Hi Mike---

Long time no chat

I'll be in CA in two weeks, you going to be in the Bay Area at all?

Is the TSR Bot5A a boxed set 2nd printing then, since it's shrinkwrapped?

Whats up Alan. I'd be willing to travel to Bay Area once finals are over. I was thinking about going to Kubla Con and sell some of my games there but not sure now if I can sell them on acaeum.

You want anything Alan? Ask your wife for some money :-)

Yes, the TSR BO5A is the box set so therefore its the 2nd edition. Still shrinkwrapped.....not sure how many out there are shrinked.....

Updated list right now. Added a few more items that I forgot to add and a item that is now sold:

JUST ADDED:
Ringgeister
Ringeister
Dragons -An Adventure into Middle Earth -unpunched -450
unlicensed Predator boardgame in Russian -vg+ -50
LOTR Childrens Game (recent, 2003?) -still shrink -12

SOLD:
Guidon Games DGUTS -SOLD

Keep your eye on the top list because I will add new things or put SOLD on stuff that is sold.

Also pmed back everyone that pmed me.

Thanks and keep up all the interests. Feel free to ask me questions on these games, etc. I am expert on this genre.

Mike---

What's the difference between:

MB LOTR Recall 1978? x5 -various conditions, inquire
MB The Hobbit 1978 x3 -various conditions, inquire
MB LOTR Adventure Game 1979 x4 -various conditions, inquire

and which one of these (if any) is the old Hobbit board game that we spoke about so much before (it had the raised section in one corner with a waterfall on it, that you moved your different color-based-versions of Frodo around on, and kind of felt a little like a Hobbit version of Candyland)?

That's the MB Hobbit. One just sold on eBay for $11.50, complete too. Kind of surprising since they usually go for more...

8x Wizard's Aide? Were you holding out on me you biatch! :lol:

All those sigs must have given fluffy dude artritis. The least you could have done is sent me the Bonewits probono. I earned that one.

Adam, I think the author was annoyed that I wanted him to auto 20+ Fluffies. Talk about arthritis :-)

Not sure, but didn't Matt Whalley auto the Wizards Aide? I sent you a batch so check. If he didn't auto it, then you might want to contact him.

Again sorry about Bonewits. I'm sure you can find another one :-)

Oh by the way, were you still interested in that Hobbit painting?

Hey Alan, like vermilion said, the one with the waterfall, etc is the MB The Hobbit. That one is much rarer in my opinion than MB Recall and MB Lord of the Rings Adventure Game. I think the Hobbit game by MB was pretty creative and simple.

Now I didn't have time to write down MB LOTR Recall on the list four times so I just put x4. Same with the others. Of the 4 copies for example, I might have one in ex, one in vg, and the others in good or whatever. If you are interested in any of those, I'd be happy to dig through my boxes and find out what condition they are in and you can cherry pick what one you want.

That answer your question? Anyone, just let me know Alan. Again, beg your wife for some money :-)

Mike
