Wow, that has to be the most expensive single miniature item I've ever seen sold. That's even more than DCS's Grenadier Lizardman miniature. Did someone on the board win that one? The ones that get away... sigh.

The lizard went for about $350.00 I think (I bid on and lost that one). The appeal of the giant is that is one of the first models put out for the Warhammer range, it is very rare and was very expensive to own in 1983. Not many were produced and I have never seen one in the box. Last time this mini went up for auction outside the box it went in the $1800.00 range, I just could not resist it at the buy it now price. :lol:

*sigh*. I remember that one and the original Imperial Dragon
Error 404 - Not found
sitting on the top shelf of the "Games Gallery" in Edinburgh, for years. No price tags...

Even the "tiny" Emperor Dragon I bought in the late 80s still cost me a small fortune.
Blanked out exactly how much in my brain. *g*. Wasn't really into minis, but I liked that.

Yep, sounds like you actually got a good deal there. Very nice box/label, too!

Well, usually I never post my auctions on this forum. But this one deserved to be posted:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEAFB:IT

It's a first printing (orange flyleaves) and the condition as indicated on the photo.

Yes, yes, very nice purchase there. That is just the kind of thing you are looking for with a great low BIN and you are searching the back end(new today) listings. :D

Not D&D, but a fun find nonetheless:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... :EOAB:AU:6

One of the games put out by Fact & Fantasy games in the mid-seventies. They did a couple of LOTR games (Siege at Minas Tirith, Battle of Helms Deep) and also put out three games called the Warriors of the Green Planet trilogy. I have the other two, and just needed the first.

I'd been after a copy of the game for a couple of years... the last time I saw it up on ebay a few months ago I bid $60 but it wasn't enough. Seeing a $15 BIN about 45 minutes after it went up, I couldn't hit the BIN fast enough. And it looks like it has a copy of Mind War included as well.

It's just a shame to use up my one Fun Find so early in the year... I only get one per year it seems, unlike some others on here who seem to post finds with alarming regularity.

Regards

Mike

Congrats, Ralf! That is pretty awesome. Best of the year so far, I'd say.
I don't post my finds anymore. Get too much flak.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Great find Ralf, but I want to play the "1st print Players Handbook Fun Find" game too. . .

Of course, I had it up for auction the day it arrived. . . but, it is reassuring to know that you can still stumble across some deals on eBay.

IIRC, I think I looked at that auction, but I must have been mezmorized by the 2nd edition FR Set, because I never even noticed the PHB :oops:
