2003-2004
Harbinger
Release Date: September 26, 2003
Number of Miniatures in Set: 80
Number of Miniatures per Booster: 8
Distribution of Rarity per Booster: 1 rare, 3 uncommon, 4 common
Notable Figures: Drow Cleric of Lolth, Umber Hulk, Mind Flayer
Additional Information: This was the inaugural set released by Wizards of the Coast. Although there were more miniatures in this set than any other, the quality on many of the miniatures were sub-par at best.
Aside from the booster box, the set also had a larger, 'Entry Pack', which contained 16 random miniatures, the rule book for the miniatures game, a 20-sided die, and several random card stock map pieces that were used to lay out and create a map to play on.
Dragoneye
Release Date: December 19, 2003
Number of Min a tu res in Set: 60
Number of Miniatures per Booster: 8
Distribution of Rarity per Booster: 1 rare, 3 uncommon, 4 common
Notable Figures: Large Red Dragon, Eye of Gruumsh, Black Dragon
Additional Information: This set is notable as the first set that had dragons in it. The quality on the rare miniatures of this set was dramatically better then the previous set.
Archfiends
Release Date: March 25, 2004
Number of Min a tu res in Set: 60
Number of Miniatures per Booster: 8
Distribution of Rarity per Booster: 1 rare, 3 uncommon, 4 common
Notable Figures: Drizzt, Drow Ranger, Champion of Ellistraee, Aspect of Orcus
Additional Information: This set had several popular demon lords from the D&D roleplaying game in it including Demogorgon, Lolth, and Orcus. The size of these miniatures were significantly smaller then the rules of the game (except maybe for Lolth) and this size difference was explained as them being 'Aspects' of the demon lords instead of the monsters themselves.
Giants of Legend
Release Date: June 18, 2004
Number of Min a tu res in Set: 72
Number of Miniatures per Booster: 8
Distribution of Rarity per Booster: 1 huge, 1 rare, 2 uncommon, 4 common
Notable Figures: Huge Red Dragon, Behir, Glabrezu
Additional Information: This was the first set that included Huge sized miniatures. Due to a clunky distribution system for the huge sized miniatures, some of the rares were particularly difficult to get, and remain some of the highest priced miniatures today.
Aberrations
Release Date: October 14, 2004
Number of Miniatures in Set: 60
Number of Miniatures per Booster: 8
Distribution of Rarity per Booster: 1 rare, 3 uncommon, 4 common
Notable Figures: Mind Flayer Telepath, Wyvern, Yuan-Ti Abomination
Additional Information: The first of a series of boosters that tended to be light on monsters and heavy on humanoid characters, this set was relatively popular with players, but dungeon masters frequently found it wanting. Still, there were enough interesting rares to keep the interest of most..
