Got a couple months to wait though, well for my necro's 3rd b-day... I'll buy some when they'll be cheap enough, haha.

The Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh may be a reskin of Greased Lightning, but I'll take the Black Beast instead of having to pay millions for the other. Sides, this one has a better name.

Doubt so. IMHO gonna be purple. But still, I want one so bad. I really like rollerbeetle-type foes but like hell I can afford a Greased Lightning, lol. Plus I find the Black Beast cooler than Greased Lightning >___>.

Disappointing list for the most part

Irukandji= Why not a scuttle fish instead?
Forest Minotaur= Why not an Ettin instead?
Roaring Ether= Why not something else entirely? Like a Warden perhaps?
Ooze=the new devourer ...worthless
Abyssal= Should have been a Shadow Warrior or Shadow monk...
Spider= should have been a smite crawler
Raptor= meh
Black Beast= replace with a Margonite

Cool ones

Mad King
Mursaat
Freezie
Simian
Nornbear

No henchmen minis I was hoping for. nor glint

I'd be happy with any of those Minis, except the Simian, the Irukanji and the Minotaur. Knowing my luck... I'll be getting all 3 on my birthdays......

The others are really really nice, allthough I was almost 100% sure we'd be getting a Smite Crawler.

Wait. They are 14.
That makes 12 for the Birthday and 2 for other purposes.

White Rabbit has no 'Miniature' in its name.
Smells like another Black Moa Chick.
Let's hope it's another 'earn-able' miniature. I loved those.

But what would be the other 'found elsewhere' miniature?

I had in mind 12, I don't know why.

Yet still the lack of the 'Miniature' prefix in the white rabbit is intriguing.

White Rabbit & Thorn? Awesome... must have Wabbit... wonder if it'll be a quest thing like the Moa Chick since it's not really a mini.

Would love the white rabbit to be a quest based thing like the black moa chick, that was much more fun/rewarding than just opening a present.

Something I noticed too. But we need 14 pets for the 3rd year anniversary, so there's none left for another scavenger hunt like with the mini-moa....

If this list is in fact accurate, third year minis seem to be a bit disappointing. At least 3 reskins, although Mini Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh > Mini Greased Lightning. With the exception of Mad King Thorn, and maybe Freezie, the rest are bleh. Haven't had much interest in minis since losing my Ghostly, so oh well.

To me, mini IG will always be the cutest one anyway.

/signed

Mini Smite Crawler - i've been waiting for this one and so have many others
Mini Kilroy Stonekin - who doesnt love Killlllllllllroyyyyyyyyyyyy
Mini Margonite - purple glow ftw

I'd also like to see a trade up program similar to the trade 5 pigs for a celestial one. Trade XXX white pets for a purple one... trade XXX purple pets for a gold one... Trade XXX gold pets for a green one. That way we could have a choice instead of getting stuck with a lame mini.

Nice selection here. Theres only one this year I'm entirely uninterested by, and thats the mino.

And I don't see why so many people have been throwing hate at the ooze. I know a bunch of people who've put mini-oozes at the top of their wishlist.

agreed. even tho I listed better ideas fo minis i would rather have something completely different for 3rd year. Like the ability for 3rd years to display weapons in towns.

With all the ursan love/hate they'll make it gold.

People who ursan DoA will have no problem affording their lack of skill symbol. People who hate it can make a pretty penny selling it. Win/win

Whites will be 50-100k for a month or two. Then drop rapidly down the 1-10k mark.

Purples will be 100k+xx ecto, as will golds.

Mad King Thorn will prob fetch 100k+xxx ecto for a few weeks at least.

mini freezie, mini black beast, & mini ooze shall be mine!
mini forest minotaur = reskinned aatxe.
mini abyssal = reskinned jungle troll.
mini inkyjinky = semi-reskinned wind rider.
otherwise looks promising
