I saw someone request demon head dice in another thread a month or two ago and it spurred me to give a little more focus on finding "out of print" T&T dice for my collection. And I know from prior posts that a good chunk of folks here don't follow the Facebook groups so below are images of all the T&T dice I either have or I know exist (but all out of print). If you have or know of any others, please add an image or description to this thread. I'm not including the "generic" dice that came with the box sets though those do hold a special place and are always tough to find when looking for a complete box set (note in the UK the dice weren't included in the box set; I believe some kind of tax evasion to keep the boxset cheaper or easier through shipping/customs). There is a 3 image limit per post so I will reply to myself a bit here to get it started. I have these:     |

…in the UK the dice weren't included in the box set; I believe some kind of tax evasion to keep the boxset cheaper or easier through shipping/customs… True, although not exactly tax evasion: games are subject to VAT (Value Added Tax), which at the time would have added 15% to the price for the sake of ordinary dice you could find for pennies at any newsagent or toy shop. Books, on the other hand, were VAT free, so by leaving out the dice T&T became a box of books and not a game. These days VAT is 20%… funny how it creeps up but never seems to go down … |

that's a great find. I have seen some of those death dice out in the wild. etsy had a few for awhile (overpriced) but they seem gone now. and a set was up on I think RPGAuctions facebook page. I have the ones you linked but others may want to risk the international website for a chance! Here are my death dice. Most pairs but some only singles. I know I am missing at least a few variations but who knows all there ever were.  |

I did find (and buy) THESE on Ebay. They look identical to the red death dice, but are not listed or sold as such...

Not T&T dice, per se, but I snagged these Flying Buffalo "Monster Dice"...

I recently bought two box sets, one of which contained a Corgi version of the rulebook (along with Wierdworld and the usual Buffalo Catle/Castle Ward), and another which had the Corgi City of Terrors module. The latter, pictured above had three Death Dice.
An earlier box set purchase did include these three dice, which I believe are the originals that came with the box.

It doesn’t help when trying to identify original sets that Flying Buffalo also cobbled things together from what they had available, so when the main fifth edition rules ran out they used various combinations of Corgi books instead. |

So, maybe my "cobbled together" box sets are still legit, and not aftermarket Frankenboxes? Huh. I wasn't expecting that. |

I think Rick was using the 5.5 boxes as packing material at some point, one of my orders game inside one so I happily Frakenboxed it.
