I've seen them, Frodo! Black riders!!
Arrived today they have. The Nine, the Nazgul, the Ringwraiths, Servants of Sauron from Elan Merch (1751 Servants of Sauron ). I have had 2 of the minis since the late '70's, since three of my friends and I pooled our money ($10.00) and bought the set at Hobby Haven in Mission. We rolled dice and I ended up with 2 of the unmounted minis.
I've always looked off and on for the full set, but have really pursued it since starting this blog and finally found a decent set for a decent price.
They came in an opened blister pack and are in good condition. When I first opened them I feared the worst as the plastic blister had flecks of grey all over it. Luckily it wasn't lead rot, but just some of the primer wearing off the figs. The separately cast rider (1751h) has a broken axe which can be fixed, and 1751e is missing a sword, but all the rest are in good shape.
After taking a pic, I applied stripper to them and tomorrow will give them a good cleaning and if weather permits a spray coat of primer.
