Hello, could someone please tell me where to find information on this site or any other sites for contents lists for early 1980's TSR box miniatures sets. Most other sets I have usually have a picture on the back of the box for what is in them but the these TSR ones do not. They had a seperate insert with the contents in the box but these sets no longer have the inserts.  I ask this as I have come into a bunch of old TSR miniatures boxes full of metal miniatures and they do not have any list of what goes in each box. I would like to be able to verify that the box sets have the proper miniatures in them.

If they're Grenadier gold box sets you've found, some are posted on this site under "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" for example

5001 - Dungeon Explorers
5002 - Monsters
5003 - Woodland Adventurers
5004 - Tomb of Spells

I think my catalog PDFs are lost on a Windows '98 drive.  :(  I have hardcopy printouts of some stuff, but the most readily-available place for the above sets is the Stuff of Legends website:

The pictures are fuzzy and do not have figure names, but it's better than nothing.

Very kind and helpful folks - I bet they can answer your question.  First check out their "Files" (link located in the left hand column).  Oodles of catalogs and box set inserts.
