http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net PP has a bunch of the MK 1 books and cards on sale if anyone is still interested in those, books are all $5 and cards are all $3. They also have some bundles on armies but they're a bit overpriced...

The books are good at that price also since they have alot of fluff in them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2184636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2184636.page GMT
As far as the Mk 1 books and cards....why? It's like someone playing 4th Ed. 40k. Or 3rd Ed. D&D. Why do it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185351.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185351.page GMT WM/H and decided not to upgrade.

Plus this is a great way to complete the collection for those who value that.

Not being a PP guy myself, do these books have value for painting guides, fluff, or similar that might differ from Mark II versions?

For D&D,t here's a lot of people that still play 3.0/3.5 as the change is pretty massive to go to 4 and some people don't like that style. Plus 3.0/3.5 had a ton of 3rd party support, including a lot of games that technically require the PHB, so it may be easier. I like 4.0, but 3.0/3.5 might be a better choice for certain games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185374.page GMT
I can see playing D&D 3.0 since it's one of the last versions that was actually a D&D game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331374/2185398.page GMT
Even if you do get them.
I found the painting section of the Trollblood book frustrating.
The only skin they show how to paint is the face.
