Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

And to pay the tab afterwards... (the words 'little chance...' spring unbidden to my mind even as I write this).

The Fellowship voting situation isn't getting much clearer, though it's good to see that Boromir has gained a minimal edge on his competitors; but Thomas the Troll is still way ahead.

I was hoping on Eomer, but it seems almost everyone loves those trolls! Oh well, maybe next time.

On another note, does anyone know what M-series is after the Easterlings? Just curious.
Any rumors Master Tree?

Well well, it seems, that the GF member so not love Elves either or not so much than they love Trolls an men. Sad for Wendy an me and our "band of brothers".

Yes, the time of the Elves is over in the 3rd Age, but still there are some who resist the Dark Powers!

If we get the Trolls out of the way now, it leaves the way clear for the Elves, lol. Come what may, I have an Elvish suggestion ready for the next round of suggestions.

Since a single troll sitting in the goal-mouth would completely block it, I don't see how the Elves could score...

And in the superior game they play on the other side of the sundering sea, can you imagine a Troll offensive line? "Are u eyeballin' me, Elfie?" Splat. I think the Elves would need a lot of reserves.

It seems to be another M-series that will leave prior to the easterlings.
Michael discussed in the forum ....

Well. Master Marshal, Eomer seems likely to feature in round two of the voting after all, along with Boromir and Big Tom. Tom's lead didn't grow any more after his initial surge, so perhaps his support isn't as widespread as might have first appeared. But who knows what way things will turn when the scattered votes from round one are redistributed in the last charge for the finishing line?

As regards your enquiry about M ranges, I don't remember another M range being due before the Easterlings, but then I don't remember a lot of things these days... so I shall also be interested to hear what this reference by Michael was about (I haven't got time to search for it myself at the moment).

Mae govannen, my friends,

seems that there are more Elf-friends out there. I cannot remember, that we had many Elves in the GF other than Cirdan and Gil-Galad, 2 Sindarin Elves and some of those smiths.
I wished, we could have on of those great figures C.T. has designed in the past, like the range "Elvenking's hall" or "Lothlorien". These were the Elves influencing my vision of those people mostly. The newer versions of the Elves did not satisfy me much, so there is some hope?

Well we had Thranduil, we also had his standard bearer, Celebrimbor (fighting Annatar), the noldo smith who made Anduril, and as you mentionned Gil-Galad at Gorgoroth and Cirdan at the Grey Havens. that makes three Sindar, and three Noldor.

It's also pretty clear from Michael's phraseology that the proposed 'different type of release (without horses)' is at this moment very hypothetical, which rather suggests that any such range is as yet incomplete, if it has been begun at all.

Is it possible that the strangers the Man in the Dark saw from a distance were some of the stray elements of unreleased ranges known to have been worked on over the years but never released ('Wilderland', for instance)? It will be interesting to learn in due course.

I know of a range that The Man is thinking of doing soon, but not necessarily 'next', but it's far too early to start a rumour about it, and things may change. It certainly doesn't include any horses.

You're a big tease, Barli!    Well, I don't know how big you are (other than bigger than Nob), but you're definitely a tease.  Either way, we'll have to await with bated breath for what comes next.  Speaking of which, it looks like the first round winner is struggling a bit in the final - a bit like our 100 metre mens swimmer at the Olympics, Eamon Sullivan, who broke the world record (which still stands) in the semi-final, but came second in the medal race.

Huooommmmrhuommmm ... I can recall now ... huoom ... it was May last year ... hom ... "I have just completed some Rhudaur figures and have not yet started on the next batch." ... huom ... someone said that long ago .... hom

Sorry Barli, please tell your smaller customers that no offence was meant .  And that definitely sounds like The Man is a tease and a half (in a good way - anticipation is half the fun)!

Well, it has been a while since their was a commotion in here! Just sit back in one of those corners and take it all in. I am just sitting at the end of the bar listening. I would also like another scrumpy for myself as well.
