Sorry to sneak this post in at the last minute. I was bitten by the 3-day delay for new members.
Many thanks to Bill A for starting this thread. My apologies for not thinking to post here sooner.
The bidding for the Wargo auction ends _tonight_, Sunday, January 14th, 11:59 PM.
Of special note to readers here at _The Miniatures Page_ is that bids on the minis lots have been particularly below market value. There are some spectacular deals available for collectors and those of you willing and able to buy a larger lot.
Here are the summaries of each of the Minis lots:
Lot 24 – Micro Armor
Bid at end of round 2: $250 USD
Mostly WW2. 12 complete GHQ box sets. Some boxes still in shrink wrap. About 230 figures not in box sets. Mostly vehicles, very little infantry. Mostly unpainted. Also includes two Minis rules sets – Tractics WW2 and Tacforce Modern. Original retail price of everything is probably in the ballpark of $1,200 USD+.
1 box, Medium 18 lb
Lot 25 – WW2 Navals
Bid at end of round 2: $300 USD
Over 200 ships in 1/2400 scale, all of them manufactured by Superior Models. Mix of Japanese, German, USA, British. Some painted, most unpainted. A few are missing some smaller bits. Original retail price is around $1,100. USD

Lot 28 – 25mmTerrain
Bid at end of round 2: $60 USD
Terrain Tiles, doors, wall sections. Made by Fantasy Forge and Off the Track.
1 box, Small 5.5 lb
Lot 29 – BlisterMinis
Bid at end of round 2: $210 USD
25mm fantasy miniatures, still in blister packs or boxes. Please note that most of the packages have the cardboard trimmed down to the edge of the plastic blister (probably to save storage space). Over 50 listings, some packs contain multiple figures.
1 box, Small 16 lb
Lot 30 – GroupMinis
Bid at end of round 2: $520 USD
Close to 800 miscellaneous 25mm fantasy miniatures and bits. All are loose and separated by groups into ziplock bags. Most of these figures are vintage older castings no longer available (Minifigs, Ral Partha, Grenadier, Heritage). Three large dragons (need assembly) and one giant 10" long dragon (needs assembly). Most are not painted. Those few that are painted have a basic, non-professional paint job. A quick skim of eBay shows individual figures selling for $2 USD-5, with wide variability, giving us a conservative street value of $1,500 USD and up for this lot.
1 box, Small 42 lb(!)
