Case Results Report Thread

[BBShockwave]

It is weird if you get 1 of a Rare in a brick but possibly also only 1 of a Common... that makes the Rare less rare, so to speak.

So, Quests from the Infinite Staircase! This was the other case I got at a discount from MiniatureMarket with Planescape, and as it is my luck, this had a far better distribution of Uncommons and Commons than Planescape, which was the set I was most looking forward to. But I am not complaining, this set has some great minis too, and I got enough of everything to keep me satisfied.
I have purchased an extra Chasme from an ebay seller who lists everything for bids starting from 1$, well in advance, since I prefer the 5E art to the 3E one, and this is a better mini than the RoD one - I love the iridescent paint coating on the carapace and the wings. Definitely wanted more than one of these.
The Rarity of the minis is otherwise, pretty perfect in this set, with the exception of the Fire Myrmidon - but as I am not a huge fan of Myrmidons and only decided to keep one of these since I already have 1 of the other 3 types, 1 is all I needed.
The only other misplaced mini is the Worker Robot - ideally that should have been an Uncommon and the Combat Robot a Rare... or both Uncommons, as you encounter several of each type together. Boggles the mind why it is a Rare, both Robots have tentacles and complicated arms, so it cannot be that.

With 7 Large Uncommons, you'd think 1 of each in every brick would be a given... But I have instead gotten them terribly mixed up between bricks, with 2 bricks specifically having 2 Clay Golems, while others having 2 Rugs of Smothering and 2 Phase Spiders and 2 Saber-Toothed Tigers. Overall I got 4 of each except for 5 Clay Golems and 3 Rugs of Smothering.

The Medium Uncommons were less well packed. There were 5 boosters with a Rare replacing the Medium Uncommon.
To offset this though, there were also 3 boosters where there were 2 Medium Uncommons in 1 booster.
Overall, this means I got only 2 Troglodytes, Animated Armors, Swarms of Gibberlings, Combat Robots, Hobgoblin Warlords and Leprechauns. That's 6 out of 12 - and that is a pretty terrible statistic. Something needs to be done about the Medium Uncommon distribution, since many of these creatures you will want more than 2 of. Maybe when we will have 10 boosters per brick, things will be better?

The Medium Rares had an odd distribution too. 2 bricks had 3-3 Rares each, one had 2, and the last one only 1 single Rare.
Also, apart from Brick #3, the Rares were not in numerical order, either.

Quality-wise, the bubbles are a terrible idea for packaging, as I mentioned before. Almost all Large minis were rattling inside the booster, especially the heavier ones like the Water Weirds and Trolls, but sometimes the Phase Spiders too.
Luckily, only 2 things were broken - one Water Weird had the water-tendril on the back broken off due to falling out of the bubble. It was there and I could glue it back. One Mummy's leg also came off the base.
The only major issue was with a Troll - his face is straight up missing. Was likely not glued in and fell off during packaging.

Adventures from Baldur's Gate

Are we supposed to get 2 chases in a case or 1? I had 1 box that was missing a medium/small. I got 1 chase, but the correct ratio for all the other minis. Thinking if we are supposed to get 2 chases in a case that is what was missing from mine. Boo. Otherwise I got 1 of every normal mini which is what I really cared about. The Chase I got was not one I was hoping to get and my kid who has played through the game multiple times groaned when I told him I got the Enver chase lol

Quite a few larges were loose, nothing was broken. I purchased the case from Miniature Market in January as a pre order. I did not receive any of the promos and that is the only reason I stuck with Miniature Market's cost when other sites were lower. I emailed them, will see if I missed out on Mizora and the Emperor.... will not be happy because I purposely didn't snag Mizora when I had the chance. Boo.

The 3rd brick I opened is the one that was missing a mini, total count for that brick was 31.

