    Hello Theo & Grady, I Win I Win! You even said in your video there was no way that the next Epic Encounters box could be the Yuan-ti. So I guessed the next set would be a Naga. It was the Hydra set we talked about the next Epic Encounters box. Aztec and Yuan-ti, I may pass out after getting this one.
    Thanks Theo & Grady you gentlemen have a wonderful day!

    I simply cannot wait to add these 2 new boxes to my collection. I have all 6 of the other boxes and really love the minis. They're pretty detailed and have been a blast to paint. I have the orc box done and I'm going to start the Frost Giant soon. Great review as always my friend.

      It's going to be a product we're having mass produced. Still in the process of finalizing the design--that was our first physical production sample. We're debating whether to a order a limited run ourselves to put up for sale or try to do a Kickstarter for them. All feedback is welcome on how to proceed!

      It's a product we're designing ourselves based on the ones in this design: www.gallantgoblin.com/merchandise?Design=Kobold+Rainbow
      We're still finalizing the look based on samples from our manufacturer. We're also debating whether to launch it as an independent product or Kickstart the full line of them. Trying to gauge how much interest there is. So if you have any feedback on them, we're all ears!

      The D&D Starter Set is a great way to get a started! And come hang out in our Discord channel! You can probably find folks there to play with online! Also, many communities have D&D Facebook or Meetup groups that are usually quite welcoming. Also check in for any groups at local game stores. Welcome to the hobby! -Theo
