ViscountEric's Want List
River Horse
My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria RPG - The Compendium of Equestria .................. $20.00

ViscountEric's Money-Is-No-Object Want List
Nothing Really. Kinda disappointing. 

The Imaginary Store List (The Pegleg Gnome)
Atlas Games
Dice Miner ............................................................... $29.95
Magical Kitties Save the Day: Alien Invasion ........ $14.95
Magical Kitties Save the Day: Mars Colony ........... $14.95

Avalanche Press
Panzer Grenadier: The book of Armaments Volume One: The Eastern Front ......... $34.95

Beadle and Grimm's
Class-Specific Dice Set  ........................................... $20.00
The theme of this months solicitations seems to be dice.  There a a lot of solicitations, and the pricing seems to vary.  The first solicitations alphabetically are these class-themed dice sets.  It looks like two separate pearl-style polyhedral dice sets in what looks to be a metal tin. Each class gets it's own two-colors of fourteen dice total.  For twenty bucks, it's a fair price point, and a perfect gimmick for gamer who wants more dice (That would be all of them).  Only issues I see are displaying all 14 sets, and making sure reorders are available, as well as extra stock for the popular ones.  



Chessex Manufacturing
Chessex is still one of the dice behemoths, but they also have a vast selection of colors and styles.  This month focuses on their Nebula-Luminary-style dice, with six different color palettes.  The style below is called Primary/Blue:
The advantage of having mass production is that they can offer multiple sizes and groupings of dice at a fairly reasonable price.   Polyhedral sets, D6 dice blocks of different sizes, even ten of the D10s.  Prices range from $9.98-$13.98 for a good number of dice.  Use that as your base as other providers solicit their products, then remember that you can still find all-metal polyhedral sets for $30 or so.  I'm certainly cheap, but I wouldn't pay five bucks extra for the same candy bar, so to speak.
