The Ogres Daily Ramble…….
Dungeon Crawler minis & Auggies Games are proud to announce our upcoming Prepainted miniatures line and the beginning of preordering. Our first batch will be arriving early January but please note, quantities will be limited as this is just the first wave being air flown in. We are currently selling preorders for ONLY what we will be getting in our first batch (the ones we are getting in Jan.) and NOT the bulk so if you miss out just check back as we do have plenty more coming. The bulk of the order will arrive approximately 6 weeks after the first batch.
Currently the 4 miniatures in the set are only being distributed through Auggiesgamesonline.com and have a price of $2.99. If one model sells particularly well it may go up in price so that we can drop the slower moving ones a bit (the average of all 4 should hover right around $3).

OK, things have been moving right along and we are gearing up for Christamas. We have added Gift certifcates to our site in the amounts of $10, $25 and $100. Note, if you search for gift certificate it will pull up another one for $0. Please don’t use this as it does nothing (we use it to assign a number for people who trade in items then adjust the amount to the actual amout they send us).
Minis new
Getting low on the D&D minis Dragon collector sets so if you want them you better grab them now while you can. Pathfinder Heroes and Monsters has been pushed back to early Jan but the Beginers box Heroes is released and selling well. As mentioned before, these look AMAZING and really set a new bar for PPM’s. We’ll be doing a Reaper restock soon. I still haven’t got to the bottom of why we don’t have the Dino yet though and I must say, I’m a bit perturbed at them for the lack of comunication.
RPG NEWS
Well it pains me to say this for WotC but I finally made the plunge into Pathfinder for my personal game. It’s an excellent system and I’m very happy our game switched. I love 4e but we were up into the high teens and it just became a nightmare to track all the condition and effects going on. We frequently had one combat take the entire session! Pathfinder is soooo much more smooth at this level and now I see why it’s been such a hit. If you haven’t tired it, I encourage you to do so.

Shipping will begin tomorrow on both the Pathfinder Heros and Dragon Collecters sets. We expect it to take a couple days to get them all done but should be complete by Friday. They are now both offically off of PREORDER status. If you want some of the Dragons as either singles or the set, I wouldn’t wait too long. They are selling though fast and we are unlikely to get anymore after the first batch. You never know, but I wouldn’t chance it.
Also tomorrow will be a general restock of Pathfinder items including most flip maps and map packs, Heroscape (what I can still get anyways), and Feywild as well as the other 2 sets of fortune cards. The scape may take a couple days to list though as it just depends on my sorter and how long he takes.

Good things are on the horizon!
D&D Dragon Collectors sets will be here late next week and should start shipping 1 week from Friday. I’ll have a copy (just one) on hand tomorrow though so I can finally get some pics of the new sculpts…the white and the Green dragons. I’m getting a total of 74 of these and “busting” about 1/2 for singles. Don’t wait if you want them as that’s all I’m likely going to get! Also it’s a great time to pick up the 3 non new sculpts. The Red (from Dragoneye), Black (from Unhallowed) and Blue dragons (from Deathknell) are just $5-$6 each. And while they are a bit pricy ($12ish) , if you just want the 2 new sculpts (the White and the Green) cause you already have the other 3 you can grab these too. I’d not wait on those though, they are already selling fast.
Fury of the Feywild fortune cards will be arriving tomorrow as well as the Heros of the Feywild hardback. I’ve listed a couple of complete sets and some common/uncommon sets and should have more once the sorting is done. We’ll get pics of the rares up and singles tomorrow and Friday.
Pathfinder- Have you checked out the “pawns” section yet? These are the cardboard stand-ups from the beginners box and are an excellent cheap substitute for minis. We busted open several copies and pieced them out as well as the rule book and players starting guides. Both books are super cheap ($4 each!!!). Finally news on the beginners box MINIS is that they should be here next week along with the Dragon collector sets (D&D). I’ve got plenty of those coming though so I should have them for a bit. I can’t wait to see what the production models look like. The pics are fantastic and if the actual product is anywhere close that will be amazing!

