Mortis, am I right, do you think the UK literally saw a lot less copies of RC than the US?  I almost never see them on the UK eBay sites.  Did it come out about the same time of GW moving away from RPG imports? I think my attention was still mainly on AD&D - although now, I'm very proud of my boxed sets.

I must express here, that for along time I was unaware the RC ever got released (I'd never seen a copy) that was until I started talking to people online and seeing photos. This leads me to the suspicion that perhaps the RC was never released in the UK. I don't know - maybe some one in the UK will swoop in on this thread and tell me I'm wrong, and that they own a copy they bought at a Virgin Megastore (remember when Virgin had an RPG section?) or Orcs Nest.

Yes this was the early to mid 90's and the beginning of GW move away from RPGs to concentrate on their wargames, the popular perception of the market was RPGs were on the way out. The UK miniatures and RPG industry sadly still lives the shadow of GW and that shadow now reaches across the world.
