[Groop]Re: Groo Miniatures

[Ruben A]

The one by Ral Partha is not a licensed edition (ie: no permission from 
Sergio nor Mark, and not monies paid to them for it).  I think a lot of 
us Groopies have banned against ordering it.  I had a chance, but I 
refuse to support it.  In the name of good Karma, I suggest you toss it 
onto the nearest busy road/highway/freeway/spaceway, take pictures of 
the resulting carnage, and mail them to Ral Partha.  

I have some pictures of the miniatures as painted by a friend of mine -- 
I can scan and e-mail if someone wants to post them somewhere....

Has anyone every found the Kerplotz figure?  It's real rare I hear....

Ruben.
