D&D box sets: Retro component review

 A little over a year ago I looked at the 3.5 boxed set for D&D from 2006 by Wizards of the Coast and the 2010 set which went along with the 4e Essentials line. Both really nice boxed sets in my opinion and both better than then 2022 Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, if you are going by components and a few other factors. The best boxed set adventure for my money remains the 2014 5e Starter set adventure, it's hard to beat that adventure for both new DMs and players getting into the hobby, but as far as starter box sets go, these are some good ones. 

I will have a new video soon going more in depth into some of these boxed sets, but for now I enjoy looking back at this video, sorry for the quality, I was having trouble focusing using my new SLR at the time.
