Hi Guys,

Hope you don't mind the intrusion, but this was posted to rec.games.frp.marketplace last week. Thought it might be of interest.

TROLLKIN FORGE RUNEQUEST MINIATURES (Made by Citadel) For Sale         

I have come upon a fairly large supply of old Trollkin Forge Runequest Miniatures. These were produce in the U.K. by Citadel Miniatures in the early 1980s. These are all original, uncirculated miniatures that were never blister-packed. You may, if you wish, also order the blister pack backing and blister bubble at a cost of 50 cents each. Miniatures with the * symbol next to the price indicate that there are fewer than 50 of that miniature remaining.

Prices are based on the following:

  1. Stock remaining
  2. Size and weight of the Miniature
  3. Overall look and popularity of the Miniature

If you are interested, but need to know more about the figures, I can e-mail you a scan of the miniatures. There are a total of 3 scans and each scan is approximately 800kb in size. If you're only interested in one or two miniatures, I can send you a much smaller scan in zip format.

A note on the reference to Conditions: A game, or book referred to as being in "Good Condition" is one which show a lot of wear. Such a book is for the user, and not the collector. From there the condition improves as follows: Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Near Mint, Mint. A game in Mint Condition would be one found new on the game store shelf; Near Mint would have some minor nick or scuffmarks. A book in Very Fine Condition has a cover which lays flat and still has a lot of the initial gloss. Fine is a book which shows evidence of usage, but is still in pretty good shape. Very good shows heavy usage and may have breaks in the spine, cover creases, etc.
