I doubt so and Joan already suggested to send them back to me without me asking for it.. this is odd..... but most of all... the first casting of Sauron... is lost sad sad

I'm fed up of all of this... I asked them to register the mail they did not... I received the HD2.. registered, but not the Sauron which should have arrived before HD2...

I wrote to Chris about it I'm really fed up with all these problems.... it's been almost one year I have problems with mithril shippings...

But what should the Man do in this case?

Theobald · Thu, Feb9 2012 4:39pm

Huoommm ... well, what could be said ... rhuoommm ... so far I have not received any single figure of the latest releases ... huomm ... at least they tried to send you some, Master Gildor ... huoomm ... if the 1st of Sauron went lost because of some you-know-what by the company it means more than just a shame ... rhuoommm ... I do refrain using better words for that at the moment ... huoom ... just being polite, you know ... rhuoommm ...

with the history the company has, it might not be a bad idea to let them collect orders and then pick them up in person over a weekend? sounds maybe a bit odd, but buying a cheap ryanair ticket would then make the difference between having this casting and losing it.

Always nice to have a wealthy customer in the Pony! I'll get Nob to find that old bottle of '22 we've had out the back for a decade or two and suggest a resonably high price for it. Not too high, of course - I wouldn't want to seem greedy!

well, two or three ms miniatures basically buy you a ticket nowadays.

i'm open to price negotiations regarding the wine, but will have to insist on a try-before-you-buy clause.

Barliman · Fri, Feb10 2012 7:56am

If you can afford such a trip on top of the price of the minis then you're rich in my book! And a trip to Ireland from France or Spain or Germany and back probably wouldn't end up being cheap once you've added in the taxi fares and the other incidentals. Not to mention the inconvenience of it all. So I guess the practicality of such a venture would have to be measured in terms of just how valuable and/or valued the figures were considered to be.

Hadn't thought of comparing the price of an MS Mithril to an air fare before. The fact that they can be mentioned in the same breath shows just how expensive Mithrils have become.

As for the wine, sorry, there's no sampling. You have to pay first - though I guarantee a 10% refund if you throw-up afterwards.

you need to lend me that book of yours to have a read sometime!

anyway, gildor has probably posted for the tenth time that they messed up his orders, and now his first casting has disappeared as well ... that's a lot of time and money gone ... putting up with the continous risk of missing/losing his orders would justify telling them to, say, store 10 orders and then pick them up in person. i've done such things in the past with items where i wanted to be sure they wouldn't go missing (not mithril, i'm not a fellow "shipper") -- it was a suggestion, after all.

as to the wine ... nob was kind enough to provide me with the necessary bottle after we had a chat -- ver nice fellow, he is.
i ultimately decided against buying it, 'twas a bit too dry and dusty for my taste. but thanks for the offer, much appreciated!

A rich man like you wouldn't understand the book—it's my bank account passbook, and there's nothing in it.

Theobald · Fri, Feb10 2012 2:46pm

Huuooommmm ... strange that is, Master Barliman ... huomm ... so on what do you spend all them coiny-things? ... rhuooom?m

Barliman · Fri, Feb10 2012 2:53pm

It's not so much of a mystery when you consider how few of my patrons ever actually pay for their provender or drinks.

Theobald · Fri, Feb10 2012 5:42pm

Huooommm ... right you are again, Master Barliman, right indeed ... huom ... hard job that is ... rrhuûoomm ... but let's hope that the roof stays on, or whatever it is you say in Bree ... hooomm ... it nearly seems as if you're working for free ... alas ...

try picking a naked man’s (or troll’s) pocket, is all i can say. so much about richful thinking.

Barliman · Fri, Feb10 2012 9:00pm

I'm not sure I understand what you mean (sorry, but my grasp of Troll isn't very good, so I'm not sure how trying to pick a non-existent pocket would help solve my lack of funds); but "richful" is cetainly an interesting word. I assume it's Troll dialect.

i just countered your assumption that i'm rich with a turkish proverb -- meaning there are no funds, basically.

troll lawyer slang, in fact.

If there's sufficient money around to fly to Ireland to collect a handful of toy soldiers then there must be funds somewhere (that's an old Bree proverb). The problem is that said funds aren't in the Pony's cash register.

i am afraid that you had one pint of scrumpy too many yourself, dear innkeeper—i never flew to ireland and never wrote i did (old troll proverb).

Gildor Inglorion · Sat, Feb11 2012 10:15pm

mmhh in a totally different topic... I'd need some advice from painters who use aerographs?
I'm tempted to begin working with aero, as Prince August (France) released their own brand of aerograph painters (including Prince August compressors oO) and I was wondering if someone had examples of mithril figurines painted with aero?

Now you're just being tiresomely trollish. Read my post and then tell me where exactly I said that anyone flew to Ireland (I don't even mention trolls)!

Clearly you don't read very well after a pint or two. I was merely reflecting on the fact that if someone could afford to fly to Ireland to collect figures, then there'd clearly have to be money around somewhere, and if there was, then I want some of it - in exchange for some of my fine ales, of course.

Hi everyone,

May I offer free drinks for I had knee surgery last week and everything went fine so I'd like to celebrate it here, but will need a special sit where I can lay down my leg.
By the way, I received CT minis but could not manage to take pics to compare new PCH & CH9 as I am not allowed to walk very much, except for eating, slepping and...well you you know what.

Cheers !

I hope you can make it to the bar so that I don't have to walk all the way over there with your drink...

Milo · Sun, Feb12 2012 2:57pm

Sorry Barliman, I need my crutches to walk or stand, so I could not hold my pint unless seated....
Please, maybe the good sound of gold will motivate you to bring me drinks ?
