| Hi Everyone,
I am just curious! When you see the word "spoiler" in the header, do you avoid the topic?
For me, they are the ones I go to first. I enjoy previews. I look forward to each WotC preview for the next set, so a spoiler is like a another preview to me. DDM Spoilers by Greyhaze is in my favorites and I enjoy visiting his site.
What about you?
Later,
Mazra | | | |

| | I'd rather have the odd pleasant surprise when a new set comes out, but I always fail my will save on stuff like this. You just gotta look when it's there already. Having said that, I don't buy cases anymore, so it doesn't really matter to me anymore. | |

| Just make sure you don't snort your smarties
I was always under the impression that the whole point of DDM-devoted sites was the spoilers. I want to know what's coming up, what the quality of sculpts and paintjobs are, and whether or not I should bother dropping any money on them.
Granted, I could easily wait until the sets drop, however, I like to know if a particular mini I need for RPG will be showing up soon so I know whether to wait and acquire it or just use a proxy. | |

I tend to click faster on a spoiler link than a preview link.

| When I see "spoilers" I always want to know whether or not the content requires moderation. I think it's the teacher in me.
Fortunately, 99% of the time, my other need gets satisfied instead--the need to see something new and cool!

Yup, same here. Like M&M's without the peanut inside, D.
In the US, "M&M's" come in many varieties. Plain M&M's look like those Smarties. They are chocolate with candy coating. Peanut M&M's have the peanut inside. There are also M&M's that have almonds inside, those that are made of dark chocolate, and Dark Chocolate Peanut M&M's. There are peanut butter M&M's (they are like the peanut M&Ms but have a round piece of peanut butter inside the chocolate layer which then has the candy coating). There are krispy M&M's (they have crisped rice inside the chocolate). There are M&M's minis (which are the same as plain M&M's except they are quite small--smaller than a pea).Â
There are also M&M's premiums, with flavors such as:
Chocolate Almond, Mocha, Triple Chocolate (I believe it has milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate), Raspberry Almond, and Mint Chocolate.

To be honest, I don't really see the "premium" ones in the stores. They might be there, but I don't know if I have seen any. I found those on the M&M web site.
