Curious: what miniatures would be in an Albionthemed army?

Here's the original listing
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Massive-Oop-Warmaster-Albion-Army-Pro-Painted-/351658640366?hash=item51e07d03ee%3Ag%3AslUAAOSwUuFWyGYR&nma=true&si=ezibV5T9qhM5wTTDIQ67xOvdjiI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Looks like Albion blisters, GW Marauder cavalry, Eureka Wood Elves, and lots of BoFA plastic plus a Storm Giant.  Some rare stuff there but I'm not sure that it's £500 rare.

Whoa, 630+ euro for a few rare GW-mini's and the rest readily available? Seller got a good deal there.

Couple of price increments beyond crazy.

Frankly, this seller is right to propose it at a high price. It has not poped on ebay for years, and this one is NIB.

I'm unsure someone will buy it but at a sightly lesser price it would go. Probably a best offer will be accepted at nearly the initial price.

I fully understand that. Halas, collectors value the most NIB stuff. This sell is clearly adressed to collectors.

The most i see prices evolves, the most i think we should recast in resina our pieces. Collectors can fight to buy original metal figs. players just want to play with them, even if they are not original ones.

But well. GW do sell collectable figs and always did. It's clearly an assumed market.

I noticed Vanguard Games apparently sell some vintage SG stuff for recent prices. They even had a bunch of Space Fleet stuff for super cheap. No surprise it was gone within hours. Think they only have some Epic stuff left.

Who wants a unit of the Knights of the Blazing sun for 212 $ ? :)

The rest of the seller's items are of the same type...

I thought the seller must have missplaced a comma but apparently not? :P
