Yeah £21.00 for a nineties space marine captain... That has me gobsmacked to be honest. I bought one of those shown for eight quid on ebay last year!
Suddenly the ebay silly prices for these models are cheaper!
For now...

WOW, I bet its failcast as well, that shite I will not buy, or handle even if free

I dunno, seems reasonable when compared to some of the new Tryanid stuff. Yours for a mere £312.50

I think the marines are cast in metal? I’m sure warlord cast GWs metals for them?

Yeah I looked, they are. If Warlord cast them, the originals from the 90s on ebay are probably better cast 

[majorsmith]

Agreed! Warlords metals are pretty bad, as are Perry’s….

I think you are right. I got a couple of classic Eldar on the Made to Order type thing a year or so ago and they were metal (thankfully)

Usually it is in the description what they are made of.
Like this:

This finely detailed miniature comes in two components – a metal miniature and a plastic backpack. It is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base.

It's a good thing they aren't resin - if they were they'd cost more than cocaine weight for weight.

I'm sorry I don't know what you pay for coke.
The only time I tried sniffing it, the bubbles went right up me nose.

  Blimey that burns that does. I used to put fizzzy drinks in a cycling bottle until one day I pulled the cap up with my teeth and the gas shot into my mouth and out my nose.

shot into my mouth and out my nose. 

I normally have to pay extra for that...

I did similar with a bottle of Orangina.
Mistakes:-
1) Opened it, only to THEN be told, 'You're supposed to shake the bottle'
2) Place thumb over top of bottle & shake said bottle.
3) Feel pressure building up under thumb & decide to start drinking.
4) Orangina jet washes my mouth & proceeds to exit ANY available way;
    back out of mouth, down throat & through both nostrils.
5) Attempt to take on air at the same time.
6) Expecting help & sympathy from my 'friends' who are too busy wetting
     themselves with laughter.
