Hi all,

I'm new to the forums and from reading many of the posts, I know there are long-standing mini-collectors out there.  I've been looking for several miniatures from the Fantasy Characters line of Prince August mins out of Ireland.  They are a little bit taller than Parthas, but for those who know what I"m talking about, the detail on these are great.

Any suggestions of where to find them, or if any mini dealers/sellers have a stock of them?

Any help is great, thanks.

Hello,

Yes, the store I went to had a bunch of these - some boxed sets and a bunch of blisters.  I think the store is going to be around for a few more weeks and I might try to get back there one more time.

So, if you have a list of what you are looking for, I would gladly pick them up for you.

I've thought about that  The big trouble is that he isn't sure exactly what his future plans are - maybe out of business, maybe relocate into a smaller space, etc.  It doesn't really sound like he really knows when he is going to get the boot out of his current space either.

Suppose I made an offer of $1 per blister - do you think I could get my money back on that?  There are lots of Ral Partha 01 series, lots of Reapers, lots of misc stuff that I don't know if it even sells.

Again though, if anyone is looking for something in particular let me.  I have a list of some Ral Partha 01 and 02s that I will look for already.  I went through the Reapers last time I was there - didn't find any giants or composite creatures though.

I'd have a pretty good idea if I could see them.   $1.00 a blister should work well usually for monster blisters, but character blisters, it's hit and miss.  It also depends on the monster.  Things with wings and bigger monsters are best.  Orcs & goblins are probably the weakest selling monsters, but kobolds actually do fairly well, so it's not just their size or hit points.

The main thing you have going against you is the cost of shipping to the US, but the dollar is strong, so that might help.  I don't know if that's much help, but your situation brings back good memories.  I cleaned out a store when it went out of business and bought all it's minis.  Good luck!

If you have any other questions, just ask.
