That would be telling....

Mike B.

Also worth it to note the series has been considered for a full length movie for many, many years, but problems always seem to crop up. Unfortunately, I have so little faith in Hollyweird they'll probably cast Will Smith as #6 (or worse Tom Cruise

)

I just searched exhaustively, but found only one other reference to a sale of one of these mint in wrapping for a few dollars.

Does anyone know what it was made for?

Another "Does anyone know what this is?" question.

Middle Earth Wargames Rules S.E.L.W.G.

Was going to bid on this but got distracted at the last minute.

Hi,

SELWG is South East London War Gamers - possibly the largest wargames group in Europe. They run Salute every year in London.

Cheers,

Interesting. Is the book in any way valuable or rare?

Does your 'dammit' killjoy convey dismay at not having discovered and bid on this book?

Badmike wrote:BTW Gro you really ought to rent a few episodes someday; it's considered one of the top 30 or so TV series of all time (It made Time magazine's top 100 shows of all time), rightly so. There was never anything like it before it came out, and nothing like it until maybe 30 years later (In the Twin Peaks and Lost genre perhaps). The series is a masterpiece of Cold War paranoia and subversion. Patrick McGoohan is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for the info and details, Mike! It sounds promising. I imagine that the Prisoner is available on DVD then?

Yes it is on DVD. It is on Amazon for around $40 bucks or so for the whole set.

1975/6 Rules for Prehistoric Animal Combat ;
** expired/removed eBay auction **

Still at $11 with a few hours to go. Rare enough, but watch out for Lance's snipe if interested.

According to the seller, it shows "a certain amount of war". I suppose that is appropriate with tabletop rules.....

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

I BIN'd them after they were relisted, so I'll let you know more info after they arrive.

edit: you may have to poke me in a week or so in order to remind me about this, if I don't pop back up with "hey here's the info".

You can find cheaper Buffalo Castles if you are looking to read it, course they are later prints. It is interesting to see this auction though, don't see T&T get up there in price to often.

Um ... wow. I guess one or more bidders really wanted that printing.

Later versions were the T&T version of B2: they were stuffed into the boxes and given away basically for free.

That's one of the higher T&T prices I've ever seen. Did I mention "wow"?

They call it the Acaeum effect. Start talking about something, and the price will jump up. So, please, let's start discussing Mayfair...
