This is a pretty incredible deal they have. I read quite a few reviews and saw that more or less you had about a 1 in 5 of getting an assortment worth the price and my luck prevailed. The only duplicates I got were entwined with the monstrous humanoid pack I bought with it. And of the 20 or so duplicates only 1 pair was something i wouldn't want more than one of to begin with. I also grabbed a promo cockatrice which after pricing was around $10 w/out the card...and mine came with one...so overall this was an awesome pick that i'm very happy with... and hopefully my players are too...since i'm not buying anymore for them. Shipping is also as fast as everyone says...got it within 3 days and my postal service is terrible.

I admit that I didn't expect much, and troll and toad delivered. I purchased 200 random miniatures. In the entire set, I got 3 large monsters, two of them duplicates. The remainder of the 200 randoms were medium humanoids with a few animals and swarms. Total value of the pack came out to less than 2/3 of the actual price. Sigh.

I received 100 different minis, all with stat cards. I received a good swath of monsters, most being humanoid type, 5 or so animal types, 2-3 swarm type, and several construct/demon type. This lot gives you a great starting point to build a monster cabinet. All your standard monster races were well represented with 3-4 singles each:Dwarves, Goblins, Orcs, elves, humans, kobolds, undead, and lizardfolk.
I only received 3 giant mins: Cursed Slaad, Skeletal Cyclops, and Foulspawn lurker. I was hoping for a hill giant, frost giant or a giant troll. Oh well. I totaled the cost of all the minis up to 130$, exactly what I paid for the package so in the end its a decent deal.
This package will give you a good sampling of most monster types along with a few specials to add flavor to a campaign. It wont give you exactly what you want, but what you don't get you can just pick up singly in piecemeal purchases. That's what i'll be doing!

Very, very good buy. The delivery of my order has been lightning-fast and the miniatures are great. The lot is exactly as advertised and are a good sample of D&D monsters. A most recommanded buy !

This lot _is_ exactly what it says it is. 100 different miniatures with stat cards. One mini had a dnd 4e power card as some sort of substitute instead although I didn't particularly care. There were a half a dozen or so larger monster and the variety was quite large (how could it not be with 100 different minis).
What it wasn't was a value. The included miniatures purchased from this site as singles came to just under $127. To be fair that's very close to the price of the bundle. I don't regret purchasing but I certainly wouldn't rate this at 5 stars.
What it does do is provide you with 100 guaranteed different miniatures and you don't have to take the time to put together 100 different minis for yourself. (ASIDE: due to the unfortunate state of the AJAX cart on this site, this is an advantage to be sure). So if you're not at all picky about what you end up with this is a great time saver.
If you're at all budget conscience and have the time, you can put together a hand selected bundle to equal this quite easily.

Very impressed by the selection of mini's, they said there would be no duplicates and they held their word. This lot would make an excellent grab bag for people who are just getting into miniature games or people looking for some extras.

This is the best way for anyone to start their collection. I loved what I got and I was extremely happy.

I will say that at first, I was a little hesitant to buy a "lot" of random miniatures to start a collection for myself and my wife. I will say that without a doubt, I was 100% wrong to question it. The other reviewers were correct, I place my order on Sunday night after 11:00p.m., had my order to me by Wednesday morning on the cheapest way to ship. Super fast processing, shipping and GREAT packing. All the miniatures were received in great condition and not a duplicate in the entire batch. My selection ranged in size and variation from Halfling Archer to a Rhemoraz. Great Value and would recommend to anyone! GREAT BUY!

Having read the other review on this item I gave it a shot, ordered and waited eagerly to see what the ups man would bring. I opened the package (which was packed very well) and started sifting through the packing peanuts. What I got was an excellent assortment of miniatures, ranging from tiny to huge, drow to dragons, gnolls to giants with a variety wide and useful for gaming or collecting. I am extremely impressed, satisfied and excited! After I finish this review I will be immediately ordering another, thank you trollandtoad!

Amazing selection! No duplicates in the 100 minis. I ordered 4 minis apart from the 100 and non of them were duplicated in the 100 either. Variation of sizes, large/huge creatures as well as swarms. Couldn't be happier with the quick shipping either. Highly recommend this to DM looking for a wide array of creature minis.

I was very impressed by the assortment I received, not a single duplicate. I also got a great range form small to huge, that will definitely find uses in my gaming group. I will be buying more.
