Hello, did dice come with the 10th Anniversary set and if so, does anyone know which type and colors? I saw a post with a shrink wrapped edition and it looked as though there was a small bag of yellow, orange, and blue dice. Thank you in advance.

They are the dice set that came with the Moldvay Basic (8th - 13th prints) and Expert Sets and came in a wide variety of colors. Sometimes all the same color in one poly bag, other times a mix of them.

Post a pic or link to them and I can tell you if they are correct.

I attached a pic as a file.

The 3 6-sided dice seem similar in that they have sharp, almost brittle, corners and are a bit smaller than the other 6-sided dice. The pale blue, orange, red, and green 8 sided die all have a matte finish and seem light for their size with duller edges. The green set have sharper corners and edges and more precise numbers.

The Green set is definitely not TSR....depending on size, they look to be probably Windmill ( Due to the presence of 2 D20 (0-9) and no D10's ) but possibly Gamescience.. The 3 "6's" in the back look a little "sharp", as you said, to be TSR and could be Armory ( I also refuse to wear cheaters so it could just be my eyesight!  :D  :D ) but the rest look right for the period.

I agree with Lordan, that green set on the right is probably Windmill - I might be interested in buying those if you are going to list them anytime soon.

The yellow and blue d6s in the back, those are Gamescience.

All of the light blues and the green d8 on the left are TSR dice that came with Moldvay Basic/Expert Sets and also the 10th Anniv Set

The orange d4 & d6, and the red d4 I can't tell from your picture for sure if they are correct. The d4s do look right and they were made in those colors.
