We likely won't let you know directly, & instead will begin to insufferably exclude you from conversations in ways that will first appear too minor to notice, but then shocking in their cruelty. I do remember friends owning these sets back in the day, though I don't remember anyone actually using them for a game. They usually were (as childhood craft products usually are), not fully painted to the standards shown on the box. I owned a similar kit back then, & found it harder to paint than airplanes from the same manufacturer, or metal minis (even small ones the size of those in this set). I think the plastic was too glossy on the surface & too lumpy in shape for consumers to color the figures decently. I haven't tried painting modern 3D-printed minis, but I imagine their rough surfaces & sharply defined shapes make them easier to paint.

Let me know if this isn't ok.

It's perfectly fine, as long as you aren't the one selling it. :)  In that case, you are supposed to use the Classifieds.

Generally, if it's something of interest, items are usually posted here:

Interesting Items Currently on eBay

or here for non-TSR items:

Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay

Creating a new topic for one item of interest is probably not the best practice, but if it's a really nice item, maybe.

That's too bad you aren't able to access conventions in the UK.  I think there are a few there?  I believe this is a decent list of them:

https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/plan/afte ... nventions/

Perhaps you aren't able to get to them, which is understandable.  I'm not sure how the experience would compare to conventions in the U.S. either.

That's an education level thing. Some of our own citizens don't understand the language due to their lack of interest in education too.

So there you have it, Tszii. Our analysis of MPC's Orc War kit is that it fictionalizes a medieval society which developed a religion that is effectively the opposite of ancestor worship. The ancestors of Europeans were not the great prophets who spoke to God, but rather were the ignorant pagans who required conversion. If one's ancestors represent everything bad, then living a good life must include their repudiation. Such perspective would color the values of the religion itself, as the primal or youthful aspects of life grew to resemble the unenlightened past. Since the new faith took hold at first with the urban elites, & then spread more slowly among rural populations, cultural prejudices emerged between those eager to reject the nation's ancestors, & those seen as culturally regressive, who clung to the past & all its imperfections (depicted here by the Model Products Corporation as orcs). In modern liberal society, the religious need for repudiation of the ancestors has faded in popularity, but the need remains as a cultural obligation, with frequent targets including both agriculturalists & adults who construct & paint model kits.

Goddamn college-educated kids and their big words. Just say it's a piece of shit.

I've had Orc War and Dungeon Invaders. I don't think Dragon was ever produced, unless there is/are prototypes. If it was produced someone would have run across it.
