WWW.titangames.com was represented at the local convention. Talking to
the
rep (owner I assume) I was told he had 1500 boxes of the old TSR " Star
Frontiers" miniatures (I saw Federation and Sarthar ship and Player
characters and Adventurer characters boxed sets.)
He was selling them at $5 a box (6 ships/12 figures IIRC) The website
shows
then at $11.25/box. According to the person I spoke to, they plan to
sell
them for less at [Origins???] starting the first day at $4. And
dropping
daily at $1 a day. Last day will be give-aways and any he takes home
will
be melted and the boxes shredded. He wants his garage back. Might be
worth
looking into...
Good news - the above qualified. At least in my opinion <grin>
Bad news - My Fed ships have what may be corrosion/lead rot/whatever on
the
more involved ships - I assume a garage is not the best environment to
store
them in... I get a gray powdery residue when I rub the affected areas
(not
tooo many spots and I am not complaining, I love the price even with
some
possible work to clean them up) so I (upon my return from my travels)
will
be asking all of you more about this... Not a lot but some of whatever
it
is.
Gracias,
Glenn
