5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Dice, July 8, 2008
I have to say that I am extremely pleased with the purchase of the Pound-O-Dice mixture bag from Chessex. The dice have few if any problems with the quality (scratches, paintjob) and have no irregularities in rolling. I got an extremely large sum of dice for what I paid, making this buy highly recommended. In my pound I got:
D4=7
D20=21
D8=7
D6=58 (of that 37 miniature dice)
D10=23
Plus a complete set of dice for a grand total of 132 dice.
With the bag estimate at around 100 dice, I got quite a lot of dice over that (probably because of the small weight of the mini-dice), and am well satisfied.
I recommend this purchase greatly.
Lastly, thanks for reading my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars SWEET DICE!, May 17, 2008
By Amanda Hunter "Auvira" (Bakersfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This product is AWESOME. I'd spend easily 3x as much buying this much dicage at my local gaming store. Also, as a female gamer, it's nice to be able to buy them online and not get the 'alien stare' when I shop for dice. There was only 1 unusable die in the bag (a malformed d6), but it is a great marker for my character, so it's no loss for me. I definitely recommend this product to ANYONE looking to increase their dice collection, or get their first big haul. I will DEFINITELY be buying this again when I want to get more dice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, but bad distribution, June 16, 2008
I'll more or less echo what several others have said: it's definitely not random. You'll note that most of the reviewers who had a dearth of certain dice were short on d4s, d8s, and d12s. That holds true for me, as well. My breakdown (not including the complete set that comes with it):

d4s: 4
d6s: 43
d8s: 8
d10s: 39
d12s: 9
d20s: 11

All in all it's a good price, and shipping was nice and quick. In my case, though, I was trying to get dice for a group of new players I'm dragging into 4th Edition DnD, none of whom have any dice. I'm one d4 short of the 6 sets I need to give them each one. Oh well.

A Great Alternative to Professional Easels
Just like a professional easel, this work station is generously sized so that children can complete projects both big and small. Its durable wood construction ensures that it won't tip and it folds up easily for convenient storage. The easel also has a sturdy paint tray with cup holders for easy use and clean-up, and another tool tray that holds erasers, chalks, and clips. Four large, colorful clips are included with this easel. Paper rolls can be loaded effortlessly into the holder and a paper cutting edge at the top delivers clean cuts and leaves your artist's work whole. Parents may have to assist removing and loading the paper, as it can be difficult for kids to do on their own. (The paper rolls and paint cups are not included.) A standing easel is essential for any young artist. This large easel has a chalkboard, dry erase board, and paper roller to let the children express themselves with different mediums. It also has an adjustable height that grows with the creator and delivers years of use. The brightly colored tool containers are capacious enough to hold lots of different items and are simple for tiny fingers to utilize. This toy will unleash the little artist inside every child and could spark a lifelong interest in fine art.
