Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Go look in the gallery section for some of the initial pictures. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take more photos today.

Beyond that...

I see there's a Helm's Deep recall in effect, and anyone who doesn't like the "quality" (by which I take to mean the undercoating) can return the figures.

Anyone going to take them up on it?

You speak out my thoughts, Master Barliman. A bit late, you say it right. In this particular case I am not sure what to think. I feel a little bit teased . . .
I also stripped the primer off mine, and that was hell. I told it before.
But- let us believe in the good will of that company. It is a gentle signal, isn´t it . . .
PS: but somebody should inform master Michael, that the fellowship miniatures´primer is not in better condition . . .

Well, as far as I am concerned I can tell that the three Trolls have got a similar thick paste covered on.

Sorry David, for being that late. The German nights have a little bit of this subtropical-zones in the moment.
Yes, I have received Bert. The third Troll. And the shipment was faster than ever in my case . . .
It seems that you will be right concerning your matters . . .

Today's Mithril newsletter says that Axel's suggestion won the June GF poll... Odd, I thought, didn't I suggest him? But then, checking back, I find that Axel had indeed suggested him before I did (in that particular month!), and I just wasn't paying attention!

I'm so confused my head's in a spin. I think I need one of my famous drinks.

However, I'll be interested to see what form the GF Bombur will now take, since Master Axel wasn't specific how he should look, whereas I wanted him in armour as per the Battle of Five Armies - which, I earnestly hope, is still the persona he'll assume...

Hmm - in fact the Helm's Deep 'recall' was announced in a special Mithril email (to GF members only?) several days ago - didn't you get one, Master Gildor? - and has already been commented on in the Taproom (see above). Mind you, I wouldnt call it a 'generous' offer so much as 'doing the right thing', but it's still far better than not doing anything at all.

. . .peutetre a la Tour De France!

Worry over I got the payment request sent for the second part of the order, it may be that the primer issue was being sorted. so here I am poorer in the pocket, but waiting in anticipation

There seems to be some out of sequence sending of info from the company of late, perhaps they are in aspin over the recent issues, lol. I agree it is a positive offer to replace figures, but given the recent bad press re prices etc. as Barli says in the circumstances more a case of doing the right thing.

By the way Barli, in the book your 'nickname' is Barley! which do you prefer?

"Ahh," says a voice from the corner, dark, but lit subtly by the amber glow of a pipe. "Barli is short for Barliman, which in turn is a contraction of 'Barley Man,' which undoubtedly was a nickname for anyone who could brew a good barrel of beer. And all good beer is most certainly brewed without rat hair!"

Huuooommmm ... I was away for some time ... rhuoommm ... had to hang up pictures in some galleries ... huommm ... hard work it was ... hom ...

Huoommm ... I'm sure about that, Master Barliman ... huom ... absolutely sure I am ...

I'm not sure that even the fellow in the corner is actually here - though it is very dark over there, and I haven't seen his pipe glowing for a while.
