I ordered special and I mean special dice sets. These will come in black tins yea I said black never done before and you can quote me on that it's a brand new product and on those black tins the cryptic Commander logo all beautiful on them and inside a black foam insert cut out nicely for the clear blue special stuff inside with cc on the highest point in the dice. The 6 replaced with cc and the 8 replaced with tcc etc. I'm so excited and I'm probably leaving something out but let me know if anyone is interested in one they will be sold for only 24.99 and if you pre order them only 19.99 and pre orders end on may 1st
