I figured I have to have a shot at it. With this number of figures you can't go wrong. Better too many than not enough LOL Otherwise can always put together a straight Centaur team LOL

Yep, I've seen this auction this morining... I guess the winner (except if it's bigd) will be a dealer, who will part the lot and sell it on ebay :(

BTW, this has nothing to see, but have you read my last pm, bigd ? ;)

Well yes and no. I figure that centaurs are hard to get these days anyway and the other person I'm 90% sure is a dealer having done a bit of research so I can see exactly whats going to happen there. Besides the last lot of centaurs cost me an aver age £15 - 20 a piece as GW no longer do them. Do the numbers and you'll see this is a steal!

this is a sneaky thing to do, does this mean that you cannot buy the CD team in pieces now?

makes no sense

I guess they are still available... But the BigD bid isn't so silly (...)

Oh god, I checked the GW UK Mail order website, and there are NO MORE BIG GUYS !!!

Is it something temporary, a breakdown on the webpages ?

Well, coming back on BigD bid: there are 42 chaos dwarves. Let's say he will part this lot in 7 lots of 6 CD each (max in team roster). I think he should resell them on ebay at £8 per lot, as a bargain... OK, he keeps 2 lots in order to make a complete CD team... Why not, after all.

CD: sold for 5X8=£40

Centaurs: there are 12. Let's say he would sell them for £4 each (another bargain), and will keep 4 of them (2 for his normal CD team, 2 for his only CD team)...

Centaurs: 8X4=£32.

Finally he would have a complete CD team and 4 centaurs for free... and earns some cahs for the hobby ;)

Well, the problems with the big guys is something I'd like to understand... No more Bolgrot, no more Morg'n'thorg on the website? Is someone has the answer ?

:-?

have to build a stable for all the centaurs first. Hobgobs can do the mucking out.

Does this mean somebody finally came up with something useful for Hobgoblins to do eh? Mucking out the stables?

But YES folks its true, GWUK at the moment has no Bull Centaurs. I have rung them to confirm this as well. Don't know about other Big Guys but the BCs have been unavailable for a while. A friend of mine has been putting together a team and wants BCs in them so I'm tracking them down. You will have seen me bidding on a number of them over the last couple of months.

So maybe its not just money to burn or me being stupid right?

Hi there,

if a UK resident should ring them and ask for the other big guys, it should be great. Thanks !!! (especially about thrudd, and the treeman, I must admit I don't have those 2 minis... and thought it wasn't a problem, due to the fact it's 3rd edition).

Many thanks in advance,

DFC

Neverdodge,

Interesting, you're going to be overbidding another TBBer. ConsoleGirl does hang out on here. I've actually emailed her in the past so she and I have agreed to split the team. I'm be following this one through myself until the end.
