I loved the Red Box, but never got my own copy of it, except in PDF form - via SVGames, I believe...

But Glgnfz is right, Frank - Mentzer D&D IS German D&D. Almost everyone here started with it, especially since the AD&D 1e material basically flopped due to bad translations and support. You should really come and visit some time - my fellow old FLGS patron would get the shock of his life...

I should think that the sheer number of red box (Franks edition) basic rules printed would mean that the price should remain quite low for a very long time. Immortals rules were never so popular at the time (I remember a branch of a big toy shop had some in stock for years, never managed to shrink it) which would presumably make it more scarce now than any of the other boxed sets. Hence the higher price you pay for it now.

15!? *Fades...* What do you want for one? And, most importantly: How could you gather so many?

And almost as importantly, why do you have 15?

no idea! ... and it's a question my wife has asked me a few times, too!

most of them were bought on ebay and i found nice things in there that i could sell for more than i had paid for the whole box - so i just kept the box.
