"Missed, Regretted, OOP" Topic

I must have missed the Poll Suggestion thread, or I would have nominated Firing Line multi-part AWI in 25/28mm.
I got one unit of the Philadelphia Associators Light Dragoons (BEAUTIFUL!) out of them, and a few LI.

I also should have gotten more 25mm Aztecs from Naismith Design.

Ditto with the 25mm Frontier Colonial range. I love the Pathans and NW Frontier Indians. To my regret, I sold off some Bombay Sappers!

How can I restrict this to a top 5?

I must have missed the Poll Suggestion thread…

No, you posted to it… TMP link

25mm DLD vehicles, and some of his space stuff.

A lot of Necromunda figs, now that I'm back into that.

Should never have sold those off.

Battle System 15mm and DnD Boxed Sets for me. I really miss them.

Ral Partha cast an SF line in conjunction with an SF skirmish game back in the late 70's. I wish that line was available again in 28mm, with more poses. The lack of poses was the weak feature of the line.

You left out a "none of the above" choice. I didn't see anything that I regretted not getting.

Jim

I would think there should have been an "other" and "none of the above" choice. Robert

The original Floquil acrylic paint line.

The Groo and Elfquest miniatures are always on my wish I had them list.

If we're gonna include inks/paints, then I definitely wish I had a secret stash of the old Pelikan Grey ink – it was absolutely the best!

I guess I had to go with the OOP lines I pined for most at some point, as some of my biggies (such as the Citadel Traveler 15's) are now back in production. Not to mention giving my soul to Ebay for some others.

And Heritage Galacta, Fasa ST ships, lots of Rogue Trader oddball miniatures I sold off because I needed cash and couldn't readily fit them into an army list.

And welcome back, OFM.

I went for the 20 mike mike figures and the SYW troops. The rest seem to be fantasy/scifi which I don't really much care for. And The other historical figures were in a scale not to my liking.

My other choice would have been – Martian Metals 15mm – the Fantasy Trip set

Moi, je ne regret rien!

Could only find four on the list, but miss some of these others, e.g.:

DLD's 25mm Sci-Fi vehicle range

DLD's 15mm Sci-Fi vehicle range

1st Corps not-Star Trek figs (the Heritage ones are just horrible)

1st Corps 28mm+ WWII troops – they were quite nice, but the number of poses was limited (perhaps they are still available, but don't recall seeing them last time I checked their website)

25mm Traveller Imperial Marines

I think the 20mm Stan Johansen Sci-Fi minis are still available (but perhaps he had a larger range that I am unaware of)

Of the list the only ones I miss are Star Wars by West End Games I think. I have no Speeder Bikes and have to improvise.
VR
James Mattes

Clicked my 5 – but really there were 7 on this list, had to flip a coin………..

Why can't I vote 'none of the above'?

None of the above for me too

none of the above

But only for the resale value now!

Where's the range of Lamming medievals?

God, I miss the FASA Starships they were so pretty. They are about 30 years old and still some of the best ships made for Trek or any other line of starships. I wish I had the molds :)

I agree there should have been a "None of the Above" or "Other" option on the poll.

And welcome back, OFM.

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think he's back, he just found a loophole in the locked account status in that he can post in poll threads, but not on the main boards. Clever, plus is makes it exciting in that you might have an OFM sighting on the poll threads, which I normally do not read.

I miss the Eternal Champion line the most. I'm surprised that no one has got a license to do this again. A 15mm massed battle game set in Elric's world would be great. You could even make a fleet game with all the naval actions that happened. There were some pretty reasonable battles, like the sacking of Imrryr.

Better than nothing, I suppose.

+1 on the Firing Line multi-part AWI in 25/28mm.

How about John Jenkins Warring States figures?

Neglected to mention my fondness for a number of the Frontier poses and lines.

I have some of these, they are the same figures, 15mm ACW (Heritage) and 15mm Confederattes (Heritage.) I don't think they were ever called just 15mm ACW. I believe the entire ACW line Union and Confederate was called "Confederattes".

No, you posted to it… TMP link

That was back in April! I barely remember yesterday. For those of you taking notes, OOP = Out of Production.

I missed the Doom figures and some Indiana Jones.

Asgard Orcs.
Alexander Nevskii Teutonic Knights (Mirlinton)

Also a number of the Der Kreigspielers, Heritage LotR, and some other figs are still legally available as recasts from Michael Thomas who bought the moulds and production rights.

Dragontooth (Tom Loback) Amphibians and Saurians.
I owned one squad of Sharkmen, and lusted hard after an entire artmy
( a good seven years before I ever heard of warhammer, in fact).
No idea what rules I wouldve used, but Man! I wanted those armies…

Had a coupla Boarmen, as well…

Metal Magic 'Rivets', yup.

Recently missed Jim Bowens limited 40mm' Hellboy' sculpts,
and I'm kicking myself silly over missing
MegaMinis the 'Usagi Yojimbo' line.

sigh.

Eureka Empire of the Petal Throne.

There was a range of 15mm Dune-esque miniatures from Germany called SPICE. I wish I'd bought more of them. Or that someone would rerelease them.

Mike's Models 15mm 30Yrs War and ECW

Gwydion, you can still get them from Essex Miniatures.

Not a one of them

"Original BattleTech" a.k.a. Battledroids were great!

brianscache.com/battledroids

Wish I had gotten more. Even though they're 26 years old, the original BattleAx, Bombardier, Cestus, Crossbow, Gladiator, and Vulcan look good and are generic enough to be useful in many different, non-BT settings. I still use them regularly (along with Mekton, Warbots and older BT figures) for Meka Tac – GSRE games link .

I can't believe how many of you provided incorrect answers!

Hmm. Rallynow responded to the editors statement that he responded to a poll thread back in April. No Rallynow on that thread. I'm wondering who Rallynow really is? Could it be John the OFM under a different account? If so, aren't those illegal?

Yes you caught me, I am really John the OFM. How deviously clever of you to find out my secret identity. My crime fighting days are over. Who will Gotham turn to now?

Bill I have decided to change my Moniker from John the OFM to Rallynow. Please delete the John the OFM account and transfer my membership to Rallynow. Now that I am Rallynow some folks my try to use my old handle "John the OFM". Those persons are obviously imposter's and should be removed from TMP.

I am John the OFM, I am Spartacus!

Hail Spartacus !!!

Didn't armorcast (or was it ainsty) make some large scale battletech mechs, battlearmor, etc? I couldn't afford them when they were out, but it would have been nice to have some before they went.

Also, Ral Partha's Steve Jackson's OGRE Miniatures. More fo those would be cool, despite the multiple pounds of unpainted Cybertanks I already have…

I miss Ral Partha, period. Not enough of their stuff remains in production.

So many ranges, so little time. The list alone brought back memories, lots there I hadn't even thought of in thirty years.

The Eternal Champion stuff would be nice though I think the problem with re-releasaing etc is MM and copyright etc.

I still have some of the old traveller figures – great casts. FGU – Loved reading those rules never got around to playing them sadly – now long lost.
