Yeah, you guys will ship nearly anything with a label on it -- just look at Wired magazine's monthly mail contest. I just didn't want to risk the game box being damaged, since this was a gift and all. The extra packing material probably only cost me a dollar postage or less.

Another easy way to tell if it is red/blue is to flip the flap and look at the left side where the crease and they will show the color of the dice.

True, but I use the clear window uner the flap. All boxes with a plastic window showing Thorgrim will have red/blue dice. The tricky part comes with the sparkly water, because some of the boxes with the window have flat blue water instead of sparkly water.

Go sparkly!

$18? That's like under £10. I could weep. We have to pay £40 here

Not too bad, but it does raise the total cost to about $18 per set for mailed ones, when all things are considered.

So 2 sets would cost about $36 to ship, only 4 bucks less then my guess. Of course 40 bucks shipped for 2 sets is probably the best deal we will see considering TRU seems done with their 2-for-1 sales

Figuring out if a set contains sparkly or solid water isn't that tricky if you look at the number printed on the back of the box. Every set I have bought, save for my EOVs of course, have been sparkly water. Just gotta make sure the number on the back is low enough.

What is that low number again? I have some 43XXX downstairs and I couldn't remember if the magic number is 43 or 42.

I got 19 at one store, 3 in another, and 1 at a third.
It looks like I got 1 second editon, the rest first edition. I have opened several to check water, and I know the
42xxx have sparkley water, and some of the 43xxx have opaque water, but I can't recall if any of the lower 43xxx had sparkley or not. I have a dozen more to check.

Does anybody know the exact (or close to it) number where they changed water?

[Thor]

It's been a long while since I have bought a Master Set so I don't remember the highest number that still has sparkly water. However, I have sets with 43201 that still have the sparkly stuff, so any numbers under 43201 should be fine. I am sure there is a thread somewhere in these forums with more info. Basically when buying Master Sets just try to get anything in the 42XXX range, or really low 43XXX and you should be fine.

43281 has sparkley water

[ferzle]

Oh, and 43511 has opaque.

I'll pay 15 doallrs for those sets, and pay for the shipping to get them to me. PM me if you want a free booster or two.
