I got the Squats!
CyberShadow 25 November, 2011 - 00:07
In preparation for a potential house move in the near future, I am attempting to get my stuff in order. A while ago, I went through a few boxes at my parents.... and stumbled on this gold mine...

Looks good? It becomes even better when you realise that this is actually four layers deep.... and even better when I reveal that these blisters were picked up for £1 each! At the end of Epic 40K (third edition) Games Workshop stores sold off their existing stock for next to nothing just to clear it out. I just grabbed as much as I could. The trip cost me over £60 (the GW guy gave up counting at £60 and just let me have it for that). There are even a couple of Thunderhawks in there, and a few more blisters that wouldn't fit in the box, and a load of Command Eldar blisters and Command Land Raider blisters.
On top of that, I decided to clear up a few of the plastic sets that I have. GW Mail Order sold the double sprues of infantry for £1.50 each. I picked up quite a few of these too. I also cracked open a few Squat boxed sets - four boxes of the smaller sets.

These are now all removed from their sprues and the entire lot is compressed down to a single small bag.

So jealous......the only

the only chance I ever had to grab a bargain was back before they released 6th edition warhammer fantasy, mail order were doing a deal for 30 dark elf spearmen, witch elves or black guard for £20, similar story for high elves.
my friend rang them up and the mail order guy couldn't believe it, he assured my friend it was 20 models for £30, but after checking with his boss, it was right the first time, I was in the middle of moving to the USA and didn't think I'd be playing warhammer again, so I didn't bother buying any, my friend spent around £150 and made a killing on ebay a few years later....
at least get some of those items out of the blisters and onto the painting table....
