Well, considering it looks like GW is finally drifting out of Middle-earth - the first releases for the third Hobbit film are all in their hated and overpriced finecast, which suggests lots of Low Rate of Production models, not the long term investment plastic models - it does mean that there may be a market that Mithril could chase aggressively.

It struck me that GW's Hobbit range was effectively a collector's range - a bunch of high cost, supposedly high quality miniatures, aimed at a high end market of mature collectors. Note the ratio between the expensive Finecast and the somewhat cheaper plastics. GW had in general eclipsed Mithril's costs (or almost done so) - so now its a competition between design and quality. And GW is at a disadvantage there too.

Now might be a good time to push Mithril's brand somehow.

Those are great news to know Gildor, I did not knew they where starting to walk into a new and maybe better direction. Thank you for sharing that info, puts a bit of light on my heart about mithril.

yeah well I have always pronounced "baba yaga" in France or in english  (it is well known too in mythical characters if you want to search a bit )  even in France


@Maenas : well I don't know how they precisely plan to do it themselves, but I have been talking to Chris about 3D modelling and I have shared a bit of this on Angrenost I think ... He has taken courses to be quite operational with this technology. (He told me he would show me some of his 3D work but I have not received any so far)

What about a Gin and tonic? I will pay for that!

So- I think it is about time to give an invitiation very special: Please, Master Barliman, a drink for Mr. C.Tubb.
For sculpting such a marvellous Christmas figure!

No- Master Milo, it is NOT time for the third breakfast. I already had ONE . . .

Time for a hot chocolate, Master Milo, isn´t it?! 

Excellent. But at least you used them for a good cause, so you're forgiven.

Reading this, I think I will order another one for me... Here has been raining for three days now and it is all grey and cold. Do you need some brickets for the fireplace Barli?
