Thanks for your responses. I don't gravitate toward this aesthetic, scene & photorealistic patterns, detail/fussy cutting, or chipboard. Nothing from this release is added to my wish list.

I rarely can do anything with the A sides of Mintay papers but I do use the B-sides quite a bit.
The Great Outdoors - I love this one. The B-sides are great and I love the deer, bear, and wolf
Happy Birthday - This is ugly. I do like the blue damask print B-side
Bohemian Wedding - Super ugly A-sides but a few of the B-sides look useful.
Mr. Fix It - I love the B-sides.
Chippies (chipboard diecuts) - I love, love, love the music one. I'm definitely getting it. I like the sports one, too, but don't have any need for it at the moment.
I have the technology Chippies. They are a decent weight. My only issue with them is that they are off-white, not white. I haven't tried to color them yet. I love the variety of things in each collection.

I love Mintay for cards. The Bohemian Wedding and Happy Birthday 6x8 paper pads will make gorgeous cards. I like the Music and Doily chippies, assuming we can color them however we want (I haven't used them before). In general, though, I don't love the "realistic" looks, but I do love the unique patterns from Mintay and the paper quality is DIVINE.

When I see a new collection, the first thing I look at is the colors. If the colors don't appeal to me, I click off without even looking at the individual papers or elements. I immediately clicked off all of these collections.
I usually like Mintay collections and I never would have guessed these new collections were from Mintay.

Usually I love Mintay, but I can't see myself using any of these collections. Surprisingly unappealing to me.

I love the Mintay quality, but mostly use B sides. The Mr. Fix It line has some nice textures and neutral colors I like.
