The new set from the Icons of the Realms line is Tomb of Annihilation. Just a few previews and some blurry screencaps so far, but it's shaping up to be an interesting set. The Tomb and Traps case incentive is a must have!

What do you think?
I just pulled a bunch of previews from the Neverwinter Twitter feed. Monodrone, Nycaloth, two different Tabaxi. Also better pictures of the Duodrone and the Ultroloth.
Have I mentioned yet how excited I am to see modrons in this set? :-)
A dinosaur! That's awesome!
The set has been released, and I've added the figures to the ToA set page:

Images are still being added. It's a huge set (leave it to WizKids to get 80 separate figures in a 45-figure set!) so it will take me a while. Tagging will likely go into the weekend. But I wanted to at least get the basics in place so everyone could start tracking their collections.
Got my first brick today, as usual the commons have so-so paint however someone really took the time on these rares. The Pterafolk has great shading was a welcome surprise, my favorite is the Stone Juggernaut however I wish it had the paint on the wheels like in the preview video, mine is plain black. Let down on the amount of minis included per box just 4 I'm glad I got the older sets back when they were coming out.
That's good news about the paints. Hopefully they'll continue to improve as the line matures.
Got my first couple packs, my Valindra Shadowmantle is missing her head.
Ah that sucks. you can contact WizKids for a replacement here http://wizkidsgames.com/support/ or see if the game shop has it loose to exchange if they are cool.
I usually have at least one or two broken figures per case, and Wizkids has always gotten it sorted out. It's a pain to have to send it in, because they won't issue a replacement unless you send them the broken figure, and it takes a while. But they'll make it right.

From what the website says they replace it with one with the same rarity, so I wont get the exact one back, correct?
I've always gotten the same figure back. I think that's just to cover situations where they run out of a given figure and have to substitute.
Just got a 2nd brick no Acererak. And my invisible mini is Dragonbait missing a head.
Might be cheaper to get the Premier edition of the Tomb of Annihilation board game.
That really sucks. Are they using a different glue on the Icons of the Realms figures? I seem to have much less trouble with the Pathfinder line, and they're both from the same manufacturer.
Getting the Premier set too however wanted to get the Tombs and Traps set, option available when buying a case, and support my Gaming Shop at the same time. As for the glue, it's the same , this is my first set as Icons of The Realms/WizKids/NECA; the last one I bought was Lords of Madness from D&DMinaitaturesGame/Wizards/Hasbro and those I've never had problems with.
My Dungeons Deep Gnoll Warriors & Deadly Foes Dwarf Slaver had glue & missing parts issues (one gnoll lacked a head, another his tail!).
Overall, I have more such problems with Pathfinder than Icons.
Luckily, I buy mainly on the secondary market, and have never had any hassle getting a merchant to replace a mini. (I've actually had the reverse problem, having to convince them not to send a replacement when I got the part but it just needs gluing.)
Actually, it was a learning experience, discovering that modern minis aren't cast as a single piece.

Interesting. It must just be the luck of the draw, then.
Yikes!
I've just gotten a Merrow snapped cleanly in half through his torso! First time I've encountered this particular problem.
Time to see if my Gorilla Glue-fu is up to the challenge...!
