Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I was wondering when someone would ask for a free drink. Ah well, it's a special day, so why not?

Yes, even in Bree we have a saying that "everything comes to he who waits", and there may be some truth in it. Personally I prefer to think of it not so much as patience but as "bloody-mindedness". Mrs B. says I have an abundance of it.

Alas, Master Regalrick, based on current production times this is potentilly all too true. But I shall try to remain positive for now.

Hi master Barliman,
Congrats for winning suggestion. I hope it will be released within 1 year....

May I ask for 2nd breakfast?

well I'd be optimistic here... so far, except for Forlong, there is a "delay" of 8 months between suggestions and releases (if I remember well), and Michael said that in May they will begin selling again after this waterloo thingy...

so far I think 4 or 5 figurines are ready, among which 3 should even be ready for final casting (if not done yet)...


and now that's the upsetting part... financially, since we never know in advance how much mithril will charge for a given release (remember that sometimes Chris takes the liberty to create a vignette out of a suggestion that was simply a "dual" month... and it is more expensive, but better quality), well since we never know that, and since we never know how many months of "nothingness" there will be as opposed to months with 2....3....4 releases at the same time, it is a complete mess/anarchy problem to manage the proper budget

nothing to spend in 4 months, and suddenly, more than 100€ of figurines in a row (in the case you are in autoshipment), that's a real pain to deal with...



well I need another drink I think

well there can, sometimes be an advantage if they are good with logistic and make a single shipping with all the figs but strangely they manage to make 3 different shippings for figurines which were releases the same month............ (if we forget to request "waiting for single shipment"....)

Two releases a month doesn't bother me because I rarely buy them straight away - I (have to!) wait until I have enough money before I order figures (there's usually a sale at some point every few months). If you're signed up for autoshipment I can appreciate that it might be more of an issue.

Rhuoommm ... what's going on? ... rhûom ... er, rhetorical that was, alas ... huom ... so the Pony is quite in line with Mithril methinks ... hmm ... where's dear Master Thingol? ... alas, Master Hsf62 left quite a while ago ... hoom ... as some others did before ... ggromhuom ... are they all on an early summer holiday? ... except the sleepy barkeep, the Man in the Dark and an old tree ... huomm ... even Master Milo does not ask for third breakfasts that often any more ... huom ...
I lately heard news from some forests that Nob has been seen with a stick and a bundle he carried across one of his shoulders heading southwards ... huoommm ... I just wonder ... huom

Each Time I have put coins on the table, these were taken, no matter a breakfast (or an ale) is delivered or not.
In fact, I do not care as it is sharing good time with good fellows that enjoys me.
By the way, may I ask for a Triple ale today ? kschink...

Master Teobald, I can explain a bit my not often presence here: This year 2015 in France, 1th may, 8th may, 14th may, 25th may are non working days t. Therefore, many of froggy fellows (like me) take benefit from these non working days and are half-time on holidays or long week-ends.

As soon as I have to come back work (like this afternoon), you will see me around, either laughing, eating nor drinking. It could even happen that I sing, standing on the table, if you can bow to see me.

I want no standing or dancing on my tables — I don't want a repeat of what happened last time someone did that!

Ah, sorry, I thought that was a generous donation to my non-existant pension fund.....

Hi Master Barliman,
I came earlier for second breakfast. I will give you coiny things once my hunger is over.

Yea, I'm out here all right - cutting the grass. Help yourself to food - you know where everything is by now.

Good afternoon!
Seems that Barli has made an excellent work cutting the grass outside, a little more height and I think our hobbits did not find the entrance to the pony.
May I have some bread and sausages please? I am bringing spare coiny things so if some fellow wants to join it will be on my side, perhaps Tolwen wants to celebrate his new aquired position at the Wandering Company...
