#1 thalmin Feb 12, 2009 7:49:33	This is from an email I received yesterday from one of my distributors. Sorry, there were no pictures. Here are the 1st six releases for the blister carded version of the D&D minis. The release will be out 4/21 ... Martial Heroes 1 Male Human Fighter Female Dragonborn Rogue Male Elf Ranger Martial Heroes 2 Male Tiefling Warlord Male Dwarf Rogue Female Eladrin Fighter Arcane Heroes 1 Female Eladrin Wizard Male Tiefling Warlock Male Half Elf Bard Arcane Heroes 2 Male Half-Elf Fighter/Warlock Female Eladrin Sorcerer Male Human Wizard Divine Heroes 1 Male Dwarf Paladin Female Halfling Cleric Male Human Cleric Primal Heroes 1 Male Human Barbarian Female Elf Druid Male Goliath Barbarian
#2 TheLoneCleric Feb 12, 2009 8:21:33	Yep. That pretty much confirms what we thought they would be. lesigh Only 3 to a pack. How disapointing.
#3 mcthorin Feb 12, 2009 8:38:14	Well, WotC told us they'd be 3 to a pack. I thoguht there'd be more dragonborn, though. Why only one and only a female, and not even a fighter? Why make it harder for players to enjoy playing your game? I just don't understand. If you want people to use D&D minis, why make them pay $15 on the secondary market for one of the most popular PC race/class combos in the game?

#5 mcthorin Feb 12, 2009 13:20:57	are you kidding...there are 4 dragon born males in hevy armor out...dragonborn female rogue made me jump for joy... I can only think of the two, and they're really expensive. If all the dragonborn male figs are like $15, then they should have made another one for these packs, which only sell for like $9.99 for 3 figs. Price counts to me, it's not enough to be in circulation if it's hard to get; that's still making it hard on your players. If not and the dragonborn figs have come down to reasonable prices, forget I mentioned it.

I have a PC playing a Female Dragonborn Warlock...why do another male heavy armor when there are nor female at all, and no light armor at all??? it's not enough to be in circulation if it's hard to get; that's still making it hard on your players. but it is also is not hard but IMPOSSIBlE to be any other type of dragon born...
#7 Drax_Hoak Feb 12, 2009 15:37:35	I think it was a pretty bad choice to do this by power source. It should have been done by race. By race would have better focused the packs, rather than the hodge-podge of race/class combinations they ended up with.
#8 satori Feb 12, 2009 15:43:59	Need MOAR Tiefling.
#9 Nerpherder Feb 12, 2009 15:48:14	Packed by race and not by power source would be a problem when the next PH comes out, Would you only pack the new classes with any new races in the book? IMHO Power source is the best way. Though I want a Dragonborn Mace wielding cleric.
#10 wizardmon Feb 12, 2009 17:10:09	... If mini's are running at 3 per pack, would the price be dropped to, say, how much?
#11 mhacdebhandia Feb 12, 2009 17:39:41	The weirdest thing about this lineup is that none of the humans are female.
#12 GMforPowergamers Feb 12, 2009 18:02:35	The weirdest thing about this lineup is that none of the humans are female. 3 female eladrin and a female elf...so what does WotC think girls only play fey???
#13 mhacdebhandia Feb 12, 2009 18:20:16	Plus a female halfling. The only female figure that isn't the smallest and slightest one in its set is that female dragonborn rogue, who's presumably fairly close to the male elf ranger.

There really should be at least one male dragonborn that is easy to get without paying too much. I usually see the Dragonborn minis for about $15-$19 each, which is more than I like to pay for a single figure, especially one I plan to use. If you're in the market, Coolstuffinc has a Dragonborn Fighter in stock right now for $11.99; still too much IMO, but it's also my favorite of the four minis.
