no I haven't and that is a pretty cool one but the seller is asking a ridiculous amount for it I can't believe it but that's the nature of this hobby

Its not rare really - everything in the box is mass produced and is easy to get your hands on. What he's asking is 450 bucks for a cardboard box.

I've seen it in an old WD I have, the set might be rare but the figures certainly aren't!

Well, seeing how much a Gandalf the Grey on horseback goes for these days, it isn't that much of a bad deal... :P

I don't think I have ever seen that box set before. Gandalf the Grey Mounted and Gildor!

It would be nice to have box sets that pretty much cover all the miniatures you need for a journey book :)

I've never seen that box set before either. It does seem like a pretty smart release for what was out back then, actually.

240 Euros when it first came out, so I don't think he has a good price.

how funny I saw this and posted it on The Last Alliance.

It is interesting how the price of that is so big now...

Was there every one for The Two Towers or the Return of The King?

Well that has answered all my questions...thought it might have been a US exclusive or something. Missed that one then. Doubt my 11yr old would have bought that anyway.

Really interesting set, I wonder why they didn't do more bundles like these? I'm a sucker for all in one boxes,.

Couldn't agree more.

I mean, 9 ringwraiths on foot AND mounted in one box? Just beautiful.

For a game that is based on scenario play I’m also surprised why we don’t see more of these sets. :roll:

The foot/mounted Nazgul would have been a great draw for me too. Those are about the only older things I'm still looking for but I wouldn't touch this kind of markup in 100 years.

I am the proud owner of this box set now!


Haha just kidding, I can't believe it cost $300 and someone paid for it although, I wonder what it would be worth if we counted up the sets in what they are priced at today. I think while it's a mark up it might still save you a few bucks if you bought it in that set at that price instead of individually now...
