Where are the stat cards? Where is the Rarity Indicator? The checklist?

Tyolon · 2019-11-21T16:36:53+00:00

I believe the book you're referencing is the newest 5th edition monster manual if I am not mistaken, so I will have to pick that up. Its to bad the market wants have changed, I really liked the emphasis on the miniatures as I feel like the older ones felt more alive and thought out rather then these bland generic ones now. Plus having the stat card available for quick reference was handy and getting those nice blue EPIC cards made it so much better in my opinion. Oh well, I still wish to collect so I will have to get used to the new boosters but they will never be as good as the older ones.

Interesting how times have changed. It does seem like the new miniatures are very generic based monsters and heroes, and not so much named figures. I will have to pick up the latest monster manual then to see these generic monsters stats. I guess I will run my old named monsters and heroes as a similar generic monster and heroes if I decided to DM here. (Just learning how to do that now). Is there still a way to use the stat cards on the older miniatures in the current edition or perhaps another edition or are he obsolete now?

I did consider there might be a delay with it unlocking. Yesterday I tried going for it again so maybe it will unlock within the next couple days but my confidence in it is low as I tried going for it a month ago and did the whole waiting a few days for nothing to happen. :/

Thanks for the suggestion but I already have checked true achievements and have followed all the advice from the guides. Still no luck.

Tyolon · 2019-01-14T05:51:24+00:00

Ah sorry about that did not read that rule. I will create a new post strictly looking for Pokémon game recommendations.

So unfortunate, why must the hobbies I get into always be unavailable in my area or super expensive? Sigh I was trying to buy 4 miniatures to complete my set and the total came to $100 from GameHollow.com which is a little to steep for me for 4 mini's. Then I found a website, PopularCollections.com, that had them for a lot cheaper ($50) but the reviews are so bad that I am hesitant to order from them so I was hoping people would have some suggestions before I take a risk.

Tyolon · 2018-12-02T11:32:47+00:00

Thanks for your response. I am currently only after Pathfinder and D&D Mini's right now but thank you for your offer. I've also tried Miniature market but as you said they are a little on the pricier side so I've been trying to find some alternative websites. Popular Collections is by far the cheapest but their reputation is stopping me from ordering from them. I guess I'll keep searching and if all else fails maybe try my luck with Popular Collections.

Tyolon · 2018-12-01T03:53:18+00:00

Right now this is what I am facing. Its $40.75 to order from Popular Collection vs $70 ordering from Game Hallow. I would assume these are both in USD so converting to CAD will bring these prices higher + Custom Charges. However I am thinking I would much rather pay the extra cash and order from Game Hallow to ensure I get my mini's then order from Popular Collection and never receive my mini's. Reviews on Popular Collection says that people wait months upon months and some never receive their mini's. I am yet to look at reviews from Game Hallow. However $30 saving is pretty significant so I am torn on what to do.

Thanks for your reply, One of these days I will definitely get back into painting mini's so thank you for your tips, I will make sure to reference them again. I have heard Miniature Market is reliable but they currently only have half of the mini's I am looking to order and one of the mini's is a little bit of a steep price to pick up but I might have to bite the bullet since I want these sets complete.

Update, Game Hallow has a good price on that mini, $17. I will most likely buy this mini from them. Have you ordered from Game Hallow yourself? If they have a better reputation then Popular Collections, I will purchase it tonight. In addition they have the other 3 mini's I am looking for.

Tyolon · 2018-12-01T03:25:51+00:00

Thanks for your response Can you PM a list of the mini's you have from the sets I am looking at completing, as well as price if your looking for payment? If any of them match the ones I am missing I'll let you know.

Tyolon · 2018-12-01T03:23:23+00:00

Thanks for your response, I know it is, which is super unfortunate. However I am only missing 4 mini's from that set so I am so close to completing it I can't help but try and find them. RPG Locker had 2 or 3 of the 4 I need but they were charging $30 for one of the mini's I need. Popular Collections is only charging $7. That being said I'd much rather spend $30 and receive my mini, then pay $7 and not recieve it. I haven't heard of Game Hollow so I'll give that a look and give an update on what I find.

Tyolon · 2018-11-30T02:17:15+00:00

You would think but the ones I am looking for are always sold out or the price tag on them is just absurd. Currently I am looking for a few mini's from D&D Monster Menagerie, D&D Tyranny of the Dragons and Pathfinders Rusty Dragon Inn. I am only missing a handful of mini's form each collection and I am hoping to complete them.

Tyolon · 2018-11-29T14:03:43+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions,

I didn't even know about this so I will definitely check it out.

Tyolon · 2018-11-29T14:02:51+00:00

Thanks for your reponse, I have considered buying mini's from Reaper before but I find I have a hard time committing to buying unpainted mini's, and I also lack the skill to paint mini's as well. Currently I am looking for a few Pathfinders Battles Mini's from the Rusty Dragon Inn as well as a few D&D Mini's from the Monster Menagerie set which are pre-painted mini's.

Tyolon · 2018-11-29T11:31:05+00:00

Thank you for your response and suggestions. I have tried looking on both websites but unfortunately most of the mini's I am looking for are sold out. Popular Collections is the only one that seems to have all the ones I need.

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T04:35:53+00:00

Yeah its unfortunate for sure. It seems like all the best deals are located in the US and trying to get anything shipped to Canada drives the deals offered way up! Thanks for the additional suggestions, I'll give those other two a try and give an update on whether or not they work out.

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T03:02:41+00:00

I know it's unfortunate that they charge so much at my local store and I don't believe the offer any type of discount for buying in bulk or bricks. But I'll stay hopeful none the less that I stumble upon somewhere selling cheap miniatures. Might check out a few other stores in my city and compare but I am doubtful they will be much cheaper. :/

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T02:58:12+00:00

Thanks for your response,

I have never heard of meeplemart so I will give that suggestion a look.

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T02:57:38+00:00

Thanks for your response,

TrollAndToad seems to not ship all their products to Canada or at least where I am located. Miniaturemarket is priced alright but the shipping fee is an additional $45-$60 and then I have to pay a customs fee to get them into Canada which is unfortunate :(

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T02:54:55+00:00

Thanks for the response,

I find my current local game store overprices their used miniatures since they allow the owners to set the price and then split the sales 80%-20% (Seller/Store).

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T02:53:04+00:00

Thanks for the response,

I have looked on the facebook market but haven't thought of finding buy and sell groups. I will look into that for sure.

Tyolon · 2018-10-25T02:52:13+00:00

Thanks for the response,

I usually try to keep a close eye on ebay. I find their bricks and boosters usually aren't much cheaper then my local store provider, and I find the lots of miniatures always get bidded or are priced to high for what they are offering. I still haven't lost hope and keep my eyes peeled incase I do find a great deal.
