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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

First of all, I was shocked at how much these cost on here but soon realized it’s not Amazon, but vendors trying to take advantage of the demand for Zhu Zhu Pets. It’s the Wii story all over again and once again, I’m not putting out more than what these usually cost. I got my daughter Num Nums at Wal-Mart for 1/4 what one would cost me here right now. I think I’ll wait!
Anyway, the Zhu Zhu Pets are a great toy for my 4 year old who wanted a hamster and good for me too, seeing that I do not want a smelly rodent to clean up after. They’re cute and I love the names. But seriously, they are not worth $32. Wait until demand has slowed and pay the $8 that Wal-Mart is charging when they’re in stock!

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.

Great little toy. My kids love it. It is definitely worth $[...], not a penny more …
