Anyone know if they are worth anything? Have a pair (actually two pairs) I could unload.

Do they have the paperwork that came with them? IIRC they sell for about $40 a piece (not in pairs). I'm in the market for one.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall them coming with paperwork.

The Fist of Emirikol came with a cardstock sheet. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

They didn't come with any paperwork, but then I bought them off ebay a fair while back, not from WOTC.

I could post a pic, but that article shows pretty much what they are.

Cheers guys.

If they are meant to be sold individually, I am happy to sell them individually. If anyone is interested, feel free to post/pm me and in a day or so I will either private auction, or just sell them, depending on how many people want them. Ian - you have already expressed interest.

I'm definitely interested (as well as in a Fist of Emirikol, too).

Unless WotC changed their plans, the intention was that a pair of them would be included with the Epic Level Handbook, according to the page linked to earlier.

Star Trek: Alpha Quadrant: The game Mongoose failed to make.

They must have changed their plans -- when I bough the ELH, it did not come with any dice. Not that I'd want them, anyway... but, still.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Like the WOTC page says, the dice were a limited edition: 2500 pairs (they're definitely meant to be sold as a pair), and only given away at certain game stores.

They were going between $10 and $30/pair on ebay a couple of years ago. I think I paid $16 for my pair. Not too rare, yet.

To confirm: I got mine with an Epic Level Handbook (pre-ordered) from my FLGS.

I'm one of those guys who doesn't know his Emirikol from my Olidammara. What can I say? It's all Greek to me.

Any idea of the current market value of Olidammara and Emirikol?

Variable I think. Mine ended up on ebay and I seem to recall I got about 15 to 20 quid for them ($20? $30$? or thereabouts) ...

of course that was before the 2008 banking collapse, the 2011 break-up of the Eurozone,
the great depression of 2012-2016 and the terrible cannibal winter of 2017.
(hmmm, possibly I may have given too much away there).

Still feeling edgy about hoodies hanging around on street corners?

Nah, they tend to be on the chubby side from all the Big Macs they consume - there can be good eating on a fat kid

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.
