Okay - the CRD is pretty cool

I had no plans on getting WotC's Colossal Red Dragon miniature. It didn't look all that great, and for $75? Too much. I did pick up the Gargantuan Black Dragon, since that was more reasonably priced ($30). That one didn't impress me with the pictures I saw either, but when I saw it in person it was pretty cool.

Then I saw a CRD in a local game store. Dammit...

$75 was still too much, so I went to Amazon, where (with shipping) it only came to $56. Still pricey, but closer to an acceptable price (I was hoping to get one for $50). Yes, I know you're supposed to support your FLGS, but as I said, at $75 I wasn't going to buy it anyway. And given everything else I buy at the local game stores (3.5 books, d20 stuff, Reaper figs, Flames of War stuff, scenery, paints, etc.), they're not hurting for my business.

Anyway, while I probably will never get the chance to use the dragon in my games (either one, actually), it's still very cool and worth having.
