Mythical Earth (Minifigs) a project restarted...
« on: December 07, 2012, 08:01:52 AM »
Morning chaps!
I have begun a project to recollect the Mythical Earth armies I had around 1976. Over the years,moves and other eventualities of life they dwindled to a few wargs and wood elves. If anyone has any figures they no longer need I would be interested in buying them. I have started to build forces up but would dearly like to get my hands upon some more.
cheers
Alan
p.s tried to post a picture of my current forces but with no joy.Is it me or the gremlins?

Hello Tradgardmastre (Mike here from Mercurius Atticus)
nice project to restart after 36 years. I had similar problems uploading pics starting out on this forum recently, and here is what I did. Upload photos to Photobucket, then copy image code on the right of picture in your Potobucket album (just left click on the code and it will be copied). Then paste this onto the new reply in between 'Insert image' brackets (second icon from left above new reply). Hope this makes sense.

I'm fairly sure you can still buy them, from classic miniatures website

Good collection here, I love the Treebeard figure. These must have been released just before I started gaming with metal figures (I suppose my first figures for D&D were some skeletons from Minifigs and a Ral Partha Dwarf in 1978-9. These ME chaps sometimes pop up on ebay at a reasonable price, often in generic bundles of fantasy figures

Success!

Ahhh, yes ummm... will start blogging again soon, but I found it took up rather a lot of time. Maybe I will do a monthly post or something.

BTW Minifigs website suggests they are remaking Mounted Knights of the silver rose @ £2.90 if you are interested.

Hi Alan,

I have a bunch of these for trade - I'm trying to pick up the Sword & Sorcery Ranges and just one of the old Science Fiction range. I've posted pics of loads up on the Lost Minis WIKI which if you haven't seen it is a boon for old lead collectors like ourselves. Virtually every company of old is here;

Link to Lost Minis Main Page

This is the SF guy I'm after;



For the Sword & Sorcery range I'm generally after ones of each when I collect as I don't currently game. Let me know what you're after on a PM and I will delve through the boxes.

Cool old figures, are you going to strip them and repaint them?
