My brother had this set and I had the imperial guard equivalent. I'd hoped they would still exist at my parents house - but alas lost to time. The only part of this box left was a single head with the helmet - parts of a Predator and a token from Space Hulk were the only other evidence I was obsessed with the hobby as a child.

I feel your pain. My folks threw so much stuff out when i left home that it upsets even now, 30 years later. Some griefs you never get over. Grimlock, Optimus Prime, my Millenium Falcon, AT AT , AT ST, my beloved Rancor.......and so much more.

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that! Have you got back into the hobby now?

Oh no! I'm sorry! Have you managed to re-buy anything that was lost?

Glad you got the terminator captain. A classic!

I got that exact box when I was a kid back in the day pretty much the same way you did with the imperial guard 👍

Amazing! Do you still have it somewhere?

What a trip down memory lane. My buddy Andy had some of these. I picked up the Space Marines and later the Squats. The Squats are currently proxies in my Imperial Guard army.

I picked up one of these boxes on ebay circa 2007/8. Actually... I picked up a ton of old RT stuff back then... getting in before oldhammer got popular, you might say. Not really sold on the quality of the Orks it contains - I prefer the single-piece metal castings they did a few years earlier.

Well done for getting in there before prices went bonkers! And it's true, very different sculpts and I wasn't keen back in the day. But now I love them!

Unpopular opinion: I don't care what anyone says. GW old Models are so much better than their new stuff imo. I see shit like this and get soooo amped! It's just dripping with personality and I can't get over it! Thank you for sharing this is sick

There’s been a big resurgence in old hammer lately, 2nd edition has been taking off and there are a lot of fun community’s popping up.

Yes! A lot of love for the 80s and 90s style and general vibe. At first I thought it was pure nostalgia on my part, but even objectively the aesthetic and spirit of fun still holds true!

I definitely want more Orks (if only I had a budget tho)
