Title: Minifigs 1970s SciFi figures
Post by: SteveBurt on February 13, 2020, 04:56:07 PM: I have a small collection of the old Minifigs SciFi range from the 1970s, all unpainted. Aquila Death Angel, Terresti Mad Rider etc. I guess about 12 figures. Is there a market for this stuff on E-bay? Or should I re-purpose them for some sort of Saga Age of Magic army?

Personally I'm still hankering for the old Barry Minot sci fi ranges, he did some Haggis types and Sherlock Holmes ones as well. All for a short time so not easy to find.

I'm seriously considering getting some of the vehicles and of those space troopers, even though they'll probably not fit any of my other Scifi stuff...
