Quoting Eric of Eric’s Hobby Workshop – excellent TheirTube channel, btw – Fleabay do have some pretty eye-watering prices at times, unless you get REALLY lucky or you’re looking for something nobody else has wanted in 20 years.

Bitzboxes…ah yes…. I used to love to go to game stores and dig through their bitz boxes, drawers full of forgotten stuff and find all kinds of treasure they sold for next to nothing. Ships for Man O’War (1st edition), plastic Wood- Elf archers and High Elf spearman from 4th/5th edition WHFB, lost of Grenadier oddments and endments – including 2 or 3 complete Dragons made of lead, I think a good 60-70% of my Empire army came out of bitz boxes, including the 12 Dwarf Thunderers I’m painting right now. Yes, they will fight for the Empire, along with 12 plastic Human gunners from 6th edition and 2 lead giant Orcs dressed in Renaissance gear, wielding matchlock guns (manufacturer unknown) I’m going to transform into Ogres, all also bitz box finds.

No such stores exist anymore in my area, the 1 or 2 surviving game stores have all the atmosphere and charm of an airport cafeteria.
