I have a set of everything that isn't red/white and five sets of the white. The quality is excellent. Flint from the german fan-site helped me with the order. Awesome chap!

when you are on a German page (or any other language) right click then scroll down to the translate button

I have some of the special dice sets. I have the blacks and the oranges. They are a great addition and I bring them into play on a case by case basis. On every heroes very first fight of the dungeon I allow them to use the Black Dice to attack. They are well rested and fresh for the day. Sometimes I have extra tough monsters that roll the orange dice for defense and defend on White Shields. Those are tough encounters for the heroes.

I don't have the dice and can only judge from other people's description, but perhaops I can help you with some basic information. The dice are plasitc (not wood). The symbols are printed, not incised, but the printing qualtilty seems to be decent, from what people write on the net, they have no tendency to wear off.
Have a look ;)

Are the white dice the same pattern as originals and if so are they the only color that is? I also found some on shapeways.com but they are kind of expensive.

Both the white and pink dice have the standard ratio from the game.

I took this a while back, it shows the die distributions of the variants.
Pink and/or Red are the same as white.
