...and it's very cool! There are few issues w/ the paint (the wash on the rider's legs went "outside the lines"), but overall it's very good. I'm already working on a way to put it into my campaign. :)
So, thanks!

I received mine in the mail today and I'm very happy with it. I do have a couple of questions.
1) Was it supposed to come only with a Epic D&D Minis card and not a regular D&D Minis Card? I had heard rumors that some or all of the huges only had epic cards and not regular ones this set.
2) This is particular to my order, but I also ordered a back issue of the Living Greyhawk Journal and a t-shirt with this order. The invoice I received in the box the promo came in lists those items under the heading "In This Package:" but the package was way too small and did not contain either the magazine or the t-shirt. I'm assuming that they will come soon in a separate package. I'm just a little concerned since the invoice said "In This Package:" and the e-mail I received from Paizo that my order had shipped said they were all being shipped together. My order was Paizo Order #640581 and was to contain:
1 x Living Greyhawk Journal Issue #4
1 x English Doesn't Borrow... T-Shirt XXL
in addition to the promo mini I received. I think they will probably show in the next few days. If not I'll inquire with customer service.
I do want to thank Paizo for this offering this Promo. I know all the freebie maps and other extras can be costly for Paizo, but I greatly appreciate them and consider them as enhancing the value of my subscriptions.

Actually, if the invoice says "In This Package" then those items should have been in that package. I'll get those items shipped out to you ASAP.

The card that came with mine is two-sided, with Epic DDM stats on one side, and more reasonable CR 14 D&D stats on the other.

Right, but usually Epic minis (such as the Aspect of Moradin) have a lower point cost version of the D&D Minis Game stats for non-Epic play on a separate card. My Sorceror on Black Dragon is the same as yours and Torpedo's, as I suspect they all are, and I wondered the same thing. Perhaps WotC decided sorcerors and Huge dragons are just too potent to be worth less than 200 points.
Here's the thing, Huge minis are only suitable for Epic play. It's right in the rules :)

Thank you. Paizo customer service rocks!
I thought that there was only one card for this figure but I wanted to make sure.

True, and apparently a 200 point warband cannot include a creature over 140 points.
Nevertheless, it would be cool to get a buddy together and face-off the 'Sorcerer on Black Dragon' against an entire, well-costed 200 point war band (even though there might also be a problem with the Sorcerer on Black Dragon costing extra points for having to act as its own commander). I sorta got the huntch that that's what the R&D gods were toying with when they decided to make it exactly 200 points.
I'd opine on the outcome of such a duel, but I fear I'll be punted to another board!
I'll get those items shipped out to you ASAP.

I wanted to let you know that the shirt and magazine arrived in the mail today. Now my Living Greyhawk Journal collection is complete! Thank you so much. I repeat, Paizo's customer service rocks.
I see its getting close to the time to renew my subsription to Dungeon. I have no problem doing so when the quality of the product and the service that goes along with it are this good!

I love my mini.
When a friend and I split the cost of a 6-box case of "War of the Dragon Queen" minis, the first box I opened had the standard Sorc on Black Dragon. She agreed to trade, but I think she had eyes for my special limited-edition one. I put the kibosh on that notion right away!
Anyways... the repainted one still reminds me a lot of Eligos from "AoW" with some longer locks. Seems he's turned traitor and joined Ilthane!
Rambling aside, great product, prompt shipment makes me a happy gamer.
Thanks, Paizo folks.

Golbez57-how long was the "prompt shipment"? I'm trying to figure how long it's going to be before I get mine. How long did it take for your's to arrive from order to mailbox and was there other stuff on your order? thanks!
Don
The short answer is that we'll ship your mini to you as quickly as possible. The full explanation can be found here.
