Hi all, I live in Japan and I've managed to collect every single Hell Dorado mini available through retail. (Including the original La Voyageuse when I got the rule book.) However, it seems impossible for someone in Japan to acquire the new La Voyageuse. I've been watching eBay France and I see the old La Voyageuse pop up from time to time, (there's one up right now, actually,) but I never see the new sculpt.
As such I find myself resorting to essentially begging for the ability to purchase it if you have one. I can't think of any other way.
-Mike
PM me if you still want one....
Definitely interested! PM sent.
Any more out there? I'd like one of La Voyageuse. Either incarnation.
Ditto! (or'34)?

Okay, here's one more person looking for one - please!
--Robert
Please PM me- I have a couple left.....
Are any more available?
I'm a Mercs and lLost player, so Gilles is the only merc officer I have that wont tempt me to buy westerners or sarrasins.
At least La Voyageuse will let me add some lost into my force.
So now that I am getting started how do I go about finding some of these wonderful minis such as La Voyageuse?
1) go to enough tournaments to get the Prima Materia points to get one
2) Ebay. not very likely, or cheap, though
3)grovel here on the forums.
On that last point, anyone got one spare? :)
Add:
1(a) Go to a tournament and win one (if you are Jeff!)
1(b) Go to a tournament with Jeff when he wins another one, then grovel (see 3)
1(c) Drive Jeff to a tournament for him to win one (see 1(b))
4 Go to a convention (ideally in France) and get one off the guys - this option may no longer be available but worked for a few of us last year
4(a) Get Jeff to get one for you at a convention
Basically - being a mate of Jeff's is pretty handy for getting hold of Voyageux... but everyone knows a great guy like that who will go out of their way to make sure their local players can play with the cool stuff. The community in general is very good at spreading the wealth - I've never heard of anyone hoarding multiples for long and you don't tend to get them on Ebay that often

So who is Jeff?
Does he live in the US?
Does grovelling actually work?
Ah she has my heart and I can't have her. :-\
I've taken to haunting the seedy back alleys of the French ebay lookin' for her loveliness and alas I saw her younger self but sadly $45 was not a large enough sacrifice to tempt her my way. What must a man in love do to capture such a treasure? Young or old it matters not in love. :'(
Guys any1 got spare Voyageuse model? I really need to get one ( or both;)). I am from Poland so it's very hard to get it any other way :(
Please PM me if you got one for sale.
Thx
So I realize I am terribly late to this party, but are there any Voyageuse models still kicking around? I am looking to fill a few holes in my collection and sadly she is still one of them :(

Yes they are still available via tournaments or Prima Materiae. Occasionally there's one on ebay!

There will be 2 given away at the tournament at GenCon, and 1 at another tourney in the US that Weird Sketch is planning for the Chicago area IIRC.
2 of each actually.
The 1634's are reserved for best ainted army and best painted figure.
The 1635's are reserved for the winners. ;)
Not to thread-jack or anything here but due to the current job market my 1635 Traveller will be going on ebay tonight.
