I have been getting alot of pieces on e-bay for as cheap as I can ($35 for 5 DA is a bit rediculous) and i have noticed alot of older metal pieces so I decided to start buying some up. My question is how hard are these guys starting to get to find? I was looking at rogue trader era eldar pieces and it looks like alot of them had individualized names and such? anyone else out there a colector who uses rogue trader pieces in their army?

I've not had a problem finding them. They are still on the shelf where they've lived for the last ~25 years.

Snarky comments aside, I have no idea how many find their way to e-bay these days. But everytime I hit the table, a unit of RT era beakies lead the way. I'm trying to incorperate as many of my old Eldar into my re-booted force, but it's harder for them. A lot of the gear they used to be able to use they just can't any more. Still, I do what I can.

My Blood Angel army is almost entirely RT figures. A core of figures I still had from childhood, finished off with some eBay purchases

I would love to use some, but the biggest factors are thier price and scale. Depending on the model, you could be paying $20 or more. Also, alot of the marines and such are tiny compared to modern day marines and therefore look wierd when mixed with the current range.
