Derek Hiemforth Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Is this the book you're looking for? If so, I don't personally have an extra copy, but I know of a used bookstore that I think has one. Send me your contact info in an email (my address is in my profile), and I'll see if they still have it. If they do, I'll let you know how much they want for it. If you want it at their price, I'll buy it for you, you can send me the money to cover the book and shipping, and I'll ship it to you.

Derek Hiemforth Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Also, if you're interested in Robot Gladiators (the only followup book to Robot Warriors) I see that Noble Knight Games has a copy of that. Check out this page, about 3/4's of the way down. http://www.nobleknight.com/BrowseAndSearch/Browse_Process.Asp?Line=160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 If that is the book(s) you're looking for, and Derek can't find it or you want to order more promptly, this reputable online used game dealer has multiple copies of both Robot Warriors and Robot Gladiators: http://www.sentrybox.com/ . They're in their "Games" catalogue; just follow the links to "Roleplaying", then look under "I" for "Iron Crown". Note that the prices are in Canadian dollars, because this is a Canadian retailer - that's why they look a little steep. You should reduce them by about one-third for American equivalent. They do ship internationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Good find, Lord Liaden! That's probably the way for you to go if you want it right away, Ozz*. I won't be able to check the bookstore for a week or so, because it's about 120 miles from where I am now. I won't be able to check it until the next time I'm down there for work.

Derek, would that happen to be Gator Games in San Mateo (or is it Redwood City there?) Though come to think of it, there's another chain that had a good selection of used books in the Bay Area. I just remember the one in Palo Alto got flooded and that it seemed to be infested with angst ridden gamers. In Portland, Powell's is a good place to check, but they don't have either of the Robot books in stock. They had a few of the BBB though...

Derek Hiemforth Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Originally posted by lemming Derek, would that happen to be Gator Games in San Mateo? Nope. (Although Gator Games is a good store, and does carry some older and used stuff, I don't recall seeing Robot Warriors there recently.) The store I'm thinking of is Recycle Books in San Jose. It's actually a used bookstore, not a game store. But they have a fair amount of used RPG books among their voluminous stock, and I think I recall seeing Robot Warriors the last time I was there a couple of months ago.

Space Cadet Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Thanks for the tip about The Sentry Box, Liaden. While I have gotten some hard-to-find miniatures through mail order from them in the past, I hadn't really thought about getting stuff like Robot Warriors from them ( ). Since checking out your post, however, I've gotten in touch with them and managed to not only get copies ofRobot Warriors and Robot Gladiators put on reserve for me, but copies of Horror Hero and Western Hero as well.

Lord Liaden Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 I'm glad that worked out for you, Space Cadet! Sentry Box is a professionally-run operation with a huge stock to choose from. I have five online used-game retailers that I've dealt with who carry substantial quantities of HERO stuff, as well as many other game products. Between them, I can find almost any rare or OOP item I might want. Whenever I see someone asking for a hard to find game here on the boards, I quickly cycle through all of them to see if it's there. If anyone's interested, here are the other dealers I use: http://www.titangames.com http://www.nobleknight.com http://www.cyberdungeon.com http://www.dragonstrove.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 A word of warning for those of you who may have decided to mail-order stuff from across-the-border hobby shops such as The Sentry Box: if you're sending your order from here in the U.S., make bloody well sure that you've got enough postage on the envelope, because it's going to cost more than 37 cents. I found that out the hard way Tuesday when the envelope I put in the mail last week came back with an "Additional Postage Required" label stamped on it. Apparently, it costs 60 cents to mail a standard-size envelope to Canada from the U.S. (at least, from right here in Ohio; I don't know about the rest of the country).

Lisa Nadazdy Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hint: If you must get Robot Warriors, then do so (I have a copy), but don't overlook the crunchy mecha goodness in Ultimate Vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't worry... that's just one of the things on my "Get A.S.A.P." list for this month or next month. Space Cadet:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
