Talk:Fantascenes

I dug up some more data on Fantascenes. There are reviews in the following Dragon magazines:

  • Dragon Magazine #176 (December 1991)
002 Wizard's Tower
001 Castle Craggy
  • Dragon Magazine #185 (September 1992)
1-02 Banquet Tables Laden with Food
1-06 Round Table with Food and Stools
1-11 Chairs
  • Dragon Magazine #188 (December 1992)
1-12 Beds and Straw Pallets
1-07 The Armorer's Workshop
  • Dragon Magazine #192 (April 1993)
1-01 Weapons and Weapon Racks
1-10 Tabletop Accessories
  • Dragon Magazine #193 (May 1993)
1-09 Round Tables and Stools


And I found listings for Fantascenes in some copies of Game Quarterly Catalog (US distributer catalog).

That scan is from issue #9 of the catalog (Winter 1994) and is the most complete listing I could find. I have a few other issues of that catalog, and they have shortened listings. #5 (Spring 1993) only lists up through 1-20, #2 (Spring 1992) only lists the scenery sets without any of the 1-xx packs, and #1 (November 1991) contains no listing at all for Fantascenes.

Mysticat, could your recollection of buying some of these figures in the early 80's be mistaken? The other evidence would seem to date them from the early 90's (Dragon reviews were usually for new-ish figures, and the fact that the listing was growing in subsequent copies of the distributer catalogs would imply that the range was expanding in that timeframe).
