WWW.titangames.com was represented at the local convention. Talking to the rep (owner I assume) I was told he had 1500 boxes of the old TSR " Star Frontiers" miniatures (I saw Federation and Sarthar ship and Player characters and Adventurer characters boxed sets.) He was selling them at $5 a box (6 ships/12 figures IIRC) The website shows then at $11.25/box. According to the person I spoke to, they plan to sell them for less at [Origins???] starting the first day at $4. And dropping daily at $1 a day. Last day will be give-aways and any he takes home will be melted and the boxes shredded. He wants his garage back. Might be worth looking into... Good news - the above qualified. At least in my opinion <grin> Bad news - My Fed ships have what may be corrosion/lead rot/whatever on the more involved ships - I assume a garage is not the best environment to store them in... I get a gray powdery residue when I rub the affected areas (not tooo many spots and I am not complaining, I love the price even with some possible work to clean them up) so I (upon my return from my travels) will be asking all of you more about this... Not a lot but some of whatever it is. Gracias,
