Hi,

First, I want to introduce myself.  I was into AD&D in a big way during High School and College, but have fell to the wayside.

I recently was digging through the treasures I saved to someday show my kids and came upon my AD&D stuff.  Unfortunatly, my kids are all into online games and real-time shoot-em-ups, and don't seem to have any imagination at all, so I'm going to clean up what I have and see about selling them off.

I have the usual collection of books, etc, and have a lot of mini's, mostly Grenadier box sets, most complete and in good shape, and I've read the posts here and have a pretty good idea of what their value will be.  But, I've got a Gold Plated Orc Shaman that came in a boxed set that I haven't been able to find any reference to anywhere.

This was a promotion that Grenadier did, and it contained a sheet saying to fill it out and return it and I'd be entered in a drawing to win a gold prize (I think it was an ounce).  I didn't win the prize, but I still do have the shaman.

It was the same casting as came in the Orcs boxed set (I have that complete set, painted).

Does anyone have a thought on it's value?

Thanks in advance

Rene LeBlanc

Great, thanks.  That is probably one that I'm going to hate to sell, but it's just sitting in the foam lined box, so it might as well go.

I appreciate it.

I have a gold Orc Shaman, but not a wizard.  If anyone has a gold wizard that they would be willing to part with, please let me know.

Hi,

I'm thinking of putting them on E-Bay, but don't know the best approach.  I had thought of putting everything up as one big lot with a reserve of $500 but I've also thought of putting them up as singles.

I have seen several boxed sets on e-bay that were priced in the $60 range, then seen bidding on the same set at $5.  I'm not interested in giving them away.  I'd rather keep them than do that.  It's not that I need the room, but I do need the money.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks - Rene

I have:
The Golden Orc Shaman

Heritage Level 4 & 5 Monsters -- Complete none painted with box (don't remember if there was a description sheet)

Grenadier Dungeon Explores (5001)-- Complete many painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Woodland Adventurers (5003)-- Complete many painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Monsters (5002) -- Complete, some painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Tomb of Spells (5004) -- Complete, some painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Dragons Lair (5005) -- Dragon is missing (got destroyed during a move), Box, eggs and baby dragon primed and treasure pile painted

Grenadier Orc Lair (2011) -- Complete, all painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Dwarves (2003)-- Complete, none painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Halflings (2002)-- Complete, none painted, box and description sheet
Grenadier Dwellers Below(2012) -- Complete, some painted, box and description sheet

Grenadier Dragon of the month Red Dragon (Not sure of the exact one) -- Missing forearm - unassembled
Grenadier Bug Bears (102)-- Painted.  3 figures

I have another box with a plastic tray which contained dice and was supposed to be a stand along game, but it was missing any directions when I bought it.  I think it was Dungeon Dwellers by Heritage.  Have it boxed back up so can't easily check it. I had only bought it for the figures.  Based on the pictures on the cover I can account for many of the figures, but don't know which others went with the set.  I most likely have them as I have a lot of loose figures as well, but can't determine which went with the set.  I do remember that it came with some paints and color directions for each figure, but I don't have those.

I also have a bunch of single figures that were purchased along the way.  Many painted, many primed, many bare.

I have a torture chamber set that I don't remember who made it.  There are 3 naked women on various torture/prison implements.  One is on an X shaped wooden thing with arms and legs tied, spread (partially painted).  One is with hands tied together and feet tied together hanging from a doorway frame.  The last is with hands tied to a beam over her shoulders (like Jesus with the cross spar).  These last two are not painted.

I have a Dungeon Masters guide from 1980.  Don't know the version.  

Somewhere I have a players handbook, Monster Manual and Monster Manual II and should have some scenarios, but haven't been able to locate them yet.

IMHO, the following three should be separate lots:

(1) The Golden Orc Shaman

(2) Heritage Level 4 & 5 Monsters

(3) "I have another box with a plastic tray" ---> This will probably not sell for much since it's incomplete.  How much it goes for depends on what's left.  Pictures and description are important for this lot.

The loose minis can be split into separate lots grouped by manufacturer.

Don't keyword spam, but have enough separate auctions and keywords to suck people in to your auctions.

Hey guys...

I recently acquired (in a yard sale, no less) the gold-plated wizard AND...

A gold-plated Deep One from Grenadier's Cthulhu range:

6502g
Deep One (A)
610 Creatures From Deep

Both were in the same bag and I'm puzzled about the Deep One because I haven't been able to find ANY information about it yet...

Any thoughts???

~Scott

Anyone know the ratio for these guys? 1:100 sets? 1:200?

Hey Scott---

Based on your post to the Yahoo group, you may not have the Grenadier wizard, but may instead have a gold-plated Ral Partha or other wizard.  The Grenadier wizard looks like the one in mandalaymoon's avatar:



and neither of his hands are over his head and holding a chalice.  If your mini isn't one of those two, can you please post a picture of it?

This seller has a "gold-plated" Grenadier spearman that appears to be liberally slathered in gold paint (you can see wear spots at the bend of the spear, on a helmet rivet, and on the back of the base for starters).



All yours for the low, low price of $100!



No idea on the Silver Paladin or gold-plated Deep One. Might have to ask Terrence Gunn (author of The Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier), see if he can scrounge up some answers.