(Update on Promos from Miniature Market: I sent them an email letting them know I pre ordered in January and asked them to send the promos as advertised. They responded within 24 hours apologizing for the oversight and shipped them out. I have not received them yet but it looks like they sent all 5 that were supposed to come with the case)

Thanks, this is reassuring - seems you got 1 of every Large Uncommon in every brick, and you got 3 of all the Medium/Small Uncommons! The latter means you get only 6 Medium Uncommons per brick, instead of 8... meaning the Rares still replace the Uncommon... annoying. I dunno why we cannot go back to what was the normal distribution before S&S.
Also, getting exactly 5 of all the Commons seems almost... preternatural. The distribution is now planned pretty exactly, it seems. The good news is, this seems to mean you will get 1 of every Common with a brick (which is my aim).
And I guess you havr 50-50% chance of either getting 2 or 3 Medium Rares in a brick.

Bummer about the missing mini... and so far I think you and someone else are the only ones who reported case results, that person did get 2 chases in his case, but 2 are not enough to base a statistic on.

I realized I never posted my PFB - Armies of the Dead brick results!

Armies of the Dead.jpg (1.61 MiB) Viewed 23224 times

I got both lucky and unlucky with this brick - lucky, as I ended up with the brick that has 2 Large Rares (since there are 5 Large Rares in this set) - unlucky, as there were Medium Rares replacing Uncommons and even 2 boosters with 3 Commons and no Uncommon, meaning only got 4 Medium/Small Uncommons, and only 2 of those were the ones I wanted... I assumed for a time the Hunter Wight being #15 was Uncommon, but apparently it isn't...
Of note, the Uncommons were mixed into this brick without much randomness - I got 17, 18. 19 and 20... numbers right after each other.
Luckily due to 2 Large Rares, I got 1 of each Large Uncommon and no duplicates.
Can't complain about the commons, due to the 2 boosters with no Uncommons, I got a lot of them, missing only the Shredskin and getting 2 of 4 others

My Adventures from Baldur's Gate case arrived today (after frustrating three week stay in Australian Border Security/Customs Hell). I purchased mine from Miniatures Market - As noted in the thread for the set, they also forgot the promo minis in the initial package, but after I contacted them they were quick to resolve the issue and - funnily enough - I got my 4 x Emperors and 1 x Mizora a week before I got my actual case in-hand.

My two chases were Enver Gortash and Ketheric Thorm.
Similar to the other case for this set earlier in the thread, I got about five of every common, three of each uncommon and one of each rare, double-dipping on a Yurgir. Each brick came with one of each of the Uncommon larges and one rare large.

I guess this setup of Rares replacing Uncommons - plus the larger number of Medium Uncommons - means we will only ever get 3 of each per case. Otherwise, the rest of the distribution seems pretty balanced per case, with 4 of each Large Uncommon and 5 of almost all Commons. I do hope this weird thing with only having 3 Large Rares per set is not going to be repeated again, given how this set and Vecna also has done it...

If the 3 Large Rares were worth it, I wouldn't have that big of an issue with it. But in sets like AFBG where the 3rd Large Rare is not worth a Rare slot, it becomes a head scratcher. Instead of getting a unique large spectator or a steel watcher we got a spider with a lackluster paint job.

It's really odd what figures they pick for rare slots. Especially when we get either better versions earlier or similar versions at uncommon. The steel watcher missing is a tragedy.

[BBShockwave]

I am stumped by this choice too. Phase Spiders generally appear in groups of 4-6 at least they did in 2E. They are not really powerful either. And from what I seen of the game, there are better choices for Large sized enemies in it.
Plus, Quests from the Infinite Staircase was literally 2 sets ago, and that had a better looking, half-phased Phase Spider that was an Uncommon.
I would hope Wizkids would try and not repeat this, but then I remember the choice of rares in Underdark Expeditions and again I wonder about their logic... Strange, because in some sets like most PFB ones, or Vecna, the choices for most of the Rares was pretty good.

Agreed. I am not planning to get a case, just a brick, but if I did I'd be quite annoyed should I get 2 Phase Spiders...

With Vecna, I think the Bone Devil goes for 20$ so getting a second is not a bad deal, and the Hellwasp is super expensive, I think there the Drider is the one not that much profitable to be pulled... however, in general that is a good mini for troopbuilding, as in the old DDM save for one visible in SE, all Driders were Rares, and we only got one in RoD during IotR

You can call me annoyed because that's exactly what I got in my case.

[BBShockwave]

Well, damn...
I think I have seen them sell for 12$ on ebay... not much but you can try getting rid of the extra.
