Killjoy> I think I picked up my copy for about a tenner... though it was comming from america... I find that the british market seems a little higher for planescape than the american one.. it's wierd.. I suppose the exchange rates on the side of us brits though isn't it?

My best thing I think was picking up about 6 shrinkwrapped adventures for about £20... they're all in perfect condition and soo sooo pretty... I luff them. hahah. I'm a freak.

Yeah, that's really high. It's usually about $20-25 USD, so they're asking about double going rate. Not crazy, but I think they'll have the stock sitting there a while, heh. Especially since they're not listing it on ebay.com.

William, FWIW, that flask is not unique.  There are others out there.  They are hard to find and pretty rare, but they are by no means unique.  :)

I'm reasonably sure the flask was produced by the Alchemy Group from the UK.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) they, unlike the Planescape belt buckle manufacturer, don't seem to sell them anymore.

Some similar flasks:
http://catalogue.alchemygroup.com/trade ... t_72_0.php
http://catalogue.alchemygroup.com/trade ... _259_1.php

They seem to do a lot of custom flask work for various clients.  TSR isn't on the list on their website though.
http://www.alchemygroup.com/custom_prem ... ntives.htm

I'd love to know how many were made.

Edit: I've sent them an email asking if they made it and if so, how many were produced.[/b]

Since there seems to be no interest here in the TSR promo Planescape flask, does anyone know of any active Planescape forums where there might be interest?  Thanks.

For the record, the Planescape Lady of Pain flask has been sold (to a non-board member, in case anyone was curious).

** expired/removed eBay auction **




Couple o' wacko bidders on this one.  And frankly I dont see "celebrity ownership" being a factor on this one.

And that was on eBay, right?  You got yourself a great bargain.
