$80 for 8 standard size minis?!?!?! That's complete insanity!!!
Been buying P.F. minis forever. I have every complete set.
But if this is the way the prices are going, GOODBYE P.F.!!!
@Brell Stormforge, I feel that the concern that this is overpriced for "standard size minis" might be misplaced. While a decent-quality $10 pre-painted medium-sized mini is a fair price... that's not even the price spread.
Of the eight minis listed, one of them (Ulgrem-Axaan) is a Large creature from Monsters of Myth, so that mini is presumably also Large. Further, a different one of them (Thrasfyr) is a Huge creature from Pathfinder Bestiary 2, so that mini is presumably also Huge.
Let's look at some prices from the most recent random-pack set of pathfinder minis, The Mwangi Expanse. The list price of the Huge Mamlombo mini is $40, and the Huge Adult Cloud Dragon mini is $50. These are both minis you have to buy individually. Uncommon-rarity Large minis from that set have an individual list price of $8, and Rare-rarity Large minis from that set have an individual list price of $16.
By comparison, a single standard booster for Mwangi Expanse is able to be $20 despite having four minis, three medium/small and one large, because... you never know what you're going to get, and there's no guarantee you'll get what you want or even anything rare.
So then, let's do some math on this box set. You're getting exactly what it shows you, no guesswork, no "booster pack" effect that incentivizes the lay consumer to buy over and over. But to be generous, we'll estimate the price of the Huge and Large minis as the mean of the prices of the aforementioned Huge and Large minis.
So you're not spending $10 per standard-size mini. You're spending $45 dollars on a Huge mini, $12 on a Large mini, and $4.50 on each of the other minis.
Check out the 3rd of 6 new box sets that support the upcoming release of Impossible Lands this November: Pathfinder Battles: Impossible Lands – Impossible Foes.
I'm curious about the inclusion of the Thrasfyr here. They're powerful fey without much existing lore, and I can't think of much existing fey stuff in the region other than Bhopan's inhabitants.
