You always hear the question: "How did you get into the hobby?", and for me it was getting bored with assembling fighter jet models.
I could never afford the good jet kits either, lol. Plus those things had a ton of components, we're spoiled by Games Workshop when it comes to piece count, believe me.
Checkout the styling on these guys, it practically screams Citadel mini, right?
I guess the idea behind the set was to be like the mainstream Dungeons and Dragons in a board game form. I don't remember what store I bought it at, as Wal Mart was still expanding out form the central US and hadn't started it's domination of the retail scene yet, but it was at a department store for sure.
Regardless an awesome game at what seemed to be just the right time! -MBG
