Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

ok then it may be a DNS refresh problem, not linked to the site itself but to its indexing throughout the international world wide web... everything should hopefully be solved soon if not yet

I could not view the page from yesterday morning EST till, well, right now.

I checked, a lot.

well yes it was a change in their server as I was informed... the DNS update worldwide takes sometimes and well, it seems it took one entire day to replicate throughout the World Wide Web... That should be fine now, no more worries

Master Butterbur please serve a drink to all those poor anxious fellows

(NB: Wendy, I think I beat you in terms of slowness of painting   )

Hoorah! I am able to get to this site!
I have tried for days with no luck, but now everything is ok.

Rhuooommmmmm .... it works, doesn't it? .... so why haste and panic? .... rhuooommm ...
as for you, Master Barliman, you shouldn't  leave every job to Nob .... huuuooomm ... may I please have a bowl of that clear-clean water you serve, please. .... hooommm.

I couldn't get in for two days and asked Theo if he had the same problem, which he did. Then yesterday evening he emailed me that the site was up and I got in fine.

As for William's left hand, I don't remember the original suggestion, but when I suggested him this time I asked for a large animal bone to be used as a cudgle. Convenient for a Troll . . . first you eat the meat off the bone and then you have a weapon!

Hroommm ... huoommm ... same old story again ... huoommm ... some of the regulars here avoid to drink clear-clean water ... so they cannot remember what good-old William was holding in his hand .... rhuoommm ... you might re-read "There and Back Again" ... huoommm ... as far as I remember they roasted mutton (and were quite displeased to have mutton everey day) ... drinking from large mugs instead of using smaller receptacles for drinking that liquid they took from the barrel (JRRT was not very precise about the liquid) .... huoommmrhuomm ...
As far as I witness Master Barliman is serving some of that ... rhuoommm ... liquid ...hom or why else is he able to create words like "woolly-foted" (yes, it's the same one who criticised me precise language a short time ago when I used the word word Ingwer instead of ginger ...)
Then Master Twrich forgot about the second syllable of my name which is the one to characterize me perfectly ... rhuooommm ... not to mention Master Ddaines obviously having sipped some of that brew as he not even can remember what he suggested .... rhuoooommmmhom .... anyway, I like you people, you're most entertaining .... hom ... alas, once again a long explanation ... but you know ... once trees are decided they react and answer .... huooommmm ...

Laughing out loud, a voice from a dark corner (one of many, and the echoes lately make it hard to discern which one) says: "Well, I prefer my memory, even if it turns out to be wrong!"

Huooommmm .... need a drink, Master Barliman, just to calm down a bit ... huoomm ... clearcleanyouknow .... hom

I voted for Celebrian and the female assassin

Still waiting for Barliman's address.

But yes, I suspect Mithril probably shifts about 100 Fellowship miniatures in the near term, and then another fifty or so in the longer term, meaning that they always have back catalogue stock of the miniatures. These things, because they are highly specific, aren't going to move as fast.  As amazing as the figures are, some of the results have been odd in terms of broader appeal. The king of Numenor figure is beautiful - but how many people want to buy the king of Numenor?

Someone might, but its probably not enough someones.

Others have far broader appeal, but I suspect people who might buy, say, the Haradrim champion on war camel,  would be put off by the Fellowship obligation. I suspect the better deal is that the Fellowship suggests, votes and so forth, but the results are open to all to purchase.

Mithril is learning. Look at Imrahil. Still avaiable. Only 150 casts worlwide and after all this time not sold out.
I'm sure it is worse with the fellowship figures. So why cast 250 and have 150 sitting on a shelf for years. Not very smart I believe.
