Yeah, Duelling Club is horrible for the price. I guess the spring loaded
wizard ejector is the cause of that. The spider is sorta useless to me, but
the pic on the back of the box wth all of the spider leg parts put into a
tree looks freaky like something out of Diablo II or something. I liked that.
I'm into fantasy, so I think a forest near a castle is a must. That's why I
loved the original Forestmen series so much when it came out. I wasn't
collecting when Dark Forest was available, but they don't look anywhere near
as good. Now all that's available for good forest and terrain pats is aragog
and the werewolf monster set. Speaking of which, the monster sets are good
for fantasy type stuff, but I would't buy the pack more than once since it's
got a lot of stuff I'd probably end up selling.
I always like double convex slopes, but I have more uses for the
non-inverted ones. Fortunately, that problem will be alleviated later this
year...
