Finally, today has come to my hand this vintage catalogue of the Spanish supplier of Mithril in the 80s and 90s. It is October 1989 and it brings back fond memories of when I looked forward to these catalogs (the original mine I lost almost all unfortunately ). This shop send these updates with direct orders to the store. The pen drawings are wonderful. I do not know who the author thereof: if they sent from Ireland to their distributors the designs or if they are original to ‘Juegos sin Fronteras`. Someone knows something about it?

The catalog also contains some Prince August, Grenadier and Denizen miniatures (in case anyone is interested in any of this I scan this too )

Yes, from a past long time ago. Unfortunately.

Though I still wonder about the drawings. That’s very interesting.
Anyway, thank you very much Erchamion having provided this here.

Well, that’s the complete catalog. It has many curiosities about the production of miniatures from the late 80s, but I have acquired the catalog attracted mostly by hand drawings of Mithril

Yes, Master Theobald. I am also very intregrated about them ……. :rolleyes:

Think that this “internal catalog store”, every couple of months or so, was updated with NEW series of figures. Much has changed this! Do not you think? ….

This is really amazing, Master E. Not only the catalog, but also your effort in sharing it this way!
I will invite you for a Xeres, if you like . . . in combination with some pinchitos morunos.
Therefor I suppose that breeish barkeep is not able to prepare them, I will overtake the kitchen corner . . . 😎

this is a great find indeed ! I think I should put those pictures in the gallery along with the advertisement sheets from Dragon Magazine. These are collectors and vintage.

If only those people at Juegos were still in business or reachable somehow… they are still one of the very few leads I have concerning the 1989 Christmas figurine

Yes, Master Gildor. I remember I made many efforts to contact the former owners a few years ago …… no result ……. in a Spanish forum read somewhere that they were not in good health or spirits. I hope they were the best. JSF really was an excellent store figures.

Do you think these drawings were of them? :rolleyes:

P.D. Gladly accept your invitation, Master Turambar. Do we see in the Pony?

Very interresting listing for PA miniatures !
I think it’s first time I see such complete list in a single catalog. I have all PA catalogs and none refer to full list that way.

It also confirms I used the right references for CH, F&F & Bitume in PA wiki gallery.

I have to check my boxes… Maybe (only maybe) I have some material of “Juegos sin fronteras” too. I used to save all material from them.

Hey, just stumbled upon this thread, I will check my archives also and see if there is something interesting there for you all, such as lists similar to those of erchamion.

On the Juegos sin fronteras theme, I wrote them years ago in two different occasions (postal, not mail) to an address (their personal home, I think) that I found, using a web service to find info about enterprises and their financial status. But had no response at all. ;_( The reason I wrote them, and expect some info back is that they where still presenting “invoices” to the spanish VAT authority, so I had the illusion that they will respond, or at least still be in Barcelona. (None of them where Spanish)

This happened when on another thread in this forum, we where discussing the possibility to contact them, so it was back in 2008 or so, can’t remember well.

The mystery is that the place where they used to be is still there, no one has came and rented the space, although it is in near a “centric” place. Every time I move near the area I have a peek to check out. But nothing seems to have moved since decades. I must say that the last time I checked was a year or two ago.

well if you manage to get some info out of them, that would be precious. They were my last track and hope to find more info on this quite “chimeric” 1989 Christmas vignette.
