I attended an SF convention earlier this year and found a dealer who had
a literal small ton of OGRE/GEV minis for sale. I thought his prices
were
a tad steep, wasn't thoroughly thrilled with the paint jobs on some of
the
minis, but he *did* have GEVs (Combine; I picked up 12 :), an Ogre Mk
III
(did not pick up; hideous paint job, and wanted $30), and an Ogre Mk V
(*did* pick up, primed only, asked $35). He still had more minis left.

No, I don't know who it was, but my point is go to conventions, check
out
the dealers room. You never know what you may stumble across...
