Hey Bartertown!
I know there have been alot of forgeworld recasts being sold on eBay for sometime. But, I saw this one today and thought "Wow that is a blatant recast". The seller has recast many of the LE models in resin, when they were all originally cast in metal. Maybe he is not aware, maybe he doesnt care.

Re: Blatant Recasts?
Moved to the Discussion forum, since this is not regarding Bartertown directly.
I contemplated deleting the auction links, so as to keep from appearing as if we agree with the recasting.
Instead, I'll go with a warning:
As a reminder; Bartertown does not support illegal recasting and we officially recommend that you do NOT purchase any items you believe to be recasts. The links to the above auctions are for illustration purposes only and should not be construed as advertisements for the seller.
Additionally, we reserve the right to move the links without warning at a later time, should we decide that we're better off without them being present.
