Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Never heard of such things in my shire. Here, we play another game with an oval ball.

I may have some insight about many mithril matters at the time being... (got a very long mail from the Man)...

Fact is Mithril (PA in general) will operate a total rebuild of their website (at last!!) to make it more dynamic and more emarketing oriented in order to sell and attract customers with their site...
they'll also make it possible to link entries from my database to their database... Chris, Michael and Lars seem to be willing to do it and pleased that I suggested it...

the reason for this change is obvious but more important than it seems... it is very closely linked to the lack of regular releases.... Fact is : not enough retailers are ready to sell "regulars" and thus they can't produce them, they are expecting a good "market" opportunity or something like that... Releasing the Regulars today would mean BIG losses (too much production for too few sales... because not enough retailers want to sell...)

So I fear that for the time being, regulars will be MORE than "scarce"... but we may see some releases... even a very good surprises if it happens...

Also I have other informations about Phaeton design miniatures... bu I have said too much serious things for now on this very sweet tavern.. I suppose it is worth a good cider master innkeeper?

I think the Elf has earned himself a drink, though his news is - alas!- more bad than good in terms of the possibility of new releases in the near future. At least it explains the delays. Biut when is all this going to happen? Having a plan isn't the same at all as doing anything about it.

And Master Thingol, the Master Ken refs are to the "Tabletop World" URL that he provides above. Very nice models!

What?
Did I say something wrong?
Or did cat bite your tonges?

Huuoooommm ... concerning those Easterlings I have the same information as Master Estel .... huoomm .. . 
as for another matter, Master Rita.de asked me to show some more pics of that Dwaw of Waw - thing .... huoommrhuom ... by now I know about that misprint, Master Gildor ... huom ... I placed a new thread in the Mathom House of MD, as I couldn't find the old one any more ... rhuoommm ... so, for those of you who are interested in that .... huoommm .... there are also pics in the "Uniques Gallery" by the way ..... huoommmm ... I wonder how many coiny things will go for that piece of metal .... huoommmmrhuooooommmmm .... we'll see

Rare things are not cheap....

Huooommmmm .... anyway it still is an extremely rare figure ... huom ... those few who own it will not sell it .... rhuoommhuomhom ... so the only source is The Man himself .... huooommmm

So is it about the name what costs the money, or about the actual production after approvel through Tolkien?

I imagine people wouldn't see them as LOTR figures if they didn't come out under the Mithril banner, regardless of being by the same talented designer and to the same style, which probably means they wouldn't sell in sufficient numbers to make the exercise worthwhile. Nor would they be 'collectibles' in the same way that Mithrils are regarded. Shame.

But I wish I could get my mind round Lars' agenda, if he actually has one. But I find his whole approach to marketing Mithril entirely beyond my understanding.

Also if you do not care, I totally agree to HSF62

I'm also agree with Master Caster... main and the only important fact in this case is our devotion  to a design that gives us Chris.... there are many figures on market and I have seen lot's of them but non of those 32 mm miniatures are not impress me so I do not waste my money on this products. So I like mithril, but I like the Man's design.. So if one day his figures will be under his small company... why not... I will buy... once when the Man discontinues his work... I will close my chapter with 32 mm figures... I will go back to my other hobbies and those minis will be closed in my shelf till the end of my earth time.... so this is it... I'm going to drink something... now....

Yes, let's have a nice drink. Maybe one special "Archer 80's", that seems to be very tasteful.

Thanks for your support also my friends.

Can I join you ? I totally agree, who cares about the mithril stamp ?
What is important is that Chris's minis are the best ME minis ever made and. His work shall continue as long as he can use his hands.
I will try this special "Archer 80's".

Sheers to all here !
