They've re-released some of the others now:

Same prices, same sense of betrayal.  :x


Those last three models I got free with some order , I nearly threw them out as I thought they were really bad , but painted them up for Townsfolk for my Old West Town .
I wonder what I'd get on Ebay for them . :o

The weird thing is: I've been monitoring queen Vicky and her 2 ladies for years now on Ebay. In the beginning I've let them go at still quite reasonable prices but lately the Ebay auctions (at least the ones I kept trace of) went over the top pricewise.

So, when I received Foundry's newsletter I concluded this was it: I would now never get hold of them at a reasonable rate… The funny thing is I still had one set on watch on Ebay and guess what: I won the 3 figs at a price lower than I have seen for well over a year (and umpteen times cheaper than the Foundry offering). There is justice after all!

When I have wanted a particular "limited" figure I just set up an Ebay search and wait.

The last one was the "Rat Catcher."  Came up several times, one sold for £7.  The one I got, still in Blister was 0.99p and £1 for postage(!)

I am a patient buyer.

From what I saw on ebay they hardly eaver reached the Foundry retail price. There were some expensive one from time to time but the Queen set usually went for about a tenner.

Also there must be hundereds or thousands of these around and since they of no more interest for the collectors marked I doubt Foundry can sell more than few dozen of them. You'll get them at ebay quite cheap in the future so from a marketing perspective I don't see any sense in releaseing them.

I actually paid £6 for the 3 figures, which is a fair price (around double the going rate for 28mm rank & file) considering they are "character" figs.
