well damian, i bought it for $211. I have been waiting and waiting and they have all been going for $350 and up. The one i won has no box but for the price i was glad to get it. I contemplated selling my boxer sets as i thought i couldn't afford to get the ones i needed. But alas, i got one. Did any of you see how much some of the napoleonic sets went for, especially the dutch lancers. Some guy bought 2 dutch flagberares, one for $317 and the other for around $200. Wow, but why 2 ?

I am glad some one I know bought it. That is a good price.
I will try and check up on the Napoleonic prices.
Maybe the focus is moving a bit from Sudan and Boxer to Napoleonic sets.

Actually, my set that I had wasn't complete and I picked it up in a lot of items for about that price. Ie I got 4 items for $150, 2 have sold for over $160, so I am not doing too bad!!!!! I almost kept this one as I think it is a cool set, but again, this was not complete.
There is a complete one on ebay at the moment...................temptation.............

Martyn,
The seller was not allowing folks overseas to bid on it, or else I would've scooped it up. The low price probably had something to do with the limited market.

I wasn't sure, if based on Alex's earlier comment, the Ox was indeed Trophy. I sure hope so. Wonder how much a real Ox costs these days :rolleyes2:
I guess if you're into animal sets, this is a good deal, so far....

Brad,
Just another Super SILLY record for eBay Trophy auctions. An ox was MARLBOROUGH not Trophy {eek3} I guess it's time to introduce a set from the BOAR war: a pig (boar) with a native ^&grin I bet it will go even higher! ^&grin

Thanks Martyn. I assume it's not a set but a convenient pairing, which is why I assume it has not drawn any bids. Kind of reminds me of the mule that kicked me in the stomach when I was all of 7 {eek3} :wink2:
