Hello Master Ent,
Based upon the Frumgar experience, I would advise the 100 sold by Mithril plus the 30 to the sponsor(s). Although Gildor’s idea would be nice, I doubt Mithril would make a first batch, and then start a second one later, at the option of the sponsor. they want to know up front what the production total will be so that they can advise buyers of the availability of the piece.
Also, although there may be some 250 GF members (which I believe means there have been 250 total since the begining of the GF, and some have registered more than once, not that there are currently that many, even counting those who don’t vote or participate in the forums) there are still several dozens of Frumgars left to be sold out of 200 (not including the 30 numbered ones), and it has been well over a year since he was commissioned. This is even though Frumgar is being sold not just to GF members, but through an ebay store and is available to anyone worldwide!
In the case of an MX, of course, the sponsor can commission as many as they want, but I believe that it is rarity which makes an MX special.
