*WARNING* Likely to turn you (Goblin) Green with envy and jaws drop to floor

[Brother Meredith]

Had the day to myself with my daughter, so decided to pop over to local second-hand hobby store Mirfield Miniatures (you may have heard of it via various YouTube videos) in the afternoon to see if there was anything worth picking up after the usual morning rush. (Un)fortunately nothing that jumped out at me (did manage to keep my daughter happy with a pack of Pokémon cards tho!), but whilst drooling over the carded minis at the counter, the friendly owner offered to let me look at the back room where his ever expanding collection is held… He proceeded to show me into a room of dreams…

Drool indeed. I'd wondered where all the copies of Blood Bowl had gone!

 

[Padre]

Mirfield West Yorkshire or Mirfield USA?

Nice!
Fun stuff indeed.

Mirfield West Yorkshire or Mirfield USA?

Well I only had a day off and live in Huddersfield! https://mirfieldminiatures.com/
Would recommend a visit if you need some cheap plastic troops, mainly modern 40k and AoS but check their social media for regular updates on stock.

If that little lot is not stock for future sale, that fella has been bitten badly by the collector bug. Professional help is, I understand, available for compulsive hoarders.

We could all volunteer to help him out ... take some off his hands, seems like a noble cause.

He has quite lively sales via his facebook page. I would say 90% modern items though

He said he keeps back the older stuff for sorting, saw a Orc Warwagon and he explained he sold a couple for a quid before realising their worth!

He is in the process of moving to a larger premises and wants to be able to display some of this, so hopefully the duplicates will appear on the market. It is a great shop and gaming centre, he is really doing a great job moving collections and putting them in hands of younger gamers/lowering the bar to entry. They were a number of younger kids enjoying games when I was there.

^Glad to hear that. Helping younger gamers into the world of the old is a noble endeavor.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Indeed! There are plenty of seasoned gamers who descend on the shop at weekends and siphon off some bargains, but the prices are generally pocket money level for many troops.
