Here are some pics of Angela's Bulette miniature given to Tim Kask (the Bulette's creator).  The mini won the coveted "BEST OF SHOW" for Gencon this year.

And of course the halfling was trying to eat breakfast when the creature attacked

but if the hobbit goes back later and cooks those eggs again they would be repoached

Incredible. I cant think of any other words for that.

According to an e-mail I received from Gen Con, the amount raised this year for the charity (School on Wheels) was over $19,000.  That's a bit higher than previous years (excluding the amounts raised for the Gygax Memorial), when the typical amount was closer to $13,000.

They were selling a LAW Rocket... of course it was going to be more than $13K  

If you look at the one picture with the halfling-sized chair and part of his hovel, then go to the next picture with the overturned black pot.

Maybe it was second-breakfast he was fixing for himself...

If it was fist breakfast the pot would have been twice the size...

The last picture.  Right above the bulette's hand, there is an iron skillet with two eggs, sunny side up.

There they are!  Great detail.

What I am most impressed with in this diorama is the vegetation.  It looks very real...something hard to achieve with materials like moss and such.

I posted this in another thread, but for those looking for the auction report for Gen Con 2011, it can be found here:

I sifted through this a bit.  I still think the Owl & Weasel set is the deal of the show!  What "should" that go for... 2-3x as much as it did?


Not as monster a deal as O&W, but this one made me wince in the dang-I-would-have-bid-more-than-that sort of way:

Lost Shrine of Kasar-Khan Boxed Campaign        51 Integrated Games        MINT         The second boxed campaign in the Complete Dungeon Master series. Designed for use with any fantasy role-playing game. Includes full campaign background, miniature-scale floor plans, handouts, and a DM's screen.

If that's accurate (boxed version, mint), then $51 is a great price.


There appear to great deals to be had on low and medium end items - I could definitely fill in under $50 want list items all over the place.
