That's BS and recasting wasn't the topic over there. It was an unsavory seller. Maybe the thread had run it's course, or maybe not. Having someone tell me its over by locking just pisses me off.

Fair point Snew - but I never said recasting was the topic - my point is that I think inappropriate slating of eBayers is risky business as both this and the locked thread imply.

yeah, I got 2 teams (pro elf and lizardman) both were recasts

It's sad but even Pro Elves you get from GW look like recasts.

The quality on them sucks!

I got done by a recaster too, in fact two different recasters!! Bidding on 2 Puggy baconbreaths and when they arrived they both looked like recasts. As did an Orc Blitzer that I bought. I hate recasters

Not being a collector, I've a neutral view on recasting, especially stuff that's out of print (and not likely to be put back if production) IF it's made clear it's not an original. Paying top money for an item that's not what it claims to be is wrong though, and I understand why people get p*ssed off.

Recasting stuff that's available now is plain wrong though (especially from the small indie makers).

Guys, these must me recasts,

I live 5 miles from this guy and went to his house. he wasn't in but his mate was. i bought 3 for Â£10!!!!

I think this sums it up.

I am no expert, but i presume they are recasts, but very good quaity ones IMO, quite heavy and not much flash.

I will take him to Spikey in a few weeks to gague oppinion

Hi all,
he just sold another one. This one went for around 25Â£.

I talked to the seller in question, and he told me that the 3 he sold as a batch were for 20Â£ - not 10Â£.
He also asked me to convey this message to you all:
Anyway to put the record straight, these miniatures are genuine 'Games Workshop' stock. All of my minatures were bought either through the high street store or via my friend who worked there at the time. The 9 Bloodbowl Ogres were bought for a project that never happened and were put away into store as a financial investment. I have literally hundreds of 'out of production' miniatures and boxed sets and would gladly send you some photos if your interested or if you think its too good to be true! These trolls might be quite rare now but they were not when i bought them!
Out of the 9 in my possesion, only 3 remain so once their gone, their gone! If you would kindly give me the website address where you got this information i would be happy to answer any questions or missunderstandings, or if you prefer you could republish this message yourself. I have absolutely nothing to hide.
Many thanks, Chris.

Cheers
Martin
