The title, pretty much. Why so much redundancy? There’s three of each from the same type. I can get a mini peacemaker with a hammer, or a gun. It’s all just mob types, and to top it all off, this is when in the original game most of us would be getting a selection of birthday miniatures to choose from. Hell, one of the exotics is just an ‘enraged’ version of a green miniature, the new enemy nightmare things.

Hell, at least the previous set didn’t give us three different colored drakes. It’s lazy, is basically what I’m saying, and this is after most players hopes and dreams of having at least some different miniatures for a one-year birthday, instead of just the Queen Jennah mini.

I was actually hoping these count towards the Miniature collector title… not too happy about finding out that theres an additional tab for them..

This was always the case. When they were announced, it was stated that there would be separate achievements for series 1 and series 2.

I’m not sure if these will be more expensive or not considering there’s pretty much no incentive to actually buy them. I think the only people that will are the ones going after miniature collector.

They could’ve made a lot more money if they used better characters then just generic mobs and enemies. I know people would pay a fortune for a shot at a miniature Tybalt Leftpaw, or any of the other order reps. Make those rare and make miniature world bosses exotic, and bam, loads of money.

Though I’d rather see those last ones actually drop from world bosses, but still.

There are a lot more minis of set 2 that live by nature in the water… I doubt a moa does.
And even if the two exotics work underwater it is just a shame with what loveless stuff they try to milk the monez….

And yes, i would spend a fortune just to get a tybalt mini, has to be one of those characters that has just the right personality.
Given the fact that he died heroically we won’t see him again i geuss…

I bought a mini pack before looking at the collections tab, opened it up and was disappointed by how generic they were. Checked the collections tab and realized there wasn’t any I wanted. Promptly sold them to get some of my money back.

Agreed. They were pretty uninspiring except a few.

The only ones I really like are the Zojja and Black Moa. Everything else is just miniaturized enemy npcs, something I wasn’t fond of in the first pack (but it wasn’t half the pack then).

And still no mini earth elemental to finish my elemental collection. lol

Where’s Mini Caithe and Mini Snaff? What about some of the members of the three orders? I’d like a Mini Seiran, Mini Forgal, or a Mini General Almorra Soulkeeper, and I’m sure quite a number of people would like a Mini Tybalt Leftpaw and Mini Hobo-Tron. I’m a little surprised Scarlet isn’t a mini yet either…they’re probably saving that one for later.

There are a lot of potential minis here. Feels like a letdown, this Set 2. Then again, I’m not really into minis, but still…

It doesn’t seem to be as varied as collection one. Love the Tybalt and other order mentors as minis suggestion, also Hobo-Tron and Caithe.
Here are some I’d love to see in addition to those mentioned above.

Uncategorized Fractal golem minis
Doern Velazquez
Trahearne
Shadow Imp
Pale Tree
Malyck
Dolphin
Snarl Backdraft, Galina Edgecrusher
Risen Jester

As Nilkemia said, there’s a lot of potential for varied and interesting minis.

Successful opportunism is often indistinguishable from a masterful plan.

The only mini that has been inspired by any character from the game’s story is Zojja. Why only one? Why stop there? I put a plead in this post about mini mentors. There are characters in this game that made us like it for what it is. Given, we’d be better off without some such as Trahearne and his “great help”. But all other characters I’d love to see as minis. It kinda sucks that we got a bunch of bobcats and drakes, not to mention the nobodies with armors and weapons. It wouldn’t take much to make since we already have the models… C’mon Anet!!! Please?

I’m sure they’ll add more minis to the store in the future, so we shouldn’t worry too much about variety.

A mini Pale Tree would be pretty amazing. I really like her model. :x My Sylvari would be happy.

I imagine a Caithe may show up eventually since shes the only Destiny’s Edge missing now (guess you could say Snaff too).
