[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9642026, member: 725"] Honestly, the first two sets seem kinda of acceptable, the third looks like plastic clumps. But for $26 for 22 monsters (I count the Mimics as monsters) and 12 pieces of scenery is a pretty good deal! And if you look at the painted image, on the Amazon page, it looks a bit better, some of the images just don't do the unpainted minis justice. The advantage with many of these cheap boxes is that they are cheap, but have a good selection that often asks to be bought multiple times. Only 4 orcs, goblins or zombies? Buy two or three boxes. And while you would have 4/8/12 of the same mini in the same pose, that's actually an advantage when those things are unpainted, as it makes identification easier. It might also be a great way to get introduced to painting minis, cheap to buy, so no deep need to get that $30 GW mini 'perfect'. As they are relatively simple, you can also have a relatively simple paint scheme. And you can then build up from there. As I bought heavily into the first few Reaper minis KS, I'm pretty good for now on large piles of minis (besides all the other mini lines). But many boardgame KS (CMON) are also great for getting a ton of relatively cheap minis and get a board game as a bonus! [/QUOTE]
