Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

oh, Danny boy,
the pipes, the pipes are calling
from glen to glen, and down the mountain side
the summer's gone, and all roses falling
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
And when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

Well, what do you think of this month's Fellowship voting? 24 votes? Do I detect a touch of apathy?

That's what worries me...

well I must admit that all in all, the news provided by Michael are good ones, not only in terms of pricing but mostly in terms of marketing and promotion in the US!!

that's a beginning... I just asked if there was an offer to preorder the WHOLE set... as I saw bundles for Packs of 3... but there should be one for ordering the full set in single...

At the current prices I'm not sure I'll be buying any HD2 at all. Shame, but there are greater priorities in life for the pittance I earn. Like eating.

And I notice that good old Mithril have, unsurprisingly, cocked things up on their website, calling both Gamling's Rally and Death to the Strawheads "Helm's Deep 1". Their one communal brain cell must still be on holiday.

Huoommm .... yes, indeed ... though ... rhuommm ... also some other things seems to be shaping, as far as I know ... rhuoomm ... as what you lately called apathy, Master Barliman, I witnessed while you put me in charge of the Pony ... huoomm ... with that I felt very much honoured, by the by ... rhuoomm ... though ... I know of things that are moving ... rhuomm ...
ahhh, Master barkeep if you could please fill me a bowl with some sparkeling (sic) water ... rhuomm ... then we might get back to the good ol' times when the Pony was a place of facts and rumours in former MMP-times ... rghuU°mmm ... "sorry" ... sometimes we had facts, sometimes we had rumours ... rrrhuoommm ... fact is, me bowl's empty, rumour is there's a lot moving outside the Pony .... huomm .. just believe me ... HUomm..m ?

Rhuoomm ... sorry, Master Gildor I was printing while your last entry was seen ... rhuomm ...
to be honest, I rather prefer being in the Prancing Pony relaxing ... rhuomm .. though, if I chose I could step outside for awhile ... rhuoomm ... why always have these speculations about prices here ... rhuomm ... is it really all your concerns are about, I wonder. ...... ggruuuoohummm ... is there any body around here to enjoy that the Strawheads might finally be released (and a very fine bunch they are) ... rhuomm ... years of complaining that such set wasn't released ... rhuom... now, as it might be about to be released, complaining ... huoomm ... so what? ... rhuoommm ... I'm fed up with this ... you want quality for a dime ... rhuoomm .. then you're at the right place here in the "Pony" .... rhuoommm .... sorry mefriends ... rhuommm ... though I could also provide rumours .... huommm ... interesting ones I believe ... hooommmmm ,,,,

I sent a mail to Lars saying I intend to pre-order the all set, and will wait to buy it with all my missing range (120 minis) in 2012, once my budget is secured.

Did anyone else notice, though, that HD2 is described as the second of three sets? The Man once told me about a fourth and even a fifth set, but it sounds as if they've faded away. Shame. Still, some of the theoretical figures seem to be appearing regardless, more by chance than by design...

Well I've just ordered the Dorwinion wine merchant, a second White Council and entombed Balrog for a couple of projects I have in mind, plus a couple of other older bits and pieces so my funds are spent for a while , but to be honest what I've just ordered are of more practical use to me at this moment in time than the HD 2 figures.

Still, bit by bit these prices are more affordable than 22+ euros, so I can try and sneak them in gradually I suppose. I still wish we could get them for non EU prices, roll on the referrendum!!!

I wonder how this deal that Mithril has struck will affect who decides on what the next range might be?

It is good to see everyone in good cheer today! I have just preordered 3 each of the first release. I must remind everyone that if they wanted to pick up an extra of the 6 months or older MS miniatures they should do it soon before sales are open to everyone.

We shall see. I shan't be holding my breath in the meantime. In the meantime I need to make some budget plans to work out what to order first out of the several things that I want. Probably be a certain Ent whacking hell out of a person of semi-Orcish extraction.

they said it, personnally I don't care if they release MS widely, Mithril HAS to be present and to SELL something outside the small numbers that we represent... all those MS have Never been advertised outside the GF because they were not available... it's time to change...

Indeed the fellowship has to retain some exclusivity :  suggesting, voting and better price for memberships are a bonus, besides, all MS figurines will only be available to gold fellowship only for the six first months of their release, then they will become publicly available... at slightly higher price for non members

this is , a really good plan I think... I had not thought about it but this is a good thing... they should use the french Prince August Distributor to do the same I think... it could be a good step!
