 Pound-o-Fun!Mar 06, 2010
A great product if you want to have a "house pool" of dice, or if you just plain love dice. In my bag, I got...
10 D4s
20 D6s (7 numbered, 13 dotted)
12 D8s
25 D10s (17 regular, 8 percentile)
6 D12s
25 D20s
98 total
A very solid selection that would fit most games. I liked how many D20s I got, since I bought a few "grab bag" style dice from other companies (most notably the "skull and bones" set), and usually don't get very many D20s at all.
All the dice have nice, crisp corners and all dice are functional. There were no lop-sided or misprinted defects in the bunch. They all work, just the colors are a bit strange. Personally, I would only call half of what I got "ugly." The rest were regular looking dice, and a small percentage were actually pretty cool.
Amazon also has the best price on this particular item. I shopped around.
Great purchase to ensure you have the dice you needMar 05, 2010
I haven't done too many reviews, but the reviews on this product were what swayed me based on the distribution of dice that you receive. After purchase I just had to jump in and provide my numbers as well
d4 = 8
d6 = 24
d8 = 13
d10 = 27 (4 percentile)
d12 = 9
d20 = 21
For a total of 102 dice. With very few of the dice can I truly tell why they were seconds, and all of them are well formed and perfectly usable. In fact, in all I think they're pretty attractive. Very satisfied with the value/price ration in this product. Recommended.
 Let's talk what Pound-o-Dice really is.Mar 04, 2010
What pound of Dice Product really is, is the less that satisfied products of dice that someone, somewhere made and rejected down the product line. Thats not to say that the dice your gonna get is gonna look like trash, but there will be slight errors.
I got half color dice where the color splatted onto the other side [example haveing blue and red with a blue splat of color on the side of the red part of the dice]. Thus losing perhaps the even sided colors that the company wanted.
Take speckled dice where the evenness of dotted colors might overpower the full colored dice. Say that 10 is a pure blue while the number 8 gets a heavy dose of black to the point that its almost pure black instead of haveing that light spray paint/speckled look to it.
Also if the dots or numbers on the dice are bad they will also be in this list. I got ONE dot that has a thick block inside of it that makes the dug in part of the dice unreachable. I see that the paint might be too thick, or might run out. Also the color around the dot/number might have melted into those markings.
Overall Pound of Dice is a collection of dice that didnt get the A+ ranking. They can be low as C- to just a nice B+. I think the two color dice are about the most outright "Failed" product that I got. It still looks nice, but I think the business but a outright reject unto such a mistake. The bags are random and I got I think at lest 3 complete sets maybe 4 of D4, D6, D8, D10 marked by 1/2/3, D10 marked by 10/20/30, D12, and D20.
Oh and i got a complete set of those dice as well in a little brown bag. SO overall I got about 5 complete sets. Lots of D-20's in mine as well. So your gonna get at lest 2 complete sets. Because there has to be at lest one set of dice with those in the bag, and the free complete "7-die polyhedral set of special range of speckled dice only in the pound-o-dice." Quote per quote there. Which mine is a nice spooky white with red spots. Almost alien white skined with blood specks on it. Nice touch. Note that I did get a few styles of dice having from two to three of the same. One is really nice since the 6 place is replaced with a Axe. Two blues and one white of that style. I did get three of the same D20 of white and purple specks.
Overall buy for random dice and for large groups of DnD, make these your "ya you can barrow this one. Im not afraid to lose it" dice. Or just the random dice bag at some board game place that needs odd side dice.
pleasently surprisedFeb 25, 2010
Here is what I got:
1 complete set of unreleased speckled dice,
4 d4
8 d6 & 22 regular d6 (the ones with dots)
8 d8
14 d10
5 d12
30 d20
With this amount of dice, I was able to make (in addition to the guaranteed full set) 4 complete sets of polyhedral dice. As other reviewers have mentioned, you get a lot of d6's, d20's and d10's, but not so many d4's or d12's.
I am satisfied with the quality considering they are 'seconds'. I actually like the imperfect look- gives them a bit of additional character- makes them your own, IMO.
I highly recommend this item to anyone wanting to buy dice for tabletop games.
Pound of Dice is worth itFeb 24, 2010
I ordered the dice. I only got 99 but still worth it. The dice look fine. % dice = 30, d4 = 7, d6 = 27, d8 = 4, d12 = 4, d20 = 20, one matched set which was very nice. I could wish for more than 4 as a minimum but it is random. The d20's looked great. d6 were an assortment of sizes and colors to please most anyone. The others were a consistant size. Looks like good quality, will play soon
