 Huge Figures, Small Chance, Apr 8, 2023
It seems that the Giants of Legend Huge Pack does have some very nice miniatures that aren't so miniature. However, it is also true that you will likely get 2 or more uncommons (most are not so commonly used) before you will even get 1 real nice 1. For instance, you may purchase 6 packs. Odds seem to be that you will find maybe 2 - bullets, 2 - trents or fiendish tyrans, 1 other uncommon, and 1 rare (Red dragon, gold dragon, etc.) Overall, it's a pretty nice set but you have to expect that the majority of the time you will come out with uncommons with many duplicates before you get what you want.

This is a good set, but......, Jul 29, 2023
I like D&D; Miniatures giants of Legend Huge Pack because many huge size monsters come out in this set. You can have a hugh red dragon, which isn't like the red dragon (Young) (God...... So small...... Can this dragon damage me?), which cannot make you feel terror when it's in front of other small pieces. It's HUGE red dragon now so it makes the game more real and more fun when you play both D&D; and D&D; Miniatures. In addition, painting job is better than other sets. I like it.
However, each box comes with one HUGE SIZE piece (It's what we pay for it.), but there are total 12 huge size piece in this set. It means that it's very eary to get a lot duplicate huge size pieces before you get what you want to have such as Red Dragon or Golden Dragon. It's why I only give it 4 stars, not 5 stars.

Multi-Purpose Gaming Tools, Jul 16, 2023
If you don't play the skirmish game, these miniatures are worth the price if you only use them in a P&P; game. Pre-painted and durable as heck, these little buggers can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Get rid of your card-stock counters and pick up a few packs of these things to add that extra something to your home games. But, when combined with the extra rules outlined in the Miniatures Handbook, the fun lasts even longer. With a whole bunch of new game types, you'll just get that much play out of these minis. With four series to choose from, there are literaly hundreds of minis just waiting for you to pick them up, throw them on a grid map, and roll away.The paint jobs are about what you can expect out of mass-produced plastic figures, but in this series (GoL) they have gotten much better. Eyes are no longer blobs of black or white paint, instead detailed and outlined. The minis are usually made of two or more pieces that have been glued together which allows for much, much more detail than the first and to a lesser degree second and third series. I can't wait to see what the Aberrations (Oct 04) series will look like. However, I have unfortunately had a couple (not terrible, mind you) problems with them. Out of the last 9 or 10 packs I've purchased, I've gotten about ten minis with manufacturing defects, hence the four stars. Detached limbs, broken teeth/swords, etc. WoTC, however has been pretty helpful in making sure I am satisfied, and out of the 10 I have sent back, I have recieved 9 new minis in excellent shape. Also, though the prices on this series are usually a little up there (most retail for $20), you're getting 9 minis, including a huge one (ranging from 4" to 7" tall), so it compensates for it a little. Overall a good, fun, and practical product

Looking Good, Jul 14, 2023
I have enjoyed all of the sets since this series of Dungeos and Dragons miniatures started, but these are my favorite so far. The extra large figure is a nice touch and the others in the set are excellent as well. The Frost Giant (#48) is particularly well done of the pieces I have so far. I admit I have not actually learned the Skirmish game yet, but they look great as dressing for my desk. My only complaint has been with the assortment. Each box comes with 1 of the huge figures and in the 5 boxes I have purchased so far, I have received 3 Bulettes (#67). It is a nice figure and all but 3 is a little much. Other than that--great job.

 The Pinnacle of the Collection, Jul 12, 2023
I have been collecting the D&D; miniatures since the first set of Harbinger was initially released. While I play the skirmish game quite a bit, the real use I get out of these miniatures is during my role-playing games. For this purpose, each set that comes out seems to be better than the last because it expands the entire gaming experience. Now, on to the review.The basic set (not including the giants) of Giants of Legend is very comparable to the previous sets before it. We now have 60 more great miniatures to use in our games. But the giant that comes in each pack...is absolutely outstanding! The first two boxes I opened included a Nightwalker (which I wanted more than any figure to date) and a Huge Red Dragon. From what I have seen so far (I haven't seen all the giants), the Red Dragon is the lines masterpiece. Forgot about the skirmish game or using the miniatures in an RPG. Place that dragon in the middle of your miniatures collection and watch the entire collection look that much better. If you liked the previous expansions before this set, you're going to like this one too. If you just haven't been able to get into these miniatures, try out a box of Giants of Legend. I feel that the painting on the regular minis continues to get better, and Wizards of the Coast has truly created something wonderful in releasing these marvelous giants. I just hope the gaming community is having as much fun with them as I am!
