flea market finds: ready, set, game!
the mister's hobby is painting military figures from different gaming shops but he first started with WarHammer, a Citadel Miniatures Games Workshop product. normally a box of these miniature figures cost around £10 to £80. so imagine his surprise when i gave him this big starter gaming kit (all figures intact and complete!) worth £60 that i found in the thrift shop and bought for only £1!
he was so happy and when we did some research on eBay, this is what we found!
someone must have been spring cleaning the board games unit because i got these Lego pre-school community minifigures set for only £1! each box normally cost around £40!
again, bought for a song, this unopened brand new kit below will make a certain boy from across the globe happy this christmas but he doesn't know it yet :) he loves everything that challenges his mind and he is an exemplary student especially in Maths and the Sciences so this is perfect for him!
before i sign out, lemme give you an idea of what the mister does on his days off; if you are interested, you can also read his own blog here :)

ReplyDeletethanks paulette!
DeleteThe warhammer was a real bargain. My sons went through a phase of collecting them and they were expensive to buy back then.
ReplyDeletethey are still expensive until now anne and thats why he was so happy i found a big box of them :)
DeleteAwesome finds. Good luck with your sales.
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteThat Warhammer set is an amazing bargain! I have a Lord of the Rings set that is sadly unfinished and I had to pay over $90 for it! Your man's paint work is fantastic! He's very talented! :)
