This is a good set for parts too and it is cheaper.  What puts Rapid River
Village over the top for me is the 2 16x32 Tan Baseplates.  Boulder Cliff only
has the one 32x32 Tan Baseplate with the river printed on it.  The River makes
it much less useful IMO.

They are fairly rare and I have a few.  It's just that I have not found a use
for them yet.

You would be supprised.  These figs just don't seem to hold any value.  I am
sure if you found the right person they could be worth selling but so far I
have not found that person.
