I have that warhammer online orc dude, and the arms crossed orc from Gamesday. im sure i have some others laying around.
Edit Oh right i still have these

Almost forgot that I also have the The Chaos Sorcerer with three arms from Games Day. I might have two of them actually. They're lying around somewhere still in their blisters. Also have Nemetis the Sacrilegious model from the Devourers of Vile-Tis faction from Confrontation. Picked him up back when Confrontation was still around for a Tomb Kings army that never happened, but I still want to paint him up. He's a fantastic model:

I have a Forge World Maximilian Weiseman Baneblade that I got from a friend of mine and is still being worked on. Otherwise I have that Cadian Standard that has been already posted, a set of Lizardman Skink Horned Ones somewhere in my basement, a pile of random metal Space Wolf marines, a lord Solar Macharius, an old commissar yarrick with the crab claw and an old apothecary from Rogue Trader.

Edit: I forgot that I have Gotrek and Felix models that I have no idea how old they are. I have never seen them before or since I got them so they are collectable to me. (and all my Steel Legion... all Pewter GW is collectable in my book)

I have a few.

Rackham Titan Dragons, Tarascus, Tir-Na-Bor Steam Golems, and the Mid-Nor Hydra.

The popular Ilyad Vorags - the Priestess, Slayer, Champion, and Virago.

All the Kingdom Death First Run editions.

But perhaps the rarest, and hardest to find - the Ilyad Limited Edition Desdemone. This one (http://www.coolminiornot.com/133492?browseid=11198251) is painted by Bragon on CMON.

I have a lot of stuff, hah.

I've got Games Day models still in the package from yeeeears ago, I have several of the web exclusives that have come out over the years (I have duplicates of many, as well. Can't have too many of something limited), some third-party sculpts of the Emperor and Roboute Guilliman, a lot of other stuff still in box from back in the day that sell for a lot, old limited Black Library releases (4th Company Ultramarine Captain Uriel diorama). I also have what I consider to be a very valuable army of about 165 Steel Legion infantry, and a bunch of Steel Legion commissars as well.

My best stuff is a huge box full of absolutely vintage Dwarfs from back in the 80s. Pre-slotta stuff, just about everything from the Stuff of Legends Dwarf section is in there, some of it in multiple quantities. I'm actually trying to sell it currently, because I hate Dwarfs from all Fantasy franchises ever, and even the collector in me wanted them to be gone from my sight.

Here are some pics of only some of my stuff - obviously they are not mine since most of it is on display or stored safely:





Roboute:


Emperor:

Not really sure what I have that may be considered rare or valuable. I do have a ridiculous amount of 2nd Edition metal Necrons. I've got that one FW boarding marine event model. In my Dwarf army I have some of the old Drunken Dwarves and really old Longbeards models. I suppose my Ramilies Star Fort for BFG would be considered rare now, as well as the AdMech fleet I have. Oh, I also have an Imperator Titan (Epic sized) somewhere.

No collectible "miniatures" but this seems to get some interest occasionally.




I've got an old two-pin badge of the eagle somewhere, too. The larger one, not the single pin small one.

Sergeant Centurius is my favorite, but I have loads of them, some Games Day limited miniatures from Tau, Cadians at parade rest, to a Space Wolf Rune Priest. The Skulls Sticker program miniatures. Oh, another favorite where I about fell out when I saw him is the Blood Angel Captain shown on the box cover of 1st ed, found him on Ebay in Britain so I bought two. Gotrek and Felix, came in individual little foil bags, the more recent Space Marine Captains GW released I think last year.
I'm a sucker for limited, and dang Golden Ticket offers... : /

My most collectible miniatures are a Dwarf Standard Bearer and Anvil of Doom painted by former Ral Partha sculptor John Winter.

Chromedog, I have those! The Crux Terminatus, the Sgt.'s Crux Terminatus, the Imperial eagle and I'll wear them like the geek I am! Those necklaces were made by a company called Bulldog Collectables or some such, I met the owner and we spoke about some cool ideas for future products, then his company disappeared. :/

A while back I bought a 1/10 scale bolt pistol. It is metal, and quite big (larger than a 40k scale heavy bolter).

I'm not really sure if it is valuable or not. I was considering using it as a weapon on a Nemisis Dreadknight. I always thought that a mech-suit would look cool with a giant pistol. Probably count it as a heavy psycannon or something.

I have the staff present Troll vs. Trollslayer too.

