There's this one on eBay, but I can't see crap in the blister, so perhaps somebody that has the mini can tell me wether it is actually an Ostsol, or the Ostroc

I consulted by book of tricks, and I will go out on a limb and confirm that it is an Ostsol!

If I can't see clearly the mini, I don't bid. I have seen many Ostrocs labeled as Ostsols.

To me it looks like a reseen Ostsol. The brown board gives it away here; all of the unseens were out of production before Ral Partha changed the package from the old Blue style. If you are looking for an unseen Ostsol, this is not what you are looking for. Although, I think I did see an Ostsol on eBay a few days ago; it had a brown paint scheme on it.

IMO it looks like neither. I do not remeber either of them coming all broken down like that. Maybe they had some late run, but if I remember they were either one piece, or just the arms had to be glued on. So I think it is good to pass on this one. Others will pop up. They were not high numbers made but at the same time demand was not so big.

AWAD- BTW have yuo tried Gamers Union?

It's a Reseen Ostsol...the Unseen Ostsol (and Ostroc) were one-piece minis...

Also, is Ed still doing auctions? Whenever I go to the Gamer's Union site, all I get is his store...nothing about auctions...

Even though the item is closed already I figured I'd drop my 2 pennies here, It is a reseen Ostsol, a buddy of mine purchased one and I assembled it for him.
