What three sets would you like released after those? I would like to see:
Defenders of the feywild.
This would have pixies and satyrs usable as PCs, along with dire animals, treants, displacer beasts or similar creatures.
March of Undead.
Skeletons, zombies, ghouls and hopefully a new lich sculpt. I know this is thematically similar to Castle Ravenloft, but I want a way to get lots of zombies without getting three per $70 boardgame.
Dark cultists.
Foul humans and their monstrous / demonic minions. This one could really have some weird abberations, maybe things they've never made before.
What are your three?
2. Goblins
3. Dwarves
I'm curious about the game, but I mostly want these for my D&D games.
- Creatures of the Shadowfell
- Astral Entities
- Monstrosities of the Far Realm
1. Orcs
2. Goblins
3. Dwarves

There's already goblins. You want more goblins?

No, the goblin set has been shelved for now. WotC is only releasing two sets at the start: Drow and Cormyr (humans?). This was announced at the D&D XP show. My guess is they're testing the response before they jump in head first with the new system.
I really want goblins so I put them on my list.
Really, I want a variety of race/class/gender combos to use as PC miniatures.
Can't say fairer than that. Ideally, a few female minis that aren't dressed in the most ridiculous armoured bikinis possible. Seriously, is there a mini designer out there who has ever made a female mini without giant breasts and cleavage you could lose a battleship in?
2) Orcs
3) Lizardfolks
I love the idea of the 12 miniature set packs. Especially if they put a Commander type in each box. My ideal breakdown would look something like:
1 x Commander
2 x Officers
2 x Specialists or Interesting Complimentary creatures.
3 x Ranged or Regular Infantry
4 x Minions
Peace

The Human Cleric of Bane is the only female I can think of who wasn't of the "chicks in chainmail" variety. There's probably more, but not many. I'd like to see females who are more fully figured. The only ones currently are dwarves (like the Dwarf Beguiler from Lords of Madness).

Well, there are a few, but none of them are currently working for WotC, lol. Both Sandra Garrity and Julie Guthrie are known for their somewhat more realistic female proportions. (As opposed to, say, Werner Klocke, who's the reason why "klockenbooty" is a searchable term in the Reaper Figure Finder...)
2. Elemental - Probably the only way to get more Genasi. I REALLY want more Genasi. Specifically a Cindersoul Warlord with a longspear.
3. Kobolds, Dragonborn, and Lizardfolk - Some variety of lizardy type creatures including those three.
4.* If golbins were scrapped, they need to be #1.
1. Undead- Skeletons & Zombies
2. Orc set
The third-
3. More PC miniatures with an odd Wilden or Deva thrown in.

Don't tease me. I know there will never be a Wilden. IF there is then the moon will explode.

Be careful, I said the same thing about Runepriest support and then there it was, an article about Runepriests. You wouldn't believe what happened next....

Could you please point to the chainmail bikini?
What there IS, though, is a shortage of female rangers, clerics, and rogues, and a shortage of females in races other than human or elf.

Though, I grant you, there are a few mildly less ridiculous minis in there, and even a few fairly realistically-armoured ones.

You mean the one with three rare items?
But even then, it's not really enough. What the Runepriest needs is scads of new powers, and some non-Rune feats.
2 sets of Forgotten Realms, one with Elminster and Friends (with benefits ;) ) and one with Driz'zt 'N' The Gang,
Set of Eberron (I'd like 2 sets, but I'm being realistic), set of Dark Sun, set of Dragonlance heroes, maybe a Ravenloft too. The last one could sell well without people knowing the IP, 'cause Strahd + Flesh Golem + Mummy = ch-ching!
Baba Yaga's hut. Yes please.
Gelatinous Cubes. An entire set of Gelatinous Cube minis. Includes tiny-sized "Gelatinous Cube Familiar", and "Familiar Mount Gelatinous Cube" w/ saddle.
Orc
Giants
Dragon set
Of course you should also have a straight undead set as well. We all love the undead that can fit into most any campaign setting.
I would like to see a monster mix. Like make a 12 pack of popular monsters that you could use in any dungeon or campaign. But if I had to shoce it would be.

