I am running an ongoing campaign with a bunch of characters between level 6 and 7 , the campaign centres around several TSR modules that I played as a youngster (Castle Amber and Against the giants to name 2) which I have modified and converted to 3E rules (I have got all the 3E books so I will not be hitting 3.5 just yet)
I have recently begun usign a commercial mapping programme which I use to create wonderful room plans. What I want to know is does anyone know of a web resource with printable monster tokens which I could use instead of miniatures (so expensive!) in order to bring my rooms to life a little more than using spare dice , tiddlywinks erasers etc.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Or you can just buy yourself some thin cardboard and start clipping. If you have a scanner, scan in the images and paste them onto the cardboard...

BTW - I have no idea what issues they were in, only that they were for 3.x.
