I think that is a great suggestion. I know Matt stated in the other thread that he is still fine-tuning some details on Smaug. Not sure if something like this is possible, but I think it would go a long way to add some "dyanmics" to the treasure pile surrounding Smaug.

I like both the Gold and Red versions of Smaug, but the Gold needs some additional coloring like the Red has (on top of his head) to give it some depth, etc... I know Matt said per lljvr's comments in the other thread that he's still looking at that as well.

Matt also stated he's working on the Teeth, tongue and light-up eyes.

Even with the Gold as is, I'm thinking of switching to the SE and sticking with the Gold Smaug. I know the switch from the LE to the SE has to be made by 11/30, but not sure if you can change your mind on Gold vs. Red Smaug after that. Assuming you have to know at switch time, I'll likely stick with Gold assuming that I could always purchase a Red one later on.

But I'm certainly happy with the changes that they've made.
