GravityThief wrote:Ok MetamorphosisSigma, that picture made me stop being a lurker here and actually register for these boards!
That find is absolutely amazing. Please share the details of the find... where, how, and did you have a mini heart attck when you laid eyes on that incredible treasure trove?!
Are there any doubles you would be willing to sell? If you do not want any or all of those, please contact me. As a Gamma World fanatic, I have been trying to collect these minis for years, and I would be so thrilled to have any of them you'd be willing to part with.
Is that a pack of Podogs at the bottom of the fourth column from the left? I have never even seen them!And is that a Yexil on the right bottom corner?!
If nothing else, if you would be willing to share any information about these packs (esp. good, close up photos of the minis inside the packs), I would be eternally grateful.
Edit: It looks like you have them lying out in order of pack number. Am I correct?
GravityThief wrote:Thanks for the welcome and the reply, Sigma. I will post in the intro thread as soon as I can.What an amazing find. I wonder how many unopened packs still exist in the entire world. I mean, those things are over 30 years old!I was a fan of GW from the second I laid eyes on the 1st edition back in '79. I was lucky enough to have purchased some GW packs as well as the two box sets back in the very early 80's. Happily, I still have the minis today, but there are a lot I am missing, and none of them are MIB.Thanks for sharing this with us, Sigma. I am really looking forward to the photos!-Gravity Thief

Some fun names there - "G-47 Mutant Do-It-Yourself 1" and "G-52 Robot Tankettes 2".
Now I want to see the same list, but with pics of painted examples.
