7 of the same linemen is certainly odd. But he isn't selling any other metal models so it doesn't seem too suspect yet.

Look at the flash on the thrower and the 4 linemen just below it.

I would also say that any lead models I have seen have never been that shiny. Those are lead at that age right?

From the large amount of flash, the very shiney surfaces and the number of duplicate figures I would have no problem believing those are recasts.

Yep, should be lead... different colour entirely. No question in my mind.

Dave is correct. When Jervis released 4th ed GOLD! (the best edition of BB EVER!) he also rereleased all the 2ed figs again, all cast in white metal. :wink:

and now you know.

I'm not sure the 2e skaven were recast. Wasn't there a problem with missing/destroyed moulds or something?
