Hey, lookie what I got here! Let me tell you how I got this treasure. There I was,minding my own business, when suddenly I came across this little beauty. I had to go to the local convenience store here in Singapore to buy a phone card. Upon entering the mini mart I noticed a lot of Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh booster boxes. I was quite surprised by this but upon entering the premise there was a much bigger surprise in store for me. Arranged upon a shelf there were various vintage looking boxes of Warhammer goodness. I saw a box of ancient looking Tyranids (some Genestealers and Termagants), venerable Chaos Warriors, Wood Elves, even some plastic Plague Marines that I've never seen before in my life. As you can imagine I was quite shocked with this unsuspected and precious find. My wife was quite surprised too and immediately got me the box of Orks. I think I might visit the store again for some further purchases. So if you ever pass by the Paya Lebar MRT station check out the little store next to the bakery and you'll be in for a pleasant surprise!
Why were you in Singapore? that's a long way from home!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is very far away. We are visiting my wife's family for Xmas :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Great find! I have a TON of the old skool plastic Plague Marines and while they are nice minis, they all suffer from the same stiffness in pose. What exactly is this book though? Is it a catalogue?
ReplyDeleteThese Plague Marines must be very old, I really can't remember them. What I got is a box that has 4 Orks and 4 Gretchin from the old starter set for 2nd Edition. Oldies but goodies!
ReplyDeleteGreat score, I love finding old models/gamer dork stuff in totally random bizarre places.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly those plague marines came out in 2nd ed along with plastic Berserker World Eaters which I still have mixed into my army. The back pack and the bolter arm are plug on just like the plastic captain marine from the 2nd ed box. I think those Plague Marines are from the same era.
ah! thansk for the heads up! I'm over in Singapore visiting family soon, so I may have to see what I can find! :)
ReplyDeleteCool! Make sure you visit Paradigm Infinitum, it's a very nice shop. I also enjoyed the zoo and the sciense museum but these aren't 40K related :P
