So Dicehead games, the Spikey Bits store front offers these

Has anyone bought one? I am intrigued but at the same time feel it can be total .

Haven't purchased one, but that sounds kind of sketchy. Most likely it'll contain a decent bit of stuff that they have an overstock of, AKA stuff that they can't get people to buy. So stuff that people probably don't want.

Hey, you never know, it might be a good bargain. But at the same time I never trust how "random" stuff like this is, and assume a decent bit of it would be junk.

Yea I was thinking that as well. For all we know it could be Dark Vengeance mixed models etc.

But hey if we get enough interest on the boards here I will buy one and do an unboxing

Each one will cost only $200, but will contain at least an incredible $300 in full retail of products!!!

Spend $200 to get a random assortment at 30ish% off ?

That is a terrible idea.

and it's really random

For a meager purchase price you will receive an amazing random assortment of sweet gaming swag from such companies as Games Workshop, Privateer Press, Wizards of the Coast, Spartan Games, Gale Force Nine, Corvus Belli, FFG, Wizkids, and Mantic Miniatures just to name a few!

It's not even all from one game. You are basically asking to buy all the crap they can't sell from their entire product line, and it's not even at an impressive discount.

Hell, they always offer a 20% discount that you actually pick what you want to buy, with no minimum purchase.

You can buy what you want for 20% off, or get a completely random load of stuff, you didn't pick at 30% off.

Meh, 33% off (doesn't sound as good as "get 50% more" but that's what it is) isn't enough to make me jump at a box that is going to be mixed brands with no idea of what's inside.

It's not that hard to shop around or buy used and get 30% off.

Further, Mantic already has the crazy christmas box where you more than double your money, can choose mixed or just sci-fi and you have a pretty good idea of what's coming.
