About half of the d6s had pips and the other half had numbers. Overall this was a very satisfying purchase. In total I got:30 d20s5 d12s21 d10s (3 of which numbered 00-90)6 d8s32 d6s7 d4sOf the d6s, 7 were tiny and 1 was extra large. Also 3 of them had a sword symbol in place of the 6 which is pretty cool.A number of the dice had smudgy numbers, like the ink had smeared but that's pretty minor.They range in all different colors and textures. A few of them are hard to read because the number and the die are very similar in color but I don't mind.I do wish the types of dice were distributed more evenly (30 d20s is a little excessive) but I still highly recommend this purchase.To anyone who likes collecting dice: GET THIS.PS: If you are ordering from Canada, go with Rookies HQ, they are the only guys with reasonable shipping rates.
The dice are colorful, variated, and they come in a very good number, given the price. However, even though all are obviously new, some (less than 5%) are "blurred" (the numbers) or with minor fabric defects. Another issue is that the amount of dice are far from even: there are much more d6's, d10's and d20's - what is balanced according to the needs of most RPGs, but may not be desirable.
The collection was mostly speckled dice with a few solids. There's a few where the inking of the numbers isn't quite complete, but it's clear what the number is. Very satisfied. For some, it's obvious that the dice were molded as they were changing colors, but actually, that makes them cooler as far as I'm concerned. This doesn't detract from the value for me, because the price for what I got was so cheap.I'd have preferred more d4's and d12's, but I the results were expected from the other reviews.The sets contained, (not counting special set):d20: 19/26 d12: 5/6 d10: 22/21 d10(00): 2/5 d8: 11/5 d6(num): 8/6 d6(pips): 13/12 d6(pips + warhammer for six):2/0d6(pips + predatory cat(). The only clear dice were 4 d10s and 2 clear d6 with pips in the two sets. I suspect the high incidence of speckled is because the speckles weren't even enough--at least that's the only problem I can find with most that I can even id a problem.
Both are off-white (sort of an ivory-cream), one with barely noticeable yellow speckles and the other with light pink speckles. I ordered 2 pounds o' dice because I'm initiating a new group who has never played. For most of the pipped d6's, I don't have a clue what the problem is that made them seconds.The two "special" sets of complete dice in my bags are actually ugly. I understand these are factory seconds, but honestly, it's difficult to tell why on most. There's nothing like a d10 with one end grey and the other red (or white and purple) to make things stand out. My thought when ordering was that I would save the specials for myself, but I tossed them into the lot for players to pick from (after picking my favorites first). for six): 1/1d6(large): 1/1 d6(small): 11/9 d6(small+): 1/1 d4: 5/2 I would buy again, but I'm set for a while.
I read the reviews so i knew the risk involved so I am happy. I am just reporting the contents:D4: 3D6: 35 (14 Small ones) D8: 4D10: 24D12: 7D20: 29__________Total: 102Roughly $.20 Each where single D20's go for $.75 at the local Comic Book Store. A single color set of matching dice goes for $3-$4 and a lot of these are Multicolor.
Got the Pound'o'dice as a contest prize, wanted to give the breakdown:D20: 26D12: 2D10: 27 (4 labelled 10 through 00)D8: 7D6: 30 (6 with numbers written, one with the 6 replaced by a hand holding a sword, 2 small pip dice, 4 tiny pip dice, 1 large pip dice, the rest normal pip dice)D4: 8All in all, I'd have been very happy if I HAD bought it normally.
