I don't ever recall seeing one like that but I've been finding out about different printings left and right these days.I recently picked up a shrinkwrapped copy of TSR Knights of Camelot to resell only to find out when I got home that it is a different printing from the one I have.

Some of you have been following the mini market for longer than I have and may be able to shed more light on this. Maybe the prices for the rarer items are stable and not increasing.

VermilionFire wrote:I think there are a number of reasons for this, one of course being nostalgia for the classic sculpts. Two being the proliferation of plastic in today's minis market is making people pine for the lead, pewter and ralidium of old. Three being you can't PDF a mini, either you buy the originals or you're out of luck (unless one goes through the laborious process of recreating the mold from an original).
