Me too. I won't start a bidding war, unless there's something I absolutely must have.
And I'm in Canada. Does that get me extra points? We've got good health care!
Bidding war? I want to see you two in a fight to the death over my collection of lead figurines...
Ok, I'll try to find time to take some photos. Are miniatures that some amateur painted of interest (in the sense that you could either touch them up, or dump them into a bucket of paint thinner and start from scratch) or does that take all the fun out of it?
If it helps any, I have 3 boxes of minis from Grenadier Models: "Call of Cthulhu Creatures (6502, 1982)," "Call of Cthulhu Adventures[sic, they mean adventurers] (6501,1982)," and "Chill Nightmares (8501, 1985)"-- I guess "Chill" was some horror-based game system that didn't take off much. I also have some number of mostly Lovecraftian minis that I think I bought individually, including something that appears to be the same Yith miniature you guys both posted about (which is painted), and a "Mountains of Madness" creature (unassembled and unpainted), a Shoggoth (painted boringly), a nightgaunt (painted black, well, 'cuz), a Nyarlathotep-like thing (at least it's tentacle-faced), 2 Mi-Go, a "young of Shub Niggurath," and some other stuff I don't remember (I don't want to unpack the other box right now). It also looks like I got a bag of "props" like guns, boxes, saddles, lanterns, and stuff.
More when I get a chance to take some pix, I guess.
