I was already very much into fantasy due to reading The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Prydain, Lone Wolf books and seeing Willow at the cinema! Anyway, I managed to collect (and play) all of the expansions over the proceeding years. <br /><br />Of course everything is gone now! I don't remember quite how it happened (though this was in my late teens: I don't remember much!), but it was probably my mum asking, 'do you want/need all this stuff? I can take it to the charity shop.' To which I must have absentmindedly consented. Most of my late eighties/early nineties gaming stuff vanished in this manner. <br /><br />My heartiest congratulations on such a haul! I am quite sure there is a veritable trove of well-preserved vintage gaming stuff secreted in attics across the land...Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486311422850536804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-63027681743866576852013-02-23T03:05:13.827-08:002013-02-23T03:05:13.827-08:00I was a BIG Heroquester from the release of the or...I was a BIG Heroquester from the release of the original game and it's successor AHQ, both in 1989.

There have been quite a few full sets of <i>Advanced HeroQuest</i> sold on eBay over the last couple of weeks for decent prices, but I keep missing them; I'd love to have a go at that game.<br /><br /><i>White Dwarf</i> #134 also had a <i>HeroQuest</i> adventure in it, and I believe that the Americans got different expansions to us. The core set had some slight differences too, as I recall.<br /><br />I think the best Oldhammer deal I've had was getting the <i>WFRP2</i> core book for £20 at a time when it was being sold everywhere for about ten times that. I managed to find an auction that everyone else had overlooked.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-14508285089763054572013-02-23T00:55:44.867-08:002013-02-23T00:55:44.867-08:00Well Dan looks suitably smug, with good reason.

Last year I picked up a mint copy of Forces of Fantasy at a re-enactment fair for £5 which I was chuffed with, and recently the mother of a friend of a friend was clearing out her house of her(sadly deceased ) sons old stuff and I came into possession of White Dwarf 1-150 in mint condition which was wonderful, and slightly poignant at the same time. I had a lot of the early issues but they were in shocking condition. I often think of the late unknown gamer when reading them.Springinsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088330681756351208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-79739126573435204982013-02-23T00:18:56.269-08:002013-02-23T00:18:56.269-08:00Colour me green with envy - I would love to own a ...Colour me green with envy - I would love to own a copy of Advance Heroquest.<br /><br />Having said that the cheapest haul I ever got was a load of WD's (newer ones unfortunately), tons of D&D books, a load of plastic skellies from the old skeleton army, including lots of horsemen and a chariot, 2 boxes of the newer plastic Empire multipart halberdiers and varous other lead bits including 90's undead, Bretonnian knights and a few Dwarves - all for free as a friend of my Mother-in-Law was clearing his son's stuff out.