Wow, it’s been crazy here with a TON of used stuff rolling though. Mostly D&D, Star Wars and Heroscape but a good bit of other items are available again. We are finally almost all caught up on sorting and listing so be sure to check it all out!
Legend of Drizzt Board game released. As always we broke these down into single components and it’s done very well. I’m out of a few things already but after we sell through a bit more of the items I’ll order more and restock. At the same time I’ll also restock CR and WoA.
Redakai Metacharged released. Great items in the set though the exclusive cards for gold packs are a disappointment. They are just reprints of the first run. Spinmaster has stated they won’t do this again so from here on out all gold pack sets will have new exclusives. In the meantime, since I now have sooooo many of these “exclusive” cards I have complete sets of all 20 on our ebay store for $10. Yes, that includes the SR Blackhole and Body Toss . Note that I haven’t bothered to list these on my webstore so if you want them and don’t want to go though ebay just email me.
Pathfinder beginners box JUST ARRIVED yesterday with a few other PF items. I don’t think I’ll sell many of these beginner boxes as most of my customers are established “old hands” . Because of this, I’ve decided to bust them open and piece them out! TOKEN/PAWNS with some killer art work will be available shortly to use in place of minis if you want to save some money or for convineance (it’s a lot easier to carry than a box of minis). Base price on these will be a quarter each but each pawn my go up or down depending on demand. Also in the set is a nice Battlematt that would work well with any game that uses 1 inch grid. Pathfinder minis of the starting characters is due to release in approx 2 weeks so they should be showing up soon and are available for preorder. I’ve not seen any in hand yet but if the paint jobs are anywhere close to the promo material, they will be DYNOMITE.
D&D - Mordakinen book finally arrived. I apologise to all my customers who waited on it. I still don’t have a satisfactory answer as why mine shipped so late but I’ve been assured it won’t happen again. The Dragon collectors mini set is now also available for preorder (and releases in a couple of weeks). I’ve got sets up and also pieced them out for those who only want certain ones. Of course the 2 new sculpts are more expensive but it’s a great price on the reprints!

***IMPORTANT*** We have decided that we are no longer shipping stat cards with figures for DDM (D&D Minis). For a full explanation please visit our forums. As always up to date errata (as well as original stats) can for the DDM skirmish game can be found out DDMGUILD.com.
Lots of used collections have been rolling in and we have a good bit more due anytime now so be on the lookout. An especially large collection of DDM (D&D minis) should be here within the next week or so. This is the 3rd largest we have ever bought so you know there is a bunch of stuff, on top of that another large collection is also due!!!
Everything else here is pretty much on auto pilot, both Scape and Redakai are doing well and the Board games section is also really doing well. Look for me to start picking games to expand into soon!
Oh yeah, a lot of people are asking about the new Piazo prepainted line and if I’ll have them in Dec. It’s looking extremely likely though I’m unsure what kind of quantities I can get and at what discount (which ultimately determines customer price). As I get more news on this I’ll share it here.

