Deadlord wrote in Gold figurines:Quick and easy question, guys: Are the gold figurines from the TSR line worth anything substantial?
TollHouseGolem wrote in I am concerened its fake--how would you tell?:Based on the most recent sale of a similar mini for less than $35, the mini in question is priced 10x too high. I think the most I've ever seen a gold-plated Grenadier mini go for was maybe $100 or so.

FoulFoot wrote in Gold figurines:Uh, dumb question that I'm sure has come up before: are these (allegedly) solid gold, or gold-plated? I assume solid gold, for all the fuss. Electroplating in gold costs like two bucks. And has anyone sawed theirs in half to confirm the gooey nougat center isn't actually lead?

Run naked through street while shouting "EUREKA!"Step 4. Get arrested & offer your highly valuable mini as bail. Explain dynamics of collectors' market to judge.
dbartman wrote in Gold figurines:Yes, they are worth a considerable amount.
dbartman wrote in Gold figurines:Gold-plated. Wish they were solid gold, as I've got a few of them. I believe there was a promotion/contest where they gave away a solid gold nugget too.No, I haven't sawed any of mine in half to verify.
