The Stuff From MegaMinis is not pre-painted, and most of MegaMinis stuff is metal not resin. Only the newly aquired line of old Grendel products are Resin (they are also not prepainted). There are only a few Pre-painted lines out threre. Dwarven Forge is the best for quality and price.
MK and DF are the only two i really know of off the top of my head. But MK's line up of items (which are now out of production) is far smaller than that of DF. MK came out with two packs of things for fantasy, and 2 for modern, and DF is continually expanding there line of prepainted items. While it is a bit pricey the quality is well worth it, and for me the savings on time.
I tend to also use "toys" as addations to terrain, and that is the only other stuff that is really pre-painted. Some of the stuff like Heroscape terrain items, and other toys are in some cases pre-painted (and can be very cheap). Unless you count cardstock which isn't painted in the first place, but other than the custruction time required there are no painting skills needed and they can be quit sturdy if built right.
You may be able to tell i have used lots of different types of terrain in my games.
Im told Eastern Front Studios who are part of the Paizo store will have unpainted and prepainted "Dungeon Dressings" soon at half the price of DF.

Question, (can't seem to find an answer on the EFS page) Will the Unpainted and Painted be the same price, and which type is the one that is "half the price"?
Got to say that one of the reasons i say DF is worth the price is i don't have the time to paint.
Thanks for the info (they are now bookmarked) will keep an eye on these, can always use more Deco Ops for my adventures, and the ones on there don't look too bad, all depends on price point. They do have a stron selling point that they are resin so points there already.
Hi Ghengis, me also I like the eyecandy on the gaming table and who has time to paint??
I have spoken to the EFS fellas at GenCon and through emails but the best updates is usually through their site which has a pile of fantastic minis I cant wait to see in person.The Jason Wiebe ettin looks amazing!!We are going to go to AdventureCon in Knoxville and I think they are planning on attending there in June.
but getting back to the resin from what I understand the resin will be available unpainted for the gamers who enjoy to paint and painted as they are opening up a branch of their Studio to do that....((ok 30 min later)).....ok I just asked them if they can shed some light on the whole project with us so looks like they will let us know asap, and very cool news they are sending the paizo store the intial run of resin how sweet is that :) :)..packs of everything bundled together((sorta DF style)) and packs of what you just would need, so 5-10-20 packs of resin barrels for example, crates..urns etc...sweet deal now Im getting ancy to play!! I recall playing the Dungeon adventure "mad gods key" in Dungeon issue 114 and not having anywhere near enuff to do the docks proper.

Thank you for the link, though i had it bookmarked, it just doesn't say much.
They mention in the Dungeons Dressing area of the Forum on that "06/01/07 - 12:03:15 AM - greets all this is going to be the name of our new resin line to be launched this month with the first pieces being...". You seemed to have been in contact with them which is why i was wondering what was up becuase that was just about a month ago, and no items are listed in the store, and before that they were talking back in Dec 2006.They also aren't up in the Paizo section.
So just wondering when they will materialize, what the price will be, etc, and it's not there.