Star Wars Minis- I mentioned last week that we got a supprise 50 cases of each Masters of the Force and Dark Times. Both are now sorted and listed. In all likelyhood this will be the last large batch of Star Wars I get so if you want anything in bulk like battle droids of Rebel fighters now is the time….. Also of note, a large collection just rolled in this morning that someone sold to us. It will be listed over the next few days as we get to it so be on the lookout!
Heroscape. I’m still listing the collection we bought last Thursday but should be done by late today. It was pretty much a little bit of everything pre D&D though a good bit of the older wave stuff has already been listed (and sold). Still, lots of various items will be listed soon for Scape. Also as it stands now I should really start knocking out some of the backlog of Customs that are ready, they just need formatting and such. I plan to to this later this week. Finally the new sculpt for 7 hex Glacier is almost done. It should be either today or tomorrow. The next step is to make the molds so with any real luck we will have these for next week. I can honestly say, the new Glacier sculpt looks great and very much in the flavor of Scape.
Redakai- On the heals of the mini tourney we held I have a few new auctions I’ll be listing. I did manage to buy 2 Shadow Punch that were pulled from packs as well as a Lokar’s Shadow. The shadow punches will prolly be auctioned on Ebay.
ALL WEEKEND GAMING- For those of you local, I just want to remind you that ALL WEEKEND GAMING is this weekend. The Tower Game Center will open at noon on Friday and not close until Sunday night! Tons of game demos and this year we have a Sat. night cookout along with all the other normal stuff like are you a werewolf and smores, Dogs by Aug, Bizzare bizare ect… for complete info click the affliate link on the right.

Star Wars Minis- Just finished sorting SW Dark times. We thought we wouldn’t get anymore of this but our wholesaler found 50 cases burried in their wherehouse and offered it to us! We are also getting Masters of the Force (50 cases as well) but it will be a few days before these are sorted.
D&D minis- A medium sized collection just rolled in today. We will be working to get those listed throught today and tomorrow so keep your eyes open for that. Also see the board game entry below if your into custom.
Heroscape- Our 2 hex glaciers are ready to sell! I’ll have a catalog entry up soon. The scuplt for the larger 7 hex is still being worked on but I expect it to be done this week so hopefully we will have those up for sale late next week.
Board Games- Mansions of Maddness is here! All the catalog entires are made and only thing that remains to do is price the items out. Some really cool looking minis in this game but there is a little protrusion on the bottom of the figures to put them in their correct bases so if your rebasing it will take just a little extra work to clip these off and file. It’s not difficult though. We also got some news from the wholesaler that Wrath of Ab. is sold out until Christmas time so if you want minis from that set you might want to pick them up now or the wait could be a while!

Warhammer 40K Fans rejoice! We have finally begun entering the next batch of bitz. CHAOS SPACE MARINES are being uploaded even as we speak. It will take a few days to get them all done and priced out but look for them soon. Now that the new store is set up it’s also a bit easier to create the catalog entries in the first place so hopefully the entire project will pick up in speed. Next up we’re thinking Eldar. LMK what you think we should do next.
Custom Heroscape is still cruising right along. I’ve really gotten a backlog of new items to list and I hope to really get going on those tomorrow and have a bunch of new units and squads for sale. Particularly the work of SKYTALE. I love the work he’s doing! Also we are sculpting our own 6 hex, 4 hex and 2 hex glaciers currently. Once done we can make a mold and start pumping those out. They will be made of a nice hard resign and are very promising at this stage. More updates to come…….
Redakai- Not a whole lot on this front and while it’s done very well I think we might be in a lull until it hits mass market and (even more so) the cartoon comes out. I did just list the exclusives from the theme decks and there will be some more price tweaking soon. One note, the Metanoid Blue is AMAZING and I would snatch a play set up of those asap. Since you are sure to get one in each theme deck nobody thinks of them as rare but its the ONLY way to get them and when those theme decks are gone you’ll want ’em. My prediction….in a year or 2 they are a $25+ card if the game takes off.
The board gaming pieces of Descent continue to do extreamly well so I’m looking into what else we can break apart and stock. There is a new FF game that looks promising called Mansions of Maddness (or something like that). It’s got 32 minis in it mostly of the horror nature.
Welp, that’s pretty much it for today. I’m heading up to The Tower Game Center now to meet with someone to hopefully convince him to run a bunch of demos at the upcomming ALL WEEKEND GAMINING event at the end of the month. If you don’t know what that is check it out at The Tower Game Centers website…..It’s a BLAST and I’m pleased to be supporting it with DOGS BY AUG. All day Saturday we will be selling hot dogs for $1 each and all proceeds go to St. Jude hospital.
