up for posting honest pictures of the minis and not just showcasing the best examples. At least I hope these aren't the best examples ;) Paizo, you need to kick WizKids in their butts, you guys are such an amazing company and they keep giving you an inferior effort.

While i have to agree that a lot of the human and dwarven faces - especially the eyes - look bad on the pictures, i'll reserve my judgement until i hold them in hand in february.
It would not be fair otherwise.
That being said the Silver Dragon and Flesh Golem look great on every picture!
Also the pictures can not show all details - in particular the Quivering Cube, which is half clear and contains a skull and other stuff on the inside.

It's released here in Quebec. Just took a brick and the bar.How is the quality?
Does 1 booster contain 6 minis (King Irovetti and Feiya) as promised?
Thx to Canada.
I opened my boxes quickly before going to bed and havent had the time for a deep look but the quality is not that bad at first look.
And sadly my brick have no Irovetti or Feiya, maybe it's one per case, but IIRC, they said one per brick.
We will know when someone open a complete case...

One per brick, according to this. ^_^

Just opened my case and it seems that it is one King Irovetti and Feiya per case. Unless I just got very unlucky.
latest miniatures blog where?

Oh, *that* blog. Thanks, Kalindlara. :-)
Is there a list somewhere of what's supposed to be in this set?

I love Kor´s site but if you want a look at real production minis and want to see them in the right order i´d suggest going to this site:

"Very Rare"?
Are the dressing pieces produced at a higher rarity than other rares in the set?

"Very Rare"?
Are the dressing pieces produced at a higher rarity than other rares in the set?
Hello Hobbun.
All 6 Dungeon Dressings are labeled as "very rare" on the site because they usually are one per case.
Of course that is not entirely correct, as there seem to be 2 crates and 2 barrels per case.
On the other hand one brick usually contains 2 large rares (and 6 uncommons).
That means in a case you should get 8 large rares.
As there are 4 different large rares per set you get some of them twice.
That is not the case with the wagon, cart, bed and table. These should be one per ser aka "very rare".
That means on the other hand the barrel and crate could be labeled "rare" as they are twice per case.
My case had at least one of every mini. Here was the breakdown of the case:
1 super box with Feiya and King Irovetti in it.
1 cart, wagon, bed, barrel.
2 tables, crate
The following are numbered by set number on mini. Rares are high numbers in set.
5 x mini no. 7 and 8
4 x mini no. 2, 4, 6, 9-12, 21, 27, 30 and 32
3 x mini no. 1, 3, 5, 13-20, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 31
2 x mini no. 22-24 and 34* (note, this box contained a bag with two of same figure in the same small bag. As its a rare, I think it was a packing error.)
1 x mini no. 33, 35-44.
Honestly, from what I am seeing, it doesn’t sound like the dressing pieces are at any higher rarity than the other rares. As there are other rares (besides the dressing pieces) that only have 1, and there are dressing pieces that have more than one.
Vic posted a comment awhile back that Paizo are not using that terminology. As I understood it, the distribution wasn't identical to the other rates as it was a little more deterministic, but it was functionally the same (ie we should expect at least one per case and possibly two, barring collation error).

Every Pathfinder Battles case i opened so far (3) had 8 LARGE rares in it.
As there are 4 different LARGE rares (Gelatinous Cube, Mercane, Silver Dragon, Orc on Worg) plus 2 LARGE Dungeon Dressings (Cart and Wagon), there SHOULD be 2 LARGE rares that are in it TWICE.
Otherwise it would seem to me that the rarity has changed.
PS: Eric said in a friday blog that there are probably 2 crates and 2 tables (or barrels i forgot) per case.

Right. Neither Paizo nor WizKids has used the term "very rare" or "super rare" in connection with these minis—if you see that, some fan came up with that tag, and it has no basis in the actual distribution method used by WizKids. Frankly, I feel that it's use is just plain misleading. You should see set dressing pieces in roughly the same proportion as rares in each case of minis, which is to say 1 or 2 of each per case. (They're not technically rares because they sometimes appear in uncommon slots, but they're not significantly more or less rare than rare.)

