I first talked about Dragonlance way back here. I was obsessed with the books when they came out, although I reread Dragons of Autumn Twilight a couple of years ago and it didn’t really hold up. Not all that surprising.
I never got into the minis. I always found them interesting and would have liked to try my hand at painting a few, but they were too expensive. Making the sculpts is certainly an art form. The art on the box cover is by Jeff Easley from the Dragons of Flame module (1984).
Somebody give Toede a flame-throwing guitar!
2 Warps to Neptune 
I bought a set (magic users) back in the 1980’s and one of my high school buddies did an insane job painting them- crazy detail. I still have them.
It’s an art, and I don’t think I have the patience required for it.
