Were they randomly placed in the Gren boxes?

Yes, it was part of a promo for the TSR Gold line of figures.  IIRC, you would get the figure and a form, and then if you turned in the form, you were entered into a drawing to win an ounce of real gold or somesuch.

Before you deshrink those boxes, I think the gold figures only came in the Orcs and Wizards box sets where the regular lead versions would usually be.  I've changed my avatar to show the two gold plated figs.

Woo-hoo!  I found a Dark Tower for under $10 . . .

It's this version: http://www.taloncomics.com/rpgrealms.html).  Is this considered to be the "Highlander 2" version of Dark Tower?  Is it really that bad?

Yes, I bought it.  I saw it on a shelf and tried to reconcilde the title with the cover art.    It is has all of the right parts --- a JG logo, Paul Jaquay's name under "Design", and a Booty List in back.  It is an official d20 release dated 2001 from RPG Realms, though I read something on a Goodman Games forum that said it is not to be spoken of.  

[Edit:  James Mishler made the post on the Goodman Games forums.  It reads "The QuickLink version of Dark Tower belongs in that same unholy parallel universe where can be found the Mayfair Games version of the City State. We speak not of either in good company...    "   Goodman Games • View topic - Dark Tower 2007 ]

No, I was at a Half-Price Books and found it sitting amidst the 3E crap, errr, soon-to-be-valuable 3E supplements.

Talon Comics was the first website that had pictures of RPG Realms' items.

Booya!

(Lesson for any new sellers out there: the seller didn't do himself any favors by hiding the fact that the super-rare expansions were included)

Complete Eon Products collection, here I come!  

nice duke!

that looks like a very cool game too - never even heard of it, and the map looks pretty cool as well.

good heist man!

Don't see these about much. Was quite pleased with this....

Anyone know if these are official or fake? Seem to remember the source in Oz, knocking off fake ODD CDs? And this one's got a curious purple band around the top. Don't remember that being there before? Has anyone got one of these?
