I was buying up minis on ebay to fill out my monster ranks for AoW and while noticing that lizardfolk weren't exactly a bargain ($2 for one and I needed more than 20), I did find lots of bullywugs. I bought close to 30 for around $10. I plan to switch out the lizardfolk in EaBK with them. They are the same CR, so my question is: Does anyone think this will be more than just a cosmetic change to the adventure path? Just looking for input, but throwing 30 bullywug figs on the battlemat will be pretty cool. My players are fairly "old school" and I got a great response when the 6 kenku figs came out in 3FoE.

Bullywugs are an excellent choice for the adventure.
This is exactly what I was thinking about doing, for exactly the same reason. Of course, you've now cornered the market on bullywugs, so I'm probably out of luck :)
The only difference I saw was the 'wugs were CE and a little more wimpy. I was planning on having a lizardman 'ambassador' lead the heroes to the Keep instead of Allustan

I thought about the CE thing, and it actually helps push the adventure along, as the pc's now have a legitimate reason to go egg smashing near the end. I like the idea of the lizardfolk ambassador. It might help to push the "threat needs to be eliminated" concept I want. And don't worry, there are lots of bullywugs up for sale.
Can you give me a link to the bullywug sale? I remember some guy named Auggie or something had a bunch, but my search skill needs a few more ranks.
*Sigh*, if the prices of these things were uniform we wouldn't have to make these adjustments.
