Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Yes, the picture is not good, but they have put this pic in the Newsletter. However, I love the horse laden with pitchers of wine. 
Who knows! Someday They may be able to get my suggestion mercarder dwarf of Khazad-dum with pony loaded with weapons and armor come true.......

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Yes indeed, it looks to be an example of The Man at his very best. A very nicely imagined figure.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Was this a mounted figure suggestion??? I can´t remember . . .
So this (absolutely brilliant) interpretation gives us a free horse, or am I wrong?
If it is so, I think this is a brilliant coup of The Man! This figure is already ordered . . .
Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Hey, I think you're right - though I doubt the horse will be for "free" - this is Mithril, we're talking about! But yes, I think it was a "single figure" suggestion at the time.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
If I think about it, I might become a male Dorwinrim Wine Merchant! Would fit into the "Pony project" too....

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
One more figure to convert and I know already which one I use.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Master Archer and Master Barkeep, you are right, it definitely was a single month. I was very delighted when Chris showed me the initial rough and he said he couldn't help it, she had to have a horse to help her ply her wares. I was very happy, as we don't get many figures with mounts. I didn't say anything so I wouldn't spoil his surprise ;-)

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Sorry, the lady only had wine. Perhaps I should change the Pony to a wine bar? It would be a good way of getting a more pretentious class of clientele - I could increase my prices and they'd still pay their tabs on time ("expenses" accounts).

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Never fear, Master Quendil, you're safe in Bree - we don't let Porsches into the stable yard. And I thought you were nobles, Master Dave - do you mean you're not? I'll remove the toilet rolls from the lavatories if that's the case. Nob? Hang some old serviettes on a hook....

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Absolutely amazing figure. MS572 is on top on my future buying list !
Barliman, I've tried many Val de Loire wines today, I will come back to a good, fesh and dark beer now.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
That tends to indicate that they're the same handful of people as usually vote for the MS figures. I thought people other than Fellowship members could also vote for the M ranges? It seems that they're not, even if they're allowed to. Doesn't augur well as regards the price...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
That's just it, really.
Worse, when the only "new" thing coming out (the MS figures) requires an extra step to purchase - the Bronze status membership - most people won't take that extra step.
- Wow, lovely figure.
- 21 euro, lotta money, but wow, lovely figure.

- What's this? A membership? No, its ok.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I'm sure you're right.
Does anyone know for sure exactly how many MS figures sell each time, give or take the odd few? Because I'm beginning to think that's how many new M figures will sell too. Doesn't augur well as regards the price...
...Hang on, haven't I said that already?
But cynicism and pessimism aside, I guess I shall just have to wait and see - as several people have already said elsewhere on this site. I'm sure if the Tree was here at the moment he'd tell me to be patient. "Don't be hasty," or "hoooummmms" to that effect.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I think that I have seen one or two bronze members commenting on the new M series. So we will have at least a few besides the regular Gold Fellowship members.
