COMPLETE BLOOD BOWL COLLECTION For Sale

Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember a few years ago when I set out to collect all the BB minis ever - and accomplished it! As joyous as that was, I've since complicated my life with family, friends, and work, and come to realize that it will be many years before I accomplish my second goal of painting all those minis. I feel like I've thus trapped this collection in my closet where it hides from the eyes of many other fans. So I've decided to liberate it by selling it to an equally enthusiastic Blood Bowler (or maybe several of you...).

Understand that this collection is not just one of every model ever made. Not just all the rare, super-rare, and ULTRA-RARE models every made. This collection contains FULL ROSTERS of every LRB team in every edition that is possible (and some where it's not!). That's right, everything from a 2nd Edition Ogre team to a GamesDay Lizardmen team, it's all there.

And if you understand that, you'll understand why I'm not listing a price for this collection. To be honest, if you have to ask, it's too much for you. That means you don't want it as badly as I did when I set out to build the collection. Not only is the buyer getting all the minis and all-filled rosters, but he or she is getting it without any of the months and months of hunting, searching, trading, begging, toiling, travelling, and deal-making that I went through. A ton of effort went into assembling this, and now it can be YOURS with a simple PayPal transaction. (but here's one bonus to keep in mind: Free Shipping to the buyer anywhere).

Everything shown in the pictures is for sale. I believe this to be a complete catalog of every official GW Blood Bowl mini, including several that were never released to the public. There are also a few other bonuses in the collection.

Keep in mind all of that when PM'ing me an offer. There are 41 complete teams here, 45 Star Players, and bounties of extras.

Best to all,
JO

PS: in case you don't know me, I've got a perfect rating on eBay (same username) and also contributed to Galak's editing of LRB 6 (or whatever GW calls it now).

EDIT: I apologize for not making this more clear in the original post. I am not splitting this collection up. My reference to multiple buyers was for any of you intrepid enough to band together to buy it outright. I also am not in any hurry to sell - no dire financial straits or emergency kid money needed, so it will remain for sale for as long as it takes the right buyer to come along. Heck, I may even get around to painting some more of it by the time that happens, who knows...

Not this this thresd is going to need a bump, but here is one anyway.

I just sat going through the pics you've put on, and tried to figure out how much for the set. Lets just say my motorbike, would have to go in order to afford these, purely because the wife wouldnt fetch enough money if I put her on ebay.
The silent auction is definately the most interesting way to sell these, and I know I would love to know how much they all eventually go for.

Might have missed it - do you have the extremely rare Zug?

And I wish I was wealthy enough to bother putting a bid in. :(

Good luck selling the collection!

I am not rich enough to make a reasonable offer unfortunately.

Yeah ... need Impact! to have another record sales month before I can look at this type of thing. Just outside of my current budget.

Wish I could put in a bid but I blew all the mad money on the Slann Stadium which I love and am happy I did.
