Parece que a wizards vai lançar agora peças maiores que Huge.
Eles vão lançar uma Gargantuan (4x4) e uma Colossal (6x6) por ano e vai ser edição limitada e não aleatória (ou seja, não tem risco de sair repetido).
Parece que no primeiro ano (ano q vem) eles vão lançar um dragão negro G e um dragão vermelho H, mas eles já falaram que a partir do ano seguinte vão lançar outras criaturas além de dragões.
Eu não achei nada oficial no site da Wizards, mas se você for no google e procurar por dungeons & dragons icons vc acha vários sites dando a notícia:

In startling and innovative move, WotC announces big dragons for D&D Minis
I'm just teasing, of course - the game really needs these and I'm psyched for them on some level despite being a non-player - but it's not as if there was much doubt they'd do this eventually, given the buzz about the AT-AT. Yes, a Black Dragon with a 4x4" base will hit in June of 2006, followed in (when else?) August by a 6x6"-based Red Dragon. The line of non-collectible big-atures is called
Dungeons and Dragons Icons. Wasn't there a bad Hasbro Interactive game by that name at one point? Anyway, we'll let you know when pictures show up. Click on through to the other side for the press release.
Wizards of the Coast press release text follows:
*Larger-Than-Life Limited Edition Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Loom For 2006!*
September 27, 2005 (Renton, Wash.) - Bigger is bolder! Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), has announced it will launch a new product line of massive DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Miniatures in 2006. Called DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ICONS, these non-randomized D&D Miniatures will be available in two size categories:
"Gargantuan" and the even bigger "Colossal," both of which will tower over figures from last year’s highly popular GIANTS OF LEGEND expansion. D&D ICONS will depict dragons and other legendary creatures drawn from D&D lore, and will be fully compatible with the ever-expanding universe of D&D Miniatures. These limited edition monsters are proportionally sized per D&D roleplaying rules to be either Gargantuan (4" x 4" base) or Colossal (6"x6" base). Wizards of the Coast plans to issue two D&D ICONS every year, which will be available for a limited time only following release.
Here Be Dragons!
D&D ICONS debuts next June with the menacing Black Dragon, a Gargantuan figure ideal for both the game player and collector. In August, Wizards will release the first Colossal product -- a strikingly painted Red Dragon. Each figure is sold with a full-color map, a playable game scenario and double-sided stat cards, as well an accompanying standard-sized miniature to help start the battle. Like all the figures in the D&D ICONS line, the Black and Red Dragons are playable in both the D&D Miniatures skirmish game and any roleplaying campaign, and will be indispensable for collectors of D&D products.
The Minis Success Story
Since the debut of the initial 80-figure HARBINGER set in the form of Entry and Expansion Packs in September 2003, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Miniatures have proved highly successful with players, selling over 10.3 million individual miniatures. The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS MINIATURES HANDBOOK, released in October 2003, offers expanded rules for skirmishes and mass combats, new classes, feats, spells and more. In June of 2004, the 72-figure GIANTS OF LEGEND set introduced Huge figures -- at least three times the size of other Miniatures -- that represent classic, larger-than-life D&D icons, from stone golems to gold dragons. Future expansions will continue to provide both roleplaying and miniatures players with an ever-widening range of D&D figures to enhance their collections. More information regarding the development of D&D Miniatures and a special online gallery featuring many of the initial miniatures are currently available at wizards.com/dnd.

, vendi o huge gold dragon e o large silver dragon, já era meu time de 500pts LG, mas valeu a pena. Essas peças de D&D não desvalorizam como card games, muito pelo contrário, só com esses dois dragões vendidos comprei quase todas as peças que precisa da ultima expansão.
