I have a set of unpainted miniatures, and I am wondering your opinon on value.  They are Citadel Miniatures, the Talisman Adventure Set, 7487.  They are in the original hard plastic container (blister box) and look to be unused.  The container has a crack on the back but has the original foam and descriptive card insert.  Found a picture of them here: http://www.solegends.com/cittal/taladv1.jpg

Couldn't find them on e-bay for a ballpark.  I've never owned any miniatures, so I have no frame of reference!  Thanks for any help!

I can't see them going for much more than $20.00 to $25.00.  I'd guess $15.00 for the set.


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Talisman miniatures sell very well. I remember a pack of Talisman minis going for more than $100. For this pack, which includes some "rares", I think at least $60. But clearly more on ebay.

I've been getting ready to offer these up on ebay, and when I went to review what I know about these, I discovered that there were variants to some of the original miniatures, and that my blister box contains three of these.  Would this affect the value?  I've taken pictures of them here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjxRByQ2  The variants/alternates I have are for the Shaman, Chaos Knight, and Samurai.  I found the info at these two sources:

As always, I appreciate the help and advice when it comes!  If any member here happens to be interested in them, I'd prefer to deal with you rather than ebay.  Thank you!

I would love them. I have been looking for all the Talisman miniatures, especially the metal frogs (and their variants) off and on for a while.

Staro,

You could ask on the Yahoo! Citadel group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Collectin ... iniatures/

Their knowledge of all things Citadel has never failed to impress the hell out of me.

That is some really helpful advice!  I will do just that!  Thank you!
