WTS: 90's "High elf army" - 2000p, NIB

#1 Post by swampsheep »

A friend of mine found the following while moving. He bought in the early 90's but have never really got around to assembling or painting it and realized, that it will never happen, so I'm assisting him in selling it.

Image

Content of the box is complete (as seen on below pictures) except that army book is not included (though if it is essential, we can include this as well) and the piture on the box seems to show 10 phoenix guards, but I can only find 8 inside and they seem to come in blisters of 8. In addition, there is one additional chariot included and 40 plastic elves from the starter set, some of them assembled and painted.

I am not sure what is a proper price. The miniatures in themselves are of course worth something, but everything being collected in this nice army box must make it something of a rarity. I am thinking somewhere in the range of € 400, but any serious offers are welcome as are comments as to its value. In any case, I will entertain a few offers before selling. I am not interested in splitting it up into multiple lots.

Content is as follows:
- 10 plastic archers
- 10 plastic spearmen
- 2 x 3 elf command groups for the above
- 8 phoenix guards
- 8 swordmasters
- 5 dragon princes, including standard bearer and champion
- 6 silver helms, including standard bearer and champion
- 2 tiranoc chariots
- 1 bolt thrower
- Prince tyrion
- High elf hero on pegasus
- 2 x 5 high elf sticker banners
- 20 starter-set high elf plastic spearmen, 8 partly painted and assembled
- 20 starter-set high elf plastic archers, 8 partly painted and assembled

All content (except the extra plastic elves):

That's a lovely set you've got there!

I'd love to make an offer, but postage and customs to the UK would be extortionate.

In terms of price, if you went to GW this would cost about £240, or 380usd. Obviously this is replacing metal models with plastic, and guessing the price of the pegasus. I think 400usd is a fair price for a rare complete set.

Thank you for the comments.

Are you're sure there will be customs? I'm living in Denmark so we're both within the EU.

Postage would be somewhere around € 60 or so a quick check shows.

Are you interested in parting out the pegasus?

Wish I had that kind of money. I'd love some of the stuff in there, but you aren't breaking it down. :(

As I wrote, I am not interested in breaking it up. If it seems that I'm unable to sell it all in one go, I might reconsider, but that is some weeks off in any case.

...I have to ask you, since you have that name: Is you perchance a certain dane, who also does larp, whose middle name could be interpretated as "mason man" provided that one only translated the pronounciation and not the letters, and in that case, would you perchance wear a silly red hat on your facebook page?

My screenname does not grant me much secrecy about my identity, really, as was never intended so you are spot on, Lars.

@For those who knows me on this site, I can vouch for this seller. He's genuinely trustworthy.

Well no, but your identity was not and is not mine to give out. Besides, i've seen plenty of other cases where I was certain it was someone I knew and I was mistaken, so curiosity got the better of me and I asked. ;)

See you sometime outside the virtual world I bet, until then, good luck with the armysale, there are some real gems in there i've not seen for a few years.

You're right about revealing identity, of course. But in this case - you're spot on.

Thank you for vouching for me - it is a rather expensive item I'm trying to sell and I'm not a regular at the forum, so I can understand anybody being hesitant about it.

And I'll see you in the real world sometime - if not before, then at Krigslive X I assume?

If I can possibly afford it. Yes, I just finished my study as you know so I might actually have money for it. Perhaps i'll even be able to replace some of my gear (some of wich is only barely hanging together).
