The amount of work that is waiting for him should sink in quickly after the bliss of "new purchases" fades out :D
:lol:

Well, gotta figure out what to keep and what to try and sell first. ;)

The Stone Boars make great Wereboars, and the Quilltail or whatever they are called makes good baby Manticores!

Here's an example dungeon I made from the 3D set!
Yeah, I already had a 3D Dungeon starter pack and wanted to get at least one more, so I could build more stuff with it. With this I definitely have enough! :D I'm actually a bit surprised at how much I like them, considering how simple they are. But they're very easy to build and look pretty nice! :)

As for the minis themselves, I'll probably keep and rebase most of them. But also see if I can sell some of them on eBay or something, several of the unique ones I'm not too interested in keeping, as well as some of the more common ones here and there. And a bunch of the paper and cardstock stuff. And the 62 MK chests I've now accrued... :P

Wow they make pewter minis still? Nice!
LOL that fisherman is mighty proud of the fish and eldritch horror he caught at the Insmouth harbor. :D
Hahaha, indeed! :lol:
Yeah, Midlam's still making metal minis. They do a lot of kickstarters, almost one every other month, with quick fulfillment! I've gotten lots of cool and unique minis from them. :D

LOL, yes, I have a gazillion chests too. I kept a few for decoration but they are too big compared to D&D minis.

Seeing pictures like this one makes me remember those -clix games with nostalgia. I dabbled in MechWarrior minis (the Dark Age set if I remember correctly) for a couple of months. I loved the game and the minis but I quit it quite fast because there was barely anyone playing it, so I had nobody to play with.

I am surprised I kept on collecting Star Wars minis honestly since I rarely ever found people to play that skirmish game with either.

The minis had such a "toy factor" to them and the game was actually quite fun. I think I also tried Mage Knight with some minis that a friend of mine had back then.
The FLGS here in Budapest is still full of Mechwarrior sets and boosters! Nobody buys them.

Picked up the free mini of the month, and a pot of Karandras Green contrast paint.

As the Harpy Skeleton came unexpectedly back at Auggies (but just one), I quickly grabbed it.
Afterwards of course ended buying other older minis so the shipping costs are worth it. I was surprised to find they had the Demonweb Concord Illithid for only 8$, so grabbed that one too! (Maybe he got discontinued, like the Concord game.... :lol: )

Just got in the Ghost Red Dragon and Bigby's Death Giant that I picked up on sale. I must of missed the Death Giant a while back when it released. With the cancellation of the critical role stuff I think I am back to 100% of releases except for:

Infinite Staircase full set - will order a case when I find a good price
Kuo-toa warband - need to find a solid deal
Gargantuan Bahamut - trying to decide between the regular and the online exclusive.
Froghemoth Elder
Armies of the Dead full set
Death Coach, Gholdako, Yamaraj premiums
Bloody Harpy Promo
Spitting Zombie promo
Ghouls & Ghasts warband - This set is hot garbage. WIll need to find it for 75% off before I bite.

List is kind of growing due to so many releases at once. Just completed Vecna & Fearsome Forces it seems like
Check out my BUY LIST in the Selling group!

Received my Walmart bundle. The Staircase was a good pull, but the Avernus was a horrible box. I barely have any from Avernus and there are a ton I want/need but this box was very little help. If I paid retail for this I would be upset with the pull, maybe $10 in minis and 1 (Lemure) I might use and 1 (Bearded) that I wanted in the collection but both are cheap or have cheap proxy available.

Staircase
07 Giant Frog
19 Thorny Vegepygmy
24 Hobgoblin Warlord
32 Water Weird

Avernus
04 Lemure
08 Falaster Fisk (already have 2)
21b Legion Bearded Devil
31 Mickey the Flesh Golem

After quite a long time without purchases I picked some things up.

$148 - Sewers Core Set
$103 - Forgotten Sewers Set (pre-ordered as it still isn't here but I don't want to miss out on the couple we do get in)

$80 - IotR Desert Mat - Was a big biome to be missing so I felt I needed it. Missed out on local store but found one for a good price if I could meet the free shipping threshold.
$50 - Monsters of Wildemount 1 - It has been on my want list for some time but it was so popular it sold out before it went on discount. So decent price for it.
$59 - Planescape Character Miniatures - It pains me to buy them at this price but I'm running the adventure and I don't have good proxies for them. My justification is that it put me over the top for the free shipping.

(And the collector's editions of the PHB and DMG. MM on pre-order.)

Who knows what will happen with the sewer sets. Are there just not that many that were made, or are they all tied up in logistics? Anyways, getting them while you can is probably a good idea.

I have plans coming up for my Desert mat. I’ve been collecting Monster Fight Club scatter terrain to support it too. It should surface as part of my Red Hand of Doom campaign, so pictures will eventually show up here.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.