Where the female commissar and the Female Catachan Grenade launchers really that rare? I (just by chance) happen to have three of those commissars and about a dozen of those grenade launchers (Two command squads with 4 each, plus some in squads).

At different times, yes. Originally they were not available, yet sometimes they were. I remember seeing the Catachan Grenade Launcher in blisters in GW stores, and the GWUS site sold the Female Commissar for a while.

Oh yeah, I have one of those too.


I also had, at one stage, two of this guy:



... but I have them away to friends.

I don't really have anything that you would call 'rare' but I have quite a lot of OOP models that are becoming increasingly hard to track down for reasonable prices so much of my Epic, BFG and Man o War collection can go for silly money on Ebay.

I have a few various miniatures that might be considered "highly collectable" but the one that surprised me the most when I found it again was a multipart resin epic space marine. Really tiny!

There was a time when you could special order anything from the Citadel back catalog if you had the mold numbers. I was able to score two sets of these:


A cool dozen each of the Melnibonean infantry and cavalry from the long-expired Eternal Champion license. From my own collection, I have the Elven Attack Chariot holding pride of place in the center of an all-Jes Goodwin wood elf army dating back from WHFBv2 or before.

More than likely my nids, which have grown more since these pics

You have an Exocrine. That's awesome.

Hmm, I have the LE. Inquisitor Gideon Lorr - he can sell for quite a bit on Ebay (and took me ages to track down at a semi-decent price).

I also have the LE Ogre Kingdoms Tyrant, who's sorta rare now.

By rarity - I have one of the 500 original Freebooter minis Pirate Girl models. (complete with certificate and everything). But just a few weeks ago missed out on the 5th anniversary Diorama Ive long sought (because, of all reasons, I plain forgot about it and never bid).

Plus I have a number of OOP metal minis of old character models for Dwarves, Lizardmen, Skaven. Some of which are near impossible to find and sell for above new prices.

HBMC - Got another one on the way i snagged off ebay for £25 because it has a broken horn (like mine)
10 min repair job

Guessing the bottom horn had a weak casting?

Also on the lookout for more as i missed a Dactylis thismorning for £65.

That would mean i have 1 of every armorcast nid model, minus the pod and the unreleased trygon.

The pod isnt too bad but finding the trygon is like hunting a unicorn.

Awesome thread. I have that Cadian standard bearer, most of the Rogue Trader Marines, and a Rogue Trader Predator still on the sprue and in the box. But by far the most rare thing I have is this, I've never, ever seen another one:

Bottom horn is what hits first when the Exocrine is dropped....

Armorcast made Exocrine, Malefactor and Haruspex. Pod was made by Epicast, Dactylis was made by the US Forge World.
Trygon master was never even close to being finished and none were ever cast, so that may be tough (as in impossible) to find.

Tim

PS. I have a few rare things....

Explains the unicorn thing and why i've not seen one.
Only gone on what people had said regarding it.

I'll be happy once i have the dactyllis and pod.

After that i need to build a unit of each for a final goal.

Ding! Ding!! Ding!!!

We have a winner, folks.

I have a small mountain of metal models, but I don't think any of them to be particularly rare. Just expensive to reacquire.

Female space marine? yeah i think we has a winner.

She's listed in the 1991 Catalogue as Adventurer "Power Sword and Bolter 072518/15" (top left).


Also appears in the 1988 Catalogue (top right this time).

I just realized I didn't mention I also have the entire Skulz Mail Order Mechanicus set, as well as the Skulz Ultramarine Standard Bearer which isn't as rare as the entire Mechanicus set, but still hard to get I assume.

The Skulz program. Fun times, ha ha.

At first glance it appears that way, but check out the hair.

I have both of the female Marines and the head on yours is definitely different from the ones in the catalog pics. Almost looks like there is green stuff at the neck that would indicate a head swap (completely justified as that head is pretty bad)? Do you know the story behind your mini?

Nothing terribly rare or valuable. Some Games Day minis like the Black Orc, Archaon, Kroot Shaper, Fantasy Chaos Lord, Wolf Priest, and Dwarf Daemonslayer. Some minis that were released with the old Summer Battle Tours like the Cadians at Rest and the Marauder Champion. Some Army Box exclusives like the Tau Ethereal, Orc Standard Bearer, and Dwarf Standard Bearer. I have a couple OOP Forgeworld terrain pieces like the Basilisk Emplacement and Hydra Emplacement. And I have a resin Valkyrie and Mars-Pattern Baneblade #1006.
