   I could not believe how bad this product is… it’s basically a piece of expensive felt that does not absorb water as well as a regular towel. Don’t waste your money this product. Nothing but hype!

   I have no idea why some people are trying to defend this product…but its just a piece of crap. And yeah, I even did the dampening thing before use…my paper towels work better than this.

   In short, this is just another of those advertisements they exaggerate so much, sadly they could invest the same advertisement dollars in providing a decent product, but they know some innocent people are going to fall for it anyways.

   This towel [...]. The first time I used each towel, it absorbed an okay amount of water. However, I was not impressed. Shortly after washing and drying the towels, they absorbed almost nothing. I can barely even dry off my hands! I believe that there were chemicals in the towels that absorbed the water and after using the towel ONCE, not twice, ONCE, the chemicals wore off and the towels are now as good as a piece of felt for absorbing water. Seriously, that’s what they feel like! Felt from the local craft store! I can’t believe I payed all this money for such a piece of crap! Shortly after buying these, my son thought it would be fun to take a shower and dry off with the Scam- I mean Sham- Wows. After drying himself off, I told him to take another shower. There was this disgusting smell (from those chemicals) and lint on him from the Sham Wows. If you want to waste your money on some one-time-use “drying” pieces of felt, okay then. But I regret it.

   Paper towels work much better than the shamwow. I am a stay at home mom with two toddlers and thought the shamwow would make my life easier by cleaning up my kid’s spilled juice and milk. However, it’s not really at all like they show it on T.V. It was a waste of my money.

   I am a former diver. We used Chamois…a completely different product. The pitchman claims it’s the “same thing” divers use. Lie#1. Lie #2: Shamwow does not work. My husband picked up this product on a whim. A mistake. I can’t even dry my hands with this product. Lie#3: Shamwow does not leave streaks or lint. I beg to differ. You can’t use it on mirrors, windows, or even kitchen counter tops. It leaves streaks and lint everywhere. Lie#3:Shamwow is absorbent. I tried it on my wet horse. NO moisture was absorbed. I had to switch to a towel, which did the job, is absorbent, and I’ve had it for 15 years! AND towels are washable! BIG LIE#4. If you watch the shamwow commercial, you’ll notice a quick cutaway after the carpet piece is doused with soda. The soda ran all over the carpet, and on the counter. During the short cut-away, they REPLACE the towel with a different towel. Noticeably absent was the soda on the counter .I wish there was a no-star rating on Amazon. This product rates -5 stars in actuality.

   The rules are simple and easy to learn, as in 15 minutes to read through the manual, then you’re ready to play a basic game. The games go by quickly, so it’s good for fitting a one-off into a busy schedule, or getting lots of games in during an evening of play.

   The miniatures are big and look great (for plastic prepaints), with lots of detail and paintjobs. One fault is the clip-on bases: they don’t clip on so good. Luckily, that doesn’t really impact the game unless you’re a nitpicker.

   One suggestion: splurge on the deluxe edition. Six minis, six bases, six dice, a couple dozen cardboard counters, and a rugged cardboard, double-sided map to play on. Lots of value for the money.

   Game On!

   I did a lot of research into the WoW CMG before deciding on this purchase, so I was pretty aware of what I was going to get. One of the biggest draws of the Minis game was the thrill of opening up boxes in hopes of finding that rare character who may or may not be there. That thrill is maintained in this Deluxe Starter due to the presence of random figurines rather than set ones like in the basic starter. I was fortunate enough to get the Monster and Alliance factions in mine; which means once I buy the basic starter (which comes with Horde and Alliance U Bases) I will have 3 matching sets of U Bases for each faction (and 2 sets for Alliance). To the casual player this is trivial, but for someone who lives in specifics it’s a random chance which could make a large difference.

   Another uncontrollable aspect of this package is the map included. I believe they all have the same layout and number of tiles, but depending on your interests you might find yourself disappointed. I was hoping for Winterspring or Tanaris but I got Ashenvale. That said, it’s still an amazing looking board and very high quality.

   For someone who has read a little into the game and is confident they will enjoy it, this pack is definitely worth the extra money compared to the basic starter.

   Deluxe starter is a great thing for starting this cool game (WoW making money in every form:-)and in comparison to normal starter it’s so much better! It costs a bit more, true, but for that money one will get so much more than the normal starter provides- good quality map and most important 6 characters of which not all are common (like in normal starter), and the way the games should be played is 3 vs 3 characters not 2 v 2 like you get in normal starter.
   So if you are interested in trying this pretty good and intriguing game this is the product you have to start with.

   Regarding the post above, the bases where the miniatures are mounted ARE indeed pretty badly made. Every 2nd or 3rd base won’t connect to the miniature strong enough and pretty often when lifted the miniature will fall off.
   Very stupid and annoying thing in this generally pretty good game.
   If you like World of Warcraft its (almost) must-try

   The game is fun to play and it seems like there is a good amount of variation. The deluxe map board is a great upgrade from the paper map. My only real complaint is that none of the minis snap into the bases. They fit well and spin well enough but they do not lock into the base making it hard to move them around the board without pulling them out completely.

   Overall it is a fun game and is worth buying but be aware of the minor defect.

    From PlayingWithMyWeiner.com:

    I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since 2005. I swore I would never play the WoW Trading Card Game because I didn’t want to get sucked in like I did in 1997 with Magic: The Money Pit. My resolve faded when my best friend bought one booster pack to see what the art was like and found a Papa Hummel’s Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuits Card to be used in-game. Despite the several boxes of cards I’ve bought, I don’t really dig the game. It’s an improvement over Magic in that anything can be used as a resource, but, just as in Magic, all it takes is a few number crunchers to break the game.

    The mini game seems different. For one thing, it didn’t drag on forever and eighteen days. There was a solid, achievable win condition that could be reached in a reasonable amount of time. For another thing, the “inventory management” was much smoother in this game, where you select just a few powers to be in your “hotbar” and use them strategically, instead of managing thousands of options to get a deck of around 60, inside which is that one special card you hope comes up. Finally, the little pieces look cool. You can either keep them on their little game pedestals or take them out and let them adorn your desk. For a WoW geek like me, this seems like a good idea.

    The WoW Mini game is coming from Upper Deck in November, and I think I’ll at least pick up the Starter Pack.

    This is a great game if you like miniatures, board games, RPG style rollers, etc. It combines the WoW lore and creature set with a timing system that makes the game move a bit slowly at first, but overall makes it a unique play style and a lot of fun.

    While I would prefer to paint the miniatures myself, these come prepainted on soft plastic (some bend). The appearance of most in the set is top notch. Some are sloppily done, others downright poor. But overall the moulding and painting is first rate.

    The maps are modular, so you can combine as many as you like for large games. You can also change spawn points and victory point locations.

    The addition of character cards (not to be confused with the WoW collectable card game) makes it fun and each character unique. Action cards for different characters add yet another layer of depth to the game play.

    The snap-on bases don’t always work, but when they function properly health and game “ticks” are easily tracked right on each character. It can be frustrating when a base pops loose in the middle of a game…

    And while this still does not quite accomplish my goal of finding something to give portable video games a run for their money during the winter… it is a lot of fun and worth the investment for a starter set and a couple of expansion packs.
