There is a local collector that may sell some off. I dont have any background in Minis so Id like to have some good background.
Red flags to look for, values etc.
Is there a site that yall could recommend? or even dealer sites that can give me a ballpark?
thanks

there were a few guys at our MAX table that were talking about minis.. After a while they all agreed,,there were only 4 different minis!? I asked for clarification,,I got: 4 different branches of service/para military org. As example,not actual - Army, Luft., Navy, RAD..
Is this true??

Alcoso made RAD leader minis (orange and white handled), but fakes do exist; they tend to be a tad larger.

Tom Johnson would argue some authentic SS minis exist, but probably made by factory workers during the Reich just for fun as opposed to a "production" line item. 99.9 % are fake however.
