I'm mainly looking for the expansion sets, doesn't matter what state the minis are in as long as the sets are complete and playable, plus I'd also like any spare adventure cards from the main game.
I know this probably should have gone in the wish lists but I was hoping it would get a better notice here.
:icon_w00t:
Thanks
Bruenor
I have it all (and would be willing to part with it all). I've bundled all the cards & boards into the main box to save space. The counters are all in a turkish delights boxc (again, inside the main box) as are the mini's. The big dragon is outside the main box (but I could probably somehow pavck it up anf send it your way).
I've lost one or two of those green dice with irregular numbers on them (nothing above a 3 or a 4 but there's an unequal distribution).
I believe I once used the inside of the box lid as a spray tray (and only once) so the lid may be black on the inside.
So that's the original game, all the expansions with all cards, tokens and pieces present and correct. The only thing missing is the dark elf sorceress model (sold it to a dark elf player) but it's been replaced with a duplicate (from when GW released the character models again as boxed sets of cheapo character models).
Are you interested? I'd rather lose it all in one go or not at all than just part with pieces of it although all the cards are sorted into little plastic bags by deck (with expansion cards being separate but the huge main adventure deck's been split into 3 or 4 because it wouldn't all fit into the one bag).
I want the archaeologist, and I'd pay a hefty ransom for him!
Can I see a pic of the dragon?

He wrote 3rd Ed. That's the really crud*py cartoony one from the 90's with all the skulls and spieks and really bad artwork, right?
Before sending it his way I was actualy going to ask "are you sure you want this?" I wouldn't ever want to inflict some crud* that bad on anyone unless they knew what theyw ere getting into. It was produced at the height of GW's bad 90's period when they tried to appela to the american market more by putting huge skulls and spikes on everything and using really cartoony art because "americans like big things".

The mini's weren't much better (and some of them like the minotaur made it straight into Warhammer Quest too in all their 90's naffness with only a weapon swap or, in some cases, no change at all).
Yes folks, in the mid to late 90's GWuh art really became that bad for about four to seven years before they sorted themselves out and made it good again.
I'm looking for the "indiana jones" mini. He's from Talisman Timescape:

That little guy would go well with the Idol set I will be releasing soon...
Timescape was 2nd Ed, not 3rd.
I'm very interested in the lot Balgin, please PM me any ideas you have on a price and suchforth.
Thanks mate.
What about the box? It's a big box but the dragon wouldn't fit inside it (height). So I'll probably put the dragon in a reaper order box (they're big). Would you want the Talisman box or would you be happy to have all the components packed into a different box (a more post friendly box)?
Not bothered about teh actual Talisman box itself more the game parts and pieces, so if you wanted to put in in a better more post friendly box that would be fine with me, you mentioned that you has lost a couple of the relams dice, did you still have one, coz that's all you really need for the game, if not it doesn't matter I have a 4 sided die that would fill in nicely.

Yes I still have one :). It's in my dice bag (and that's a big dice bag :)). Somehow I managed to pick up a thirteenth heroquest die recently. I've only ever had twelve of them before but now another one's sprang up. They're breeding I tell you! Seriously, four came with Heroquest then I bought 8 more in the late 90's. Now there's another one and I haven't seen any others in anyone else's possession so there's simply no other explanation.
No pic of the dragon?

Wait and see. It's one of those crud*py generic S bend things they did in the 90's one a typical monster base but with a few dibbers on the inside of the lip of the base to make it fit on as the top of the tower.

Then there is no need for the pic
Yeah it was practiaclly the same as the Dogs of War Plastic Dragon, but with no rider.
Call me weird if you like, but I love all that stuff!!!
Not weird, its all up to personal taste. I just cant get into the S-bends
I've found both the missing green dice. They were in the Talisman box so I do have all three :p. So the only thing missing is the dark elf sorceress. The annoying thing is that I know I've got an identical replacement somewhere in my room but I simply can't find her yet (it'll take a while for me to look). I also cut the character background blurbs off the side of the expansion set boxes and put them in the big box too.
The main board's big and only folds in half (not into quarters) so I'm not sure how I'm going to send that yet.
I've just taken 20 photo's of it and couldn't resist putting the tower together one last time.
That's great news, don't worry about the DE Sorceress I'm sure I have one somewhere, from when they gave them away on the front of the WD.
Did you get my last PM?

Yep, replied to it too, I think :p.
Sorry, my mail server's being at little slow, maybe something to do with the thunderstorm we're having.
Okay, any suggestions on what to try to fit this board into folks? Clearly it folds down the middle but hopefuly the picture gives you a fairly good estimate of it's size.

I would go for the sending separate sandwiched between to pieces of cardboard, folded in half to cut the size down.
OOooooo I can't wait to play the game again
Here's some pictures (I omitted the dragon ones but it's still visible in the penultimate pic).

Lovely, just the ticket.
Is the Halfling in the minis bunch, is he too small for me to notice, or is that him hiding up with the Druid?
He's lying across the druid's head (next to the other wizard with the telescope).
Can you post a picture of all the figure's laying flat so you can see there front as i think i have some of those figures.
I'll see if I can borrow the camera again tomorrow.
If you've got all that stuff to post, it seems to me you might as well put the board in the box with everything else and just wrap the box in brown paper to send it.
Unless I misunderstood something (which is quite possible), in which case, just ignore me ... :)
Yeah that would be OK too, hadn't though of that to be honest, the only problem is that the dragon won't fit in the main game box, right Balgin?

Well I could try to rip it to pieces but as it currently is, it wouldn't fit.
Also it's one of the fragile 90's game boxes (really thin cardboard) and I wouldn't want anything falling out of it in the post if a side burst or anything.
Then just stick that in a slightly larger box so you can fit the dragon in with it
Nah, let just proceed with the better box, and board at a later date if that's OK?
BTW the letter is in the post today, all being well you should get it in tomorrow's post.
