Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Barli went quickly to the taproom, before I could answer .......Here you are!
You said:

"However, it's only a few months since the latest Ent, and he was the "right" size, so Mithril's policy is a little inconsistent on that score - and it doesn't explain why we're suddenly getting so many large vignette MS releases. One Huorn surely involved a lot less metal than a vignette and could therefore have been the same height as his forebears?"

Is it consistent to link the final price only to the weight of the figure? Although it would make sense that the answer is yes, the fact is that Mithril set prices without regard to this (compare MS 569-570, 568-572, 574-578).
why there are more expensive large vignettes lately? Perhaps The Man is bored to see "limited" his creativity and try to create scenes as he can. This would also explain future emissions Phaeton ......
or perhaps, simply, they make more money with expensive vignettes ...... (remember that making money is always the ultimate goal)

you must add the "mould building" and casting involved in making big pieces too not only the price in metal.

Still I agree with Barliman, I don't see why the huorn would be so small...

Did you weigh the figurine, as opposed the the ent ? (considering the ent is something like a vignette too, I dont remember but I don't think the ent was the price a of a "single" fig, as opposed to the huorn?

As I said a few days ago....it is not a problem in the quantity of metal - this was Huron's child.....

I put Huorn with his mithril friends in my Glass cabinet last week-end, he is very small indeed. But some real trees are much smaller than others don't they ?
Anyway, to my point of view, no matter the size, I always love having new Ents joining my hill.

Please Master Barliman, serve a round to people who come here tonight. No specific reason, just my pleasure to share good time and friendship here.

kshink...I know this sounds ever more friendly to your ears !

Sorry- this discussion is breaking my nerves meanwhiling.
Why don´t you say that this Huorn is a misunderstanding! And for sure- he is!
Clearly- AN ENT is surely something different in our imagination. I say OUR, because I suppose I am not the only one . . .
Make your mind up what an ENT suppose to be . . . 

A scrumpy please, MAster B, with extra rat-tail!

Huoomm ... now that's the best barkeep in Bree .... rhuomm ... he even is able to understand trees ... hûûûûûômmm  ... ah, thank you for that bowl ....

Not sure if he is around Master Mornedhel, but I know where he keeps the key to the cellar

On another matter, is it just me, or has anyone else found they can't get into the GF area of Mithril's website? I tried to gain access last night to make a figure suggestion and found that the current password (or at least, what I assume is still the current password (to do with a particular time of year and a large creature) and couldn't get in. Any suggestions? I've sent an email to Michael but haven't yet received a response.

Aha, just found the old email with the new password - fortunately my trash can hasn't been emptied lately.

It wasn't a new suggestion, but one I'd suggested before - and that rascal Master Milo had beat me to it anyway - clearly a fellow with good taste.

The prices.

Hang on, Master Tree, aren't you the one whose motto is "Don't be hasty"?? I've been taking lessons from you, and am trying to learn not to rush.
