Where to find large numbers of Ral Partha Elves

Post by RingworldFan »

Hi All,

Can anyone help me in finding stores or individuals who may have 2-300 of the old Ral Partha Elves sculpted by Tom Meier?

I am trying to complete what was my dream army and after being let down by a BT seller after a month of to-ing and fro-ing I am feeling a little let down.

I am sporting a $500+ budget and ~I know that I am going to have to shop in North America for these. I'm in the U.K but have a friend in Southern California who says he'll take receipt for me if overseas shipping is a problem.

Hope you guys can help

Cheers!

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Several hundred.
:shocked:
Wow.

Well, if it falls through, Iron Wind bought out Partha's molds... or most of 'em, at least.
You could try checking out their site.

You might even be able to talk yourself into a discount, maybe at wholesale prices, if you're buying that many!

Being as they are Tom Meir sculpts IW may have the molds but not the rights to cast the elves. My memory on the subject I admit is a bit hazy but when Tom left all right's on his miniatures reverted to him. The TM sculpts on IW site are "licensed" so to speak from him.

Hope your deal went through.

IW won't produce them as they don't want to affect TM's sales of the TMM ranges (despite being smaller).

The Chariot IS still in production however.

Thanks all...

Ral Partha never shut down its Euro branch/subsidiary/whatever.
