If it is metal tin from Reaper then the answer is yes as I have done that/ er had my trade ninjas do it for me.

Pole - if you look at the top of this forum, there's a pinned thread listing which other company's miniatures can and cannot be traded in. Reaper's own metal is always accepted.

Britania isn't on either list that I saw, hopefully a Reaper employee will be able to answer that some time. I don't know if it would be helpful if you also posted in that thread, Beowulf?

Yes, you can trade in sprue. Metal is metal whether from the mini or the sprue and it all melts down into liquid in the crucible.

I'm glad you asked this bc I have the same situation. I can't make RCon this year, but will
Next.

Ok Thank You Wren!

I just wasn't sure because its not marked or anything. I have a few tabs I have cut off mini's but most of what I have is little sprue and such from cleaning them up.

I got a question too, hope it not been answered yet.

I got tons of old minis that I will never paint (I bought than like 10 years ago from a RPG store who was closing). Some are broke, some are like new and most of it are unpainted. Most of they are old pewter ones.

The question is, I don´t have even a clue from with company each one are. they all mixed up! It´s possible to bring they over and trade for something? They are collecting dust in my closet and I rather prefer to pick up some Reaper Minis :-)

If you are not sure the best thing to do is just bring it. Ed or somebody with Reaper can look at it and make an executive decision. Also, there's a lot of people who will be able to ID some of your old metal figures at the con and help you sort it out. There may even be people looking for your old figures. I know last year there were a couple people digging through the traded-in pile looking for specific things people might have dumped.

[Captain Murray]

Thank´s Inarah, I will try to sort the ones in best shape and bring it on to the Con. Don´t know if any of it will worth something, but I will give it a try!

[MiniCannuck]

It will beneat to see what you bring. There was a game in the 1990's I used to play based around a Dante's Inferno setting. It basically was armies of demons led by large avatars - think demonic Battletech scale. I think it was a Danish company. I would love to find those minis.

I rescued two Darksword limited edition minis from the trade-in table last year; I will be unsurprised to find other hidden gems there again this time around.

Yea the amount of people crowding around the table last year was amusing. It was a ton of fun just to dig and see what you could find, and the best part is if you came back a few hours later, you saw completely different things!

What about metal from P-65 minis? Also what about the cold navy minis? I think they were done by Ravenstar Studios?

Looking for a Bomber Sophie. So if anyone has a extra or is gonna chuck it into the melt table, LMK!

Have to look at Ravenstar stuff. Not familiar with them. No on P-65. I can work out a ratio for P-65 but it is not the same ratio as the tin alloy pieces.

I'm going to assume Dream Pod 9 is okay but what about Battlefront's Flames of War line? I have a lot of their new stuff and it seems to chank more than thunk.
