you found the Groop. Even though I started collecting Groo in 1984, I still learned
quite a bit about Groo when I joined the Groop. Considering you are new here (along
with a number of other newbies after the Con) and you are located in an area
where you are starving for Groo stuff, I will list a number of on-line shops
where I have found some interesting Groo collectibles at low prices. The
detailed list is toward the bottom of this e-mail in order to not bore the rest
of the Groop, who have probably seen it in the past. Before I joined the Groop
I wish I had known about these places, so maybe this info will help you and
others support your habit. </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span

mentioned both the Groo in a Tin statue and the miniatures, which I have both
of. However, I am definitely not parting with those. I was lucky to be a part
of the Groop before the “tin” statue was released, so I was able to
pre-order it. Good luck to anyone trying to find one of those. I would imagine
eBay would be your best bet even though it would most likely be price-inflated.
As for the miniatures, it took me a long time to track down and purchase all
five sets. The dragon was pretty hard to get, and collecting all of them came
at a cost to me, but I believe the fourth (?) “Warriors & Wenches”
miniature set is the rarest and it took me the longest to find. I am pretty
sure I probably spent over $50 on at LEAST one of those miniature sets.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

imagine the prices of Groo collectible will just get higher and higher now that
Groo is in its 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary and a movie might be coming out. I
have a few extra Groo items myself, but I will spare the Groop by not listing
them yet again. If anyone might be interested write me off-list. Before anyone,
who is new to the Groop and interested in Groo stuff, writes me though, they
should check out the list I spoke of. Hope it helps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the hard cover graphic novel and hard cover Chronicles (as well as many other

They are pretty cool in the way they stock and express the condition of their
collectibles as well as the reflected prices and you can also see just about
every cover image of every Groo publication. In the upper left type in
"Groo" and hit the "search what's in stock" button just

hit the "Marvel Comics", "Image Comics" and/or "Dark
Horse Comics" and do a search within each of them for Groo. By doing that
you will see rather complete lists of Groo book publications under each
publisher even if the particular books you might be looking for are not in
stock. What is good about this is you can then add a specific book to "your
want list" and when mile High gets it in stock you will be notified. :)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of Groo. They have a number of the Dark Horse trade paperbacks, which were
collected reprints of the Marvel/Epic comics. On the TFAW site when I last
checked these range in price from $5.97 to $8.96. For those who may not realize
it, all that run of trade paperbacks have titles which start in alphabetically
ascending order (for example: Library, Maiden, Nursery, and Odyssey). The last
published so far is the Odyssey. The earlier trade paperback reprints from the "Adventurer
through the "Garden" were actually reprints by Epic/Marvel (not Dark
Horse) and are much harder to find. I believe there are also plans to continue
the line of alphabetical trade paper backs in the near future, so keep you eye
out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><span
style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>TFAW also has some of the other trade
paper back reprints, but of the four Dark Horse Groo Mini Series they
published. On the TFAW site, again the last I checked, they range in price from
$7.77 to $8.37. Originally there were four mini-series runs each with four
comics. The trade paper backs of these consist of four trade paper backs with
their respective four comic stories collected inside each.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Groo Lunch Box for $13.49. They once sold it for only $7.50. I think my local
comic shop has one for cheaper than TFAW. I presume TFAW increased their price
due to the anniversary this year. TFAW also has the 7 piece Groo PVC figure set
for $35.99, which they once sold for only $23.99. You can also pre-order the first
three issues of the 4-issue “Hell on Earth” series as well as the
soon to be released 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary special.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