I cracked my personal case last night, and got a somewhat different mix of dungeon dressing:
1 cart, wagon, barrel, table
2 beds, crates

Www.miniscollector.com uses the term "very rare".
I don't know on what they base that term .Wizkids actually uses the term "ultra rare" but to be fair only in conjunction with the invisible versions of their D&D minis NOT with the Pathfinder Battles line.
You are most likely right that there is no great difference between the number of Dungeon Dressing pieces or other rare minis.
If there is it is probably due to packing coincidences.
GRRR! This is way off topic, but nothing makes me angrier in the miniature collecting world than the D&D ultra rare invisible minis. I like them and they are cool, but the distribution and price of them is criminal. They take the exact same mold and plastic that they use for the cheap commons, then just skip painting them, then make them so rare that they are sold for insanely greedy fortunes as singles. Perfect example of WizKids left unchecked and Paizo's superior products compared to this day's D&D inferiority. Anyways, sorry for the rant, but the D&D invisibles really tick me off.

It would be cool if the Pathfinder Iconics would have some invisible versions.
But either at the normal "rare" rarity or as a boxed set for $25 - as they need no paint applied to clear plastic.I also would love to see an "enlarged Valeros" mini.
The "artifical" value created by rarity doesn't bother me. I am surprised we haven't seen any 'enlarged' minis though (or I haven't anyhow).
I picked up three boosters this evening at the FLGS to check out the quality and I have to say I am happy with what I got. Nothing looked smeared or problematic (unlike some of the photos online I've seen). The crate was a little smaller than I expected for some reason -- about the size of a large d6 -- but I'm not sure why I thought it would be bigger. All in all I'll be going back for more or ordering a case.

The Gelatinous Cube has been rated 5 stars!
I want to see more reviews!
I want to know if you can put minis in it, like the old D&D gelatinous cube. The old D&D one doesn't look as cool as this one and if this one holds minis, it will be amazing.
Nope. Can't put minis in the cube. It's nicely done though.
I received my case today. From the previews I felt this might be the best set ever, and the case did not disappoint! Excellent paint jobs over all, and no botched faces.
I did have one of my four City Watch Commanders missing her bow. One of the Pious Guards and Feiya popped off their bases, but Superglue fixed that. The paint jobs on Fieya and the King's faces were better, but it is obvious that the sculpts lack detail and that even though the paint jobs are the best that can be done on the minis, the detail on the faces is shallow, so paint only goes so far in fixing the problem.
The dungeon dressing is great. I got two beds, two crates, and one of each of the rest. The bar incentive is very cool, but we need more tables and stools!

Thx for the info, Vernon!
Can you tell me how many squares the bed occupies on a flip-mat - is it 1 broad and 2 long or a little smaller?
The same with the cart and wagon mini.
Thx

When i think of it:
2 beds and 2 crates in a case makes the most sense because with the 2 barrels and 1 table in the Rusty Dragon Inn Bar case incentive one should ultimately have:
3 barrels
2 beds
2 crates
4 stools
2 tables
1 cart
1 wagon
1 keg
Together with some of the "Blue Bed" repaints that should make a cozy little Inn.
The only minis i see "sitting" on the stools are gnomes and halflings and the occassional goblin. ;-)

From the recent posts I’ve been reading on frequency of the dressing items, this is what I was getting the impression. And that is there is no higher rarity with the dressing pieces.
The numbers I’ve been seeing is actually very similar to what I saw with my dressing pieces in my Dungeons Deep cases.
If I get at least one of each, with the occasional two of a dressing item, in a case, I will be happy with that. Which is exactly what I received in Dungeons Deep.
Now we just need some chairs for those tables. :)
Thanks for clarifying, Vic.
Just received email notification yesterday that my Rusty Dragon Inn cases (well, at least one of the two) will be mailing out this week. Both case incentives are part of this first shipment, though.
Thx for the info, Vernon!

The bed is a bit larger than 2 squares long x 1 square wide.

Thx for looking, Vernon!
Is there still enough room for medium minis/bases in the adjacent squares?
May be my map is bigger but I just pulled out my flip mat and the bed fits almost perfectly in 1x2 squares. It's a little smaller with small portion on all sides if you center the bed in the 1x2 squares.

The Gelatinous Cube mini is glued to its base so you'd have to mod it to be able to place a mini inside of it. However it does already have a second piece within it that has a skeleton and some gear in it so when you look at the mini, you can see the remains of an adventurer inside of it. Pretty kewl if you ask me.
