I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else, I was unable to to find any other discussion on the topic.

I bought me a copy of the City Tile Master set, mainly to get more copies of the rooftops... And what do I find? No actual tiles of the rooftops. Nope, they're not punchable tiles, they're printed on the top and bottom of the box, in a non-movable layout.

So now I have to cut the box apart if I want something more than a narrow alley with buildings on either side. And what happened? Now I have a bunch of nice tiles and several raged-edged ones, some of which are now peeling!! I realize we were given several new tile groups BUT, the ONE  group of tiles I really wanted out of it are now already falling apart...

I'm seriously disappointed with this purchase and would have returned it straight away if the shop I bought it from had a return policy. It will probably be my last Wizards purchase as it's seriously soured me.

After reviewing the essential line myself at the FLGS, I must admit I feel the same way about the whole essentials line. The original 4E books were very nice quality, but when you look at the new essentials products, they seem sub-par in comparison (i.e. type-setting, border art, smaller pictures, soft-spine/flimsy feel) ~  very poor quality printing IMHO. Very disappointing...

On the other hand, I am happy with the quality of the Lords or Madness minis... nice job.

SO you got the box apart and it lost structural integrity?  What did you expect?
