I remember day when I was fill in registration on our forum, and when you were left welcome notes for me like in past days for others new members. I think that minimum of decency should be… to left first post and just say "Thanks guys" !
than is free to go without paying any drink in the Pony...

Well spoken, Master Thingol !
That minimum of decency evaporates here sometimes . . .

So does the beer!

Hello guys!
I'am very surprised that news went that fast
but that 's a good thing.
So, first I'd like to thank you all for the greetings, which were really nice to read!
Ok, so I think I owe you a pint of ale or Guiness, and I'll present myself in a couple of sentences.
As you already know, my name is Christophe, and celtof came from the following two words put together: Celeborn-Christophe (I used to use the nickname Celeborn), and I'm French but I've been living in England for 5 years.
I started my collection of Mithril when I was in high school around 1990, and every four years I'm trying to complete it, but it's a very difficult task. So far something like 7 minis under M83 are still missing in my collection (besides the MS and MX ones), but they are the rarest.. sigh... I'd like to have more time to go back to painting them. Maybe someday :-)
Anyways, I'm glad to have found that place that share the same interest as me in everything related to Tolkien and Mithril :-) I may not be able to log here as often as I'd like though.
Cheers everyone!

Greetings, Master Celtof. Afraid we haven't got any Guiness, only Guinness (they taste very similar, but your eyes focus better after Guiness). Oh, and I'll let you off paying this time - I'm kind that way. Sometimes (OK, not very often, but it has been known. The last time was in 1976, I think it was on a Thursday.)

Seems that Master Celtof is a nice guy! Good to have another Christoph´e here around.
Concerning my last travel I would prefer a half pint of cider, glad about the barkeep´s offer . . .
PS: who came to the idea to use that "rita.de" . . . ?

Puuuhhh- I have seen that Variag Archer today. One of the absolutely BEST miniatures The Man made so far.
What do you think, mithril enthusiastics . . . ? You don´t remember the picture? I gave you a support . . .

PS: thanks Nino who sent me the newsletter which I didn´t receive because I spent time in Dol Amroth . . .

Strange Barkeep this one....
First i don't get a drink without coiny things and then he pays for the next round 
I hope you are not sick Master Barliman, are you? 

Offline
My house, my rules, Master Caster. But 'strange'? Maybe. It's what comes of working in the Pony and at a 'real' job (hah...) at the same time.

Huuoommmm ... so I just learned that there might be a chance for a 2010-Christmas-figure ... huommm ... I'll keep my fingers crossed ... ahem ... Mithril tradition that is to me ... huom ... though this year I obviously didn't have to start a thread elsewhere about this matter ... huomrhuom ... but we'll see what happens ... hom

I also like the news in the newsletter regarding the White Council 'boxed set'. I think I might actually be able to afford it after all!

... MB560 in limited edition... great... I hope soon will be released ! I will take loan for Mithril for happy ending of this year

a MB!! Rejoice! it is the first MB in quite a while!!!! and the first MB depicting a real "living diorama" since MB279 "lord of the Nazgul" I think!
I'll try my BEST to promote it in the shops I know...I'll try but we have to remember that without any action from Prince August France, nobody will do anything....
Offline
Huuoooommmm ... right, Master Gildor, about remembering the MBs .... huoooommm .... as far as I understood that box might be similar to the latest MX-UP-box which I thought was excellent ... huom ... but we'll see ... rhuooooommmmmmmm ... the floor? ... huom ... let me guess it'll be a flag-stone floor ... huom
Offline
well the MX UP box was cool but if it is meant for public release, it will require some design, blister and image on the front... the UP box is unsellable in any retailers, it lacks design for a store but I suppose they simply need to make a colorful and designed white overblister for the blue box and that works
Offline
Well, I remember that there was the MB 422 and that shows Smoug triumphanting.
Nevertheless, that White Council box will be THE event of the year, I suppose.
For personal reasons I would like to have a blue box, I am NOT owning the UP still.
But I WILL own the White Council . . .
