Looking for DM resources/where to buy stuff

Hey folks. Looking for some advice. I am in 2 campaigns now and our Saturday DM is being transferred out of state. The group is looking for a new DM and I used to do that decades ago during 1st edition, so I am considering picking up the mantle again. My biggest concern (well one of them) is that both DM's I have now are amazing. They use music, sound effects, have a zillion miniatures for any occasion and awesome roll up maps. I have none of these things and am looking for resources or places to get stuff for DMing.

Any suggestions besides buying like 30 packs of wizards goblin miniatures etc? I know I will not measure up to the one we are losing right away, but I don't want to just show up with dice and a DMG. I am willing to buy some things, just looking for suggestions on what and where.

Thanks!

I would probably ask your current dms about music/sound sources. Maybe look at printing some tokens ect. On cardstock? If you end up enjoying the dm side of the screen you can slowly build up your mini collection with major antagonists. 

I'd ask the group about what they expect and hope for. Explain you're willing and able to DM, but the cash investment on some of these resources is a bit extreme, so you might just show up with a battlemat and some counters for a bit, and phase in more props as you go. Hopefully, they'll be happy someone is willing to keep the game going and cut you some slack.

Also, you can check ebay and amazon for masses of minis. You can pick up packs of random minis for pretty cheap, but then, obviously, you might not get what you actually want/need.

An alt to Pathfinder Pawns, this brand has been around and supporting TTRPGs since ... well they're basically a first generation TTRPG supporting company, like original TSR old:

EDIT: oh, and check out the Arts and Crafts section of this forum, folks are always showing off creative prop/mini/map solutions, some done on a budget.

Sure, but I thought we were building on a budget.  SJ's cardboard heroes (used to actually be able to buy them as sheets of card stock) are the cheapest game(piece) in town.  Since they're PDF, if you wanted to do something more robust you could invest in a card stock capable printer and use binder clips as the bases.
