Kruthik Hive Lord uncommon and Kruthik Adult common were on the front table, as were the Iron Dragon (Sa-Weet!), the Thoon Warhulk (Ditto!) , Uncommon Ogre (likewise) and the new Ettin (meh).

Also coming up: Stirge! That will trip the triggers of many a roleplayer.

In 2009, and Aboleth, Rust Monster, new Beholder and a Troll paragon-level baddie are on the horizon.

They're still trying to find a way to get the big Orcus on the market but nothing is set yet. The icons line is on hold with no artwork even ordered for a gargantuan blue or green.

Starters are the current vehicle for new maps and while they're exploring other avenues, this is the almost exclusive way we will get them for a while.

Maps will rotate out of the skirmish game just as the minis will. Like minis, they will be legal for Vintage.

There's a new huge set due next summer (UGH!).

They're also looking at alternately painted commons.
