I don't want it mint, I'm not going to bury it in a cupboard, I want to paint it and use it. =P
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.
