I finally got a (very nice, unpainted, lead-rot-free) set of the humanoids and trolls boxed set from the TSR AD&D line.
I had an original set back in the day, and I still have most of the minis, but I traded some minis away to friends (notably, the troll with his arms overhead) for other minis, and still others broke.
Well, now I have a complete set that ran me $16 with shipping - not bad at all!
Those guys will paint up nicely. I don't need most of them, only that troll, but it's nice to have all of these intact. They're generally fragile, though, so I may have to decide if I want to paint them for gaming (in which case, I accept some breakage as we go) or just to display at some point.
We'll see. But I've finally gotten "back" that troll figure I lamented trading to Jay A. way back when.
Those look great! And only $16 seems like a really good deal.
ReplyDeleteTo replace the ones I lost, yeah, I think so. The set was probably like $10-12 back in the 80s, so it's cheap at the price.
DeleteHmmm. Some concern that you "need" that troll...
ReplyDeleteIt'll mean one more mini and one less andi-made troll counter!
