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.

Thanks

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!

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".

Talisman 3rd ed pictures.

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...

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)?

Bruenor Odinson

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.
