Gothic Horror Flyers

Released between July 1986 and July 1987 the range consisted of 79 miniatures, only 78 ever appearing on flyers, the Huntress being the odd one out. The Teenager aka Damsel Detective appears in the July 1986 Flyer and White Dwarf ad, the Autumn 1986 Flyer and the Spring 1987 Flyer. Why is it so rare then!
