Fair enough, I think when I first read about it SRD was sort of undecided if he would write three books or four.  Perhaps he liked the sound of "tetralogy"?

We may be waiting a long time ... just checked wikipedia and if it is correct

The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
The Runes of the Earth -- (2004)
Fatal Revenant -- (publication planned for October 2007)
Shall Pass Utterly -- (expected late 2011)
The Last Dark


I think I may hold off on reading the series for the time being.

Sweet… I can't imagine a nicer copy after reading the description. My copy is about an 8.5 after seeing this one. I'll have to dig it out and compare. Is this seller the same dude sitting on the pile of Fazzles? I remember when having a Fazz was insane. I believe I had one of five known. This old cat changed all that. Anyway, great snag, and enjoy. There's something magical about these old tournies.

Nope.  In fact he seems to have been putting off writing it.  

The interesting news is the talk of a Thomas Covenant movie.  Lets hope they don't completely Hollywoodize it and create another disaster like I Robot.

Same guy with the Fazzles, he intends to auction a Fazzle early this year as well.

Oh nice!!!  I didn't even know there was such a thing.  I'll have to add that to the search list.  If you're ever interested in selling it, let me know!

Was this a mint copy?

If it's anything like the one I got from him, it should be rated "pristine", with with that "clear,crisp minty smell"  :lol:

If it was he did an amazing job of it.  It has older type paper and printed in ink not toner.  I am satisfied it is genuine!!

Definitely museum quality.  As are the Fazzles he sells.  Get one if you can.   :D

By the way, congrats Jeff!

I only learned about them either after reading the Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier, or from this board around the time of the first DCSIII auctions, when his TSR lizardmen, and a few various Grenadier gold (plated?) figures found their way to eBay within several months.

I'm not likely to sell it anytime soon, William, but when/if I do, I'll certainly post here first :D

I still kick myself for not getting the chance to bid on that TSR lizardman.  I had a manual snipe that went awry, and the lizardman ended up going for a song to IO.  
I've got both the gold plated figures (wizard and orc shaman) that I know definitively exist.  I could have sworn there was a gold basilisk but even Andy Chernak doesn't recall that one so maybe not...