Also I would love to See a Ravenloft Campaign setting!! Ravenloft was one of the best campaigns ever!
Sets for different campaign settings.
THIS! What a great idea. It would be easy enough to do as most of the minis are already out there (ie - reissue, maybe with new paint). It would be great if a DM was going to run a Dark Sun campaign for example to be able to pick up a pack or two of DS minis and have most of what would be needed. Tokens could cover the rest.
Though I quite frankly expect it to bomb, because the initial sets will deliver miniatures that can be found in masses from former DDM or Pathfinder minis or whatever source. So I guess that the popular demand will NOT be enough to keep the minis alive for long.
1 To stop any speculation: I´ve found enough proxies or my players and humanoid monsters, heck, I even own most of the old Ral Partha line. But when it comes to very distinct monsters I´m still at a loss (e.g So-Ut, psurlons, kirre, mekillot..). Though I´m still waiting for GW to produce some of their lizardmen razordons in resin. That would make modifying them much easier..
anyway: DarkSun pack please!
If they are not new miniatures then I suspect the main draw will be those that don't have the old ones. People like myself.
I'd also offer Chris Tubb who works for Mithril Miniatures and Phaeton Designs who does realistic yet heroic female characters. Not much in the way of odd bikinis there.
But I digress
Do we know if the minis are plastics yet? Or their scale?

Thanks for that, now I'll never get that cleric chick's butt out of my mind. . .
I don't want anymore goblins, orcs, skeletons, zombies, human warriors, elfs, dwarves, wolfs, or gnolls. I have literally hundres of them from DDM. Let's see some rarer monsters that haven't been in official D&D miniature form yet.
What about those of us who would just be starting our collections with these releases?
Gelatinous Cubes. An entire set of Gelatinous Cube minis. Includes tiny-sized "Gelatinous Cube Familiar", and "Familiar Mount Gelatinous Cube" w/ saddle.
I could make a ton of those sans saddles given an ample amount of plasticine clay, silicone compound and resin.
The first two would be staples---
1. Undead- Skeletons & Zombies
2. Orc set
The third-
3. More PC miniatures with an odd Wilden or Deva thrown in.
I desperately need a Wilden for one of my RPG players... And a female Deva.
Gelatinous Cubes. An entire set of Gelatinous Cube minis. Includes tiny-sized "Gelatinous Cube Familiar", and "Familiar Mount Gelatinous Cube" w/ saddle.
Indeed. Hopefully, if Dungeon Command ever features Gelatinous Cubes, maybe they'd be cheaper than the few of them left from older sets.
Anyhow, thinking about the RPG more than the Dungeon Command game itself, it would be nice to see some variations of a few concepts already in existence via DDM, i.e., where the hell are the Genasi Swordmages? We also need more Monks.
As for monsters, I'd love Gnolls, Trolls, Demons, Liches and Mindflayers.
I also agree with ThunderT1 in that there should be sets to use in the RPG (12 minis per box have a lot of potential) as full encounters: elite, lurkers, artillery, brutes, soldiers, and minions.
I also would love to see DC endure, not set aside like D&D Heroscape or suddenly and strangely cancelled like DDM...
KOBOLDS
A BOX OF KOBOLDS
I don't think I said this before.
KOBOLDS
A BOX OF KOBOLDS
Yes! Complete with Wyrmpriest, Dragonshields, Skirmishers, minions and everything! That would be pretty neat.
We really need those (theme?) sets with all the members of a full-blown encounter with a warband.
Tiflings are completely unrepresented in the game.
More female characters are definitely needed.
More eladrin, so far only one was introduced.
I too would love to have more goblins, their just the perfect classic minions.
A set of standard enemies, like thieves or pirates.
A giant or two, the Castle Ravenloft flesh golem is cool, but a standard giant would be nice.
Fey-beasts would be a nice addition too.
Honestly I am just happy that these are coming out at all, and can't wait to add them to my collection.
