So whilst doing my 9-5 job out of town yesterday, I stopped into a gaming shop in the area.  Good God.  The owner obviously doesn't throw anything away.  This guy had Epic 40,000 blisters gathering dust on a wall.  There must have been 30 blisters.  Four or five of which were Space Marine, the remainder...Tyranid.  Were talking Hive Tyrants, Trygons, Carnifexi, Dominatrix, Harridans, Biovores, Dactylis, Exocrines, Haruspex (sp?) and 3 boxes of bio-titans.  The best part was that the guy told me he is still selling them for the original blister prices.  So around $9 US.

I talked myself out of buying the lot, as I already have a fair number of tyranids sitting at home waiting for paint.  But then it occured to me that people here might want some, or I could sell them on ebay and make a little cash back from my past ebay tryanid purchases.

So I guess I want to know if anyone here needs/wants some virginal nids?  I'm probably going to head up there and buy them sometime in the near future, but it is an hour drive up there, so it might not be until next week.  Let me know or shoot me a PM and I'll keep everyone informed.

I've been looking for biovores, trygons, and maybe a biotitan.

I would absolutely be interested in a titan or two, as well as some harridans and biovores!   :)

Also, what marine stuff is there?

One blister of Land Raiders (which I'm taking) and a couple of Land Speeders, and one other that I can't remember.

I could use some landspeeders.  Let me know when you have a full rundown of the inventory  :)

Quite typical of these small hobby stores  -- they seem perfectly happy to keep a large selection of wasting assets.

I'd take just about any Tyranid that you'll give me, so long as it doesn't cost too much. If only I had a paypall or something and not just cash.  :sad:
