The price in the My Subscriptions page is still showing up as $358.18 for me. Is this the case for anyone else? That means it's taking the 30% off the original $511.68, not the $399.99 case as per usual. I realize things are subject to change here, but I've not seen this happen before this late after announcement and before Subscriptions are generated.

This set was pushed to may by Wizkids and there isn't an "april 2019 New releases & subscription shipments" thread yet, so i guess it will be corrected early next month.
This item will most probably be part of the may subscription shipments though.While Wizkids havn't given a street date yet, may 1st or 8th seem the most likely.

The 30% will be taken off the $399 price.
I had the same concerns with my first subscription. Mine showed incorrectly until the order was created, and I breathed a sigh of relief when my price was around $280.
Good question, and it comes up frequently.

Some great minis in this set but I had more breakages than normal. I had 4 minis that needed gluing - all breaking at the clear plastic stand. This was also the first set I have had (and we got all but 1 of the sets) that I did not get a full set. Missing the Psychopomp Morrigna, which is sad as that was one I was looking forward to.

I had a similar breakage problem (two jyoti and one of the stones surrounding Pharasma. As an aside, just how long is it supposed to take for krazy glue to dry? I spent 10 minute holding it in place, and the glue still wasn't set). The distribution also seemed more lopsided than normal. I really wanted a thanadaemon, but didn't get one. I got several canopic jars, which I'm fine with, but I hope they didn't take the place of the thanadaemon. And of course, after a while I was hoping that any package that was heavy did *not* have yet another gold dragon in it.

@Bluescale
Thank you for sharing your experiences here.
I am sorry to hear about you not getting a full set, strange that both of you are missing one medium rare miniature.
You should look here on wednesday 22nd to get the missing minis:
Paizo Ruins of Lastwall page.
That's where the singles will go up for sale, on which you'll get 30% off.
I shared your stories on www.minisgallery.com and will look to get you an answer about the krazy glue question, Bluescale.
There are also fillable case report sheets on minisgallery, check it out it's hands down the best minis site on the net! ;-)

My breakages were the same. Both Jyoti and one of the stones surrounding Pharasma. I had one of the mounted Generals break at the peg as well.
As for the glue. I had no trouble with all but one Jyoti. That one was a pain to reglue. I managed to get some tape on it to hold it in place for over night and it still didn't work. However, when I went to reglue it, it took hold after 10 min and was fine. Must have been too slippery for the glue to take the first time.
I was quite surprised to see 3 gold dragons in my case.

I received my case today and it contained a complete set.
Unfortunately, two of the three Warmonger Devils in my case were broken off the base. I can glue them back on but it will be a bit tricky as the legs are not supposed to touch the base, the flight stand is the only thing supporting the miniature. Given that the flight stands split at a sharp angle near the base in both cases it will take some delicate work in order to correct this. Perhaps I will remove the flight stands and just glue the legs in place.
Also, one of my five Caligni Stalkers is missing an arm. This I cannot fix as it wasn't in the booster; it must have been disintegrated during transit.
A nice bonus is that one booster contained five miniatures, two of which were Arazni, which means I received one extra miniature in this case (and a rare one at that!).
Overall I am happy with this purchase.

got a brick and nothing came broken! thanks God. however i was under the impression that you would get a rare in each box I only got 5 rares. am i wrong in that?
You only get one large rare per brick and usually 2 small or medium rares, as there are 4 large rares and 8 medium/small rares in a set.
So if you got 5 in one brick, you are very lucky, as 3 is the norm.Nags |

I have opened two bricks of my case and have five breakages so far, all at the clear plastic peg, all from large minis in the one-size-fits-all plastic insert that doesn't appear to provide any support. It looks to me like somebody tried to save some money by reducing the number of forms for the plastic inserts. Nice try, seems to have caused a new problem.

I just received my case of this set. I don't normal post when opening a set but I felt like I needed to because this was by far the worst Pathfinder set so far. The quality was a huge drop from the previous sets. I had numerous breakages, especially the clear pegs which seem extra brittle. Conversely, for the rest of the plastic, they seemed to revert from the harder plastic to more flexible plastic which was a terrible choice for this set. So many of the miniatures are extremely bent. They should have known better knowing that the set contained a large number of miniatures with thin parts like skeletons, scythes, and banners. The paint job on many of the miniatures was also laughably poor. Not all of them. But enough to be worth mentioning. Also, someone messed up on the box art. The picture for the case incentive is a blank white square. It doesn't affect the miniatures inside but speaks towards the lower standards of the set overall. Care was clearly not put into this set.
Formian Worker - terrible paint job
Draugr - terrible paint job. bent weapon
Poltergeist - bad paint job
Velstrac Evangelist - terrible paint job
Whispering Way Cultist - bent weapon
Nosoi Psychopomp - bent stand
Formian Warrior - bent limbs. bent weapon
Jyoti - bent weapon
Lastwall Knight - bent weapon
Lastwall Paladin - banner very bent
Mohrg - legs very bent
Skeletal Samurai - bent weapons and limbs
Vanth Psychopomp - bent weapons and wings
Lastwall General - bent weapon
Nuckelavee - bent weapon
Roiling Oil - unpainted?
Scorpionfolk - multiple miniatures broken off the stand
Tomb Giant - scythe very bent
Warmonger Devil - multiple miniatures broken off the stand
Iomedae - legs and weapon bent
Urgathoa - legs extremely bent. practically face planting the ground
Whispering Tyrant - the paint job on the face is laughable. Feiya bad
Torture Rack - bent
The minis I didn't mention were okay.

That’s unfortunate because there were some miniatures I was very excited about. Anyone else got any insights into the quality?
I’ll wait until I get mine in hand but if there as bad as you say I think I’m going to end up cancelling my sub.

