Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

If I am asking that it's also because each time I am in contact with the Man... he is also inquiring about that... He is actually as curious about this figurine as I am myself.. He really wants to find out... I gave him the names to contact as Martin and Silvie were once friends of his... but he is too far apparently and the emails are not functionning that well with them...

These are the data from the website .....

it seems the shop has closed definitively...which is sad... and removes all possibilities to have pictures of the 1989 vignette

well i don't think I'm pessmistic a lot but realist... it's been a complete year we've been trying to enter in contact with them. Since last september actually...

Hmm.. chasing chimeras...

has anybody an idea who the German distributor for Mithril was in the late eighties?

Well, I have been phoning them every now and then at different hours and days but I haven't got an answer, I have also written an email but it was returned with a server message that the email adress does not exist anymore.

I am a bit afraid now. 

It seems that they have definetly closed, also they were the spanish distributors for mithril, but now on the mithril page the spanish distributor is empty. Maybe someone there know something about Martin and Silvie.

I will continue with the phonecalls and the visits to the shop... maybe one day i will be luky enough.

Wel I do not know, yesterday I was investigating on the net, and found anoter adress, I think it's their home, maybe I will try to go there and see the postbox, if its there I will write them a letter.

The thing is that the name of the shop is still there, also the two phone numbers are still operative, one of them with a message from Silvie telling the opening hours. Also the web is still online (not updated, but full operative).
The last movements of mercantil books where on february last year. It doesn not say anywere that they have closed.

Maybe they are with Mithrandir? Seriously now I will investigate more to see what really happened.

Hello all!
Today I have stumbled upon a video in which you all can have a glimpse of what they had in their shop. You will also meet Silvie and Martin if you didn't before.
It is a video from a local tv channel that I have found today, but it is from 2004. In it, Sylvie talks about they have been saving one miniature of each reference they had been selling for 20 years, so they own more than 25000 references whose moulds or original creators are gone. They also talk about the plans of opening a future museum of miniatures (with all the previous material) and that if they do so, it would be the first in all the country (Spain) of that kind. Unfortunately we all know were this ended soo...  Anyway there are quite a few shots of their mithril collection, but I haven't seen those christmas specials in the vid. Sorry

Some months ago I passed through the front door of the shop and there is still no other commerce there, so I am supposing everything is still there but closed. That's just a guess, because you cannot put all that things into a normal house. This brings a lot of memories from the past, I spent there lots of hours studying their painted miniatures and the mithril collection, it was a really good time. Hope you'll like it.

Will also share here an article (in spanish, but you can use google translator) from a known miniatures and rolegames of our country, that speaks about the nostalgy that emanates from that name. Lots of people there speak of it with a good taste in the mouth. Even our imisiel.... (is that you? or maybe another one with your very same nick)

a real pity I wish someone had at least the "keys" to this shop as to not have all the stuff stored them go totally abandonned or ends up thrown away or destroyed by any accident or else. I'm sure we could have some mysteries revealed among all those glasscases

So many good memories....

What do you mean with we all now how the story ended?
