Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Looks like a very impressive bit of modelling, but what is the company? It's a much more accurate representation of the Ian McKellen version of Gandalf than GW's - especially if the scale is genuinely 30mm and not some sort of super-sized hybrid (or "Hero Scale", as the Fantasy companies like to call it).

That's the impression I get too.

huoommm ... very strange that seems to be, Master Barliman ... rhuoom ... but definitely it wasn't me .... huom

I love this sentence. I imagine you behind the bar holding in one hand this blister and on the other hand a nice pint (or maybe cup of tee)

Only acceptable if it comes with strawberry jam and really thick butter.

Yes, I've still got the figures. I've just sent the seller an email apologising for the confusion. I'll mail the figures on to you (might not be able to send it till Monday now - hope that's all right).

Huuooooooommm ... H°Om ... congratulations to you, Master Thingol for winning the painting competition .... rhuóm ... if I just got that right ... huom ... though ... er ... to be honest ... hom ... what is all this fuzz about "advantage points" or "loyalty points" ... rhuuoomm ... maybe someone around here knows better than me about that as I can see no sense in it .... huom

Hi dear friends ! Thanks for congratulations for my win in this competition ! I'm really happy with this winning... every "penny" is great for our small salaries here in another EU country with low standard of living...

So please dear innkeeper I'll like to order drinks in manny barrels for all mithril friends in this our little world... Cheers to all of you dear friends !

I'm going to order now last 4 MS figures...

On another matter entirely, might anyone here know why on earth I've been sent an MS435, apparently purchased on eBay circa 14 September? It's a mystery to me. I've found a completed eBay listing that matches that date, and the price is rendered in green on the item's page, which normally indicates that the account holder (i.e. me) won the item, but I didn't bid on it, win it or pay for it (it certainly doesn't show up on my PayPal account), so I'm utterly mystified.

The only thing I thought might explain it is if someone here asked for it to be mailed to me for forwarding. Did they? Not that this would explain the winner's "green" price showing on my eBay page.

Very, very confusing.

I've sent an email to the only recent MS435 eBay seller that I can find, so I guess I shall have to wait and see what they say. Currently I'm extremely puzzled, since obviously the seller must have got my address from somewhere in order to mail the figures.

What a great little (real-life) story, I would love to have seen the look of confusion on your face Barli. At least you now know that it wasn't the Scrumpy

Huuoommmm ... well, Master Barliman ... er ... a good tap-pump works best if you try to use the handle vertically ... huom ... there's no use in trying to shift it to the left or right .... huoommm ... that's all I know ... rhuoommm ... though ... talking about turning tabs it just comes to my mind to ask you if my latest tab can be turned again for giving you more space to scratch some more of your very nice marks on it ... ? ....

Another way I just discovered is to check option "Use your advantage points" in your cart. This provides automatic price reduction !
It is a far better option for good clients.

I totally agree Master ent.
Lack of space pushes me also to take the price reduction for my next purchases instead of having more spare miniatures.

Huooommmm .... Master Barliman, please ... would you start filling me a nice bowl of that clear-clean-non-sparkeling-honey-coloured - you know-what-liquid and have a free drink to all present regulars around here ... yes. indeed, them wargskins have been cleaned by now ... rhuom ... that's my job in here, as you know ... rhûom ... I hope you managed to turn my latest bar tab to find some place to scratch your very nice marks on it .... rhuom? ... er, no? ... alas ... fool it is, you say? ... Master Barliman, I'll buy a new one and next time bring some of that coiny-things you're keen of ... huoommm ... but, yer know, I cannot haste everything .... huoomm ... talkative? ... not me, not a tree ... never ... though ... 4444 might reveil that I'm not dead or losing interest ... hooommm ... no, no spicy rat-tails in this fine brew, please ... ahem, don't forget to top it up, please ... huoommm ... as some people in Bree use to say ... rhuoommm

huoommmm .... thank you very much, Master Barkeep .... so a decent Cheerioh! to you and all regulars being present ... huoomm ... we should avoid to wake up The Man in the Dark, as he always keeps watch in here ... rhuom ... alas, sane I am indeed ... that's only because I use to pinch out them rat-tails from the liquid you serve ... rhuôm ....
<--------------------- !!!               look it's                4444       have a nice day, mefriends and fellers ....  huooooommmmmm

The company is Knight Models which currently has a Lord of the Rings line in 70mm.

Here is another preview of the incoming 30mm line, Bilbo this time: Link