Just got on and I see that single miniatures are available to order. Any idea how long until these singles cannot be purchased (other than if they run out of them)? Usually its about a month (I think) and the final date used to be on the Store Blog (which doesn't seem to exist anymore).
According to the last post in this thread, single minis are available for sale from May 30th through June 27th.

My minis don't have bad paintjobs (been collecting since H&M) with the exception of the
-Formian Worker (blobs of paint)-Skeletal Soldier (faces)
-Whispering Way Cultist (face & arm)
There is however a noticeable breakage problem with both the
-Scorpionfolk and
-Warmonger Devil
Both have six legs and the clear pole breaks off easily at the bottom.
Also: Bendy weapons on quite some minis, but others of the same minis are straight.
There are some very simple paint schemes and lots of obscure creatures in the set.
Standouts are:
-10: Razmir Cultist
-16: Jyoti
-17: Lastwall Knight
-23: Skeletal Speaker
-24: Vanth Psychopomp
-26: Large Gold Dragon
Not really any 5 stars minis imo.

So, I'm relatively new to the whole miniatures subscription plan (I just decided to devote myself to this case of Pathfinder minis more or less due to the desire to have a complete collection of Pathfinder v2 merch, and I'm getting a head start). I have been swiftly glancing over the comments of this product, and while I've already purchased a case to determine for myself if this is a worthwhile long term investment, I would like to hear other voice their opinions based on their experiences.
Are cases typically faithful to actually completing a full set of minis? I've got a bit of a collector's bug, and I hate not having a complete set.
Are the minis of high quality? I'm not expecting anything like Game's Workshop, but I don't want something that looks like a knock off of a knock off.
Are the minis actually good? Everything can be of good quality, but if the minis are boring, don't look right, or just generally don't have good design, then it doesn't matter if their sculpted like the statue of David.
Are the cases worth the buy? Or just the product in general? I, again, am a collector. If there is a list and a random pick of figurines, my will shall break, and I will continue to purchase until I have my completion. It's terrible for my wallet. So, I want to make sure this is a worthwhile purchase.
I understand some of the questions may sound similar, but I want to have a thorough understanding of what I'm getting into. I just spent ~$350 to get the case + promo, and I refuse to do this again if it's not a worthwhile endeavor. Please inform me of your opinions.
Respectful Regards

Collation is excellent (I’ve bought more than 20 cases and only one was incomplete - missing one rare).
Paizo make singles available for a brief window each time a set is released, so you can probably fill any gaps painlessly (though they are pricey).
I think the sculpts are excellent - good poses, distinctive, fragile minis are rare (though they do happen).
I don’t mind the paint jobs (I’d rate them very good with the occasional poor and several excellent) but I think it’s fair to say this is where PFBattles gets the most complaints - there are a lot of people who find problematic minis in most cases. My guess is that if you don’t like the product, this is where you’ll be disappointed.
Cost per mini is excellent. If you’re purely collecting one of each and had the time and energy I suspect you’d recoup most of your cost by selling off multiples over time.
As a completionist I am very happy with the subscription.

Finally got my case. I'm rather happy with the product. I would say 10% of the figures I got had some form for deformity or another, and that they were all smaller figures that were thin or on poles. A couple were bending at unintended angles. I look forward to the next case, which is the figures for the updated version of Pathfinder.
As for the figures themselves, I set them up really quick in the classic good guys face the bad guys in epic showdown style amidst the cryptic cemetery setting that came with the case. It was then that I realized why Lastwall fell. The warriors of Lastwall were woefully outnumbered, with their only powerhouses being Iomadae and the gold dragons (who I gave to them out of pity. I had three). With two gods, of course the Whispering Tyrant blew apart the defenses. Which comes to my actual question and reason for posting this.
Where is the adventure that concerns Lastwall in the Pathfinder saga? I cannot remember if Lastwall fell prior to the Age of Lost Omens, or if it fell when Aroden died. Because the first adventure in PF2 is the adventure in Plaguestone, and one of the NPCs that can be met there is an ex-Lastwall paladin who drinks his life away in the tavern. It made it seem as though the events of Lastwall were recent, so I wanted to try and find the adventure that concerned the events that happened there. Wondered if the adventure was a scripted loss for the PCs or if it was an evil campaign.
As much as I enjoy the lore and world of Galorian (mostly because that means I don't have to do all that work myself), I have only recently gotten myself involved in it all. I realized that the world is the best to play Pathfinder in because it incorporates all the history and culture of the races and monsters in PF, as opposed to me creating a world where I have to create all of that on my own. If anyone has any answers for me, please reply. Thanks.

Wait, so if all the lore for PF2 comes from the hero's succeeding in their quests, then it is in fact a scripted loss as a whole for the heroes? In the PF2 Core Rulebook, one of the first pages gives a glimpse of the official heroes used throughout the PF series, and I'm guessing it was supposed to be this final confrontation between the Whispering Tyrant and the PCs. Once I have the money, I'll buy the adventure path, but if anyone has answers for now, they would be appreciated.

There's been some discussion about it (quite heated at times). In my view, Tyrant's Grasp suffered from the same mismatch of expectations that Council of Thieves did.
A lot of people expected CoT to be "Counter House Thrune and lead a rebellion in Cheliax!" and were disappointed - it was actually "Survive in an oppressive kingdom and foil a city-threatening threat, whilst leaving the status quo relatively unchanged."
Similarly, I think many expected Tyrant's Grasp to be the "Kill the Whispering Tyrant" AP, when it was actually "Desperately foil the Whispering Tyrant's plans when he unexpectedly breaks out of his prison".
The PCs are expected to win (in that they foil his dastardly plans) but canonically he survives (barring substantial reworking by the DM).
