Title: Who got all the Chinatown minis!?
Post by: axabrax on February 19, 2013, 03:08:34 PM: While I slept someone put up 38 packs of Stone Circle's OOP China Town minis (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360597399033&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123) at a ridiculously reasonable price and they all sold while I snoozed and before I could even see the email notification from eBay. Aaaaaargh!!!!!!! I've had this search up for 2 years and with the first bite I don't even get to bid!? :'(

If the buyer was anyone on this forum, will you consider selling some of them considering how many multiples there are of each pack? I am guessing that maybe we will see them back on eBay in a week or two and selling for considerably more than the buyer paid for them. Apparently the seller didn't realize their potential.

I was fairly sure Spirit Games in the UK http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/ had some and Spirit Games are also mentioned on this website: http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=China_Town

They aren't listed on Spirit Games' website, but the shop is a not so little Aladin's Cave and there is an excellent chance that Phil simply hasn't put them up on his site.

So if all else fails maybe you can get them from this side of the pond.

Sent him a message, maybe he can sort me out...
