Current owners: Shaker motor? Is this a required add on, enhancing the game? I have a Godzilla and it really enhances it. Godzilla stomping around. Shaking everything. I also have a TMNT and don’t really think it fits the theme, so I never got it. Does it really add to the game in DnD like that or is it less desirable? I am ordering my pro today. Also, anyone have any news on when the accessories are coming from Stern? Need me some art blades. submitted by /u/BrewKazma [link] [comments]
