Many years ago I was thinking it would be so cool to have a set of metal dice.
Now I have them and they are by far my favorite ones.
"Normal" dice don't feel right now, as they are too light in comparison.
I don't even look for new dice anymore and my old favorite sets are all jealous, stuck in their bag.
It may not be what you're looking for (since you can't use them to roll for numerical values), but there's a collectible dice game called Dragon Dice (http://www.dragondice.com) that's made entirely of colorful, fantasy-themed dice. Each die, in its own game, counts as a unit in an army, so all of them have one side that shows what that unit is- so there's a ton of dwarf dice, goblin dice, and there's even Umber Hulks, Medusas, and Beholders (and tons of other fantasy creatures). I've used them as minis for years.
Thank you so much. I was looking allllllll over for these.

Wow, those were some neat videos. I always take anything that could be a sales pitch with a grain of salt, but I have to say that I learned a few things about dice.
Now I am going to have to take out my jewelry tools and measure my dice. I need to see witch ones are "lucky."

Along these same lines, in addition to the Dwarven Metal dice, I also like the Dwarven Stone dice. Problem is, for the 16mm dice (the "standard" size of most gaming dice), they can be super expensive!
I'm a dice junkie. I can't help it. I love dice. I've got two or three hundred, I think (and that's a pittance compared to some collections). I mostly buy Chessex dice these days, as that's the brand most of the stores carry around here. I have several sets of Gamescience die from back when I first started playing, too.
I got some new dice for Father's Day, and they're great for killing PCs! lol
I have the Rise of the Runelords Dice Set
And my Critical Hit LED D20

Anyone remember this thing?
I must admit I picked one up back in the 80's. Used it for a couple months and went back to using actual dice.

A friend is buying me a set of dice in payment for some figure painting I did for her. When searching for something cool she found these. Too expensive for the payment, but one day I might get a set. My players might get a bit upset if I throw them though.

Shapeways has TONS of dice, almost all of them designer dice that are as much art as they are game accessories. The price is due to they type of process they use to make them. They don't have a type of plastic that would make the dice really great to play with, so the stainless steel option is the best for functionality. The stainless steel is also very expensive.
Here is a good list of what you would find in Shapeways:

What is really neat is the variety of dice that you will probably never use. D50, D48, D120, and many others are easy to find there.
Has anyone come up with a decent use for the d30?
Back in 1st edition days, our DM ruled that if you rolled a 20 to hit, you got to use a D30 for all attack rolls until you missed/encounter ended. Other than that, not really.

I have seen them being used to create random DC. The GM was really not sure what to set a DC at and rolled his die.
My friend and I were talking about creating a system that used obscure dice like D30, D24, D50, etc. Sort of like how Alternity used additional 20s for their checks, the system we talked about would upgrade or downgrade the die you would use depending upon the situation. It was really just theory crafting, but a fun idea nonetheless.

I do remember it. never had one but i do remember it.
SOLD! Now I only wish paizo sold these fabulous dice... :(
You guys hanging out with the Colonel?
I've got to say, the best looking dice I have seen are the Q-Workshop dice, including several sets specifically for Pathfinder AP's. I just looked at some of those Shapeways dice upthread and...wow. A little out of my price range, but...wow.
