Most of the minis inside the blurry picture appear to be Greandier AD&D Gold Box minis from the Adventurers and Orcs boxed sets. Alone they are not worth the final bid price, but they're still nice to have; one can never have enough Grenadier AD&D Gold Box minis.

The box looks like something the RPGA might have come out with back in the day but I don't have my old Polyhedrons handy to check so I took a chance with a somewhat tepid bid. Perhaps Frank Mentzer would know... I was kind of relieved to be outbid in the end as the more I look at it, either it's just an RPGA sticker attached to a generic minis foam box, or it's a genuine RPGA product that's really kind of lame. The RPGA slipcases are much nicer. :wink:

I don't think I've ever seen TWO Boot Hill's for sale at the same time, by the same seller 8O.

The super-rare RPGA figure set...this set is open, and the box damaged, so it might actually go for a reasonable price. Most people don't realize what this is or how hard it is to find:

You'll break $20 now...I just put a bid in. :P I'm still chuffed (as our UK friends would say) that Ian got one of my copies for $25 :) I'd buy up as many as I could get for $20-$30.

Wait, never mind, "Chuffed" means pleasantly surprised right? I'll stick to the American idiom and say I was pissed. :evil:

Chuffed means pissed.

over here pissed means drunk.

e.g. "last night I went to the pub with a mate. I was really only going to stay for a few drinks, but in the end we stayed until closing and I got completely pissed. My girlfriend was raging when I eventually crawled home."
