:rolleyes: . . . oh- sorry. I think I haven´t understood the system yet . . . :rolleyes:
I have voted ONCE. ( Only?! ) Was it wrong. Was there the possibility for me to have more votes . . .October 27, 2010 at 1:16 pm #12653Gildor you could send e-mail to all in user list if it is possible so maybe this will increase number of members who would like to vote in this poll…..
October 27, 2010 at 5:22 pm #12661you could vote only ONCE but you could choose as many suggestions as you wanted… and each checkbox counts for one “vote”
to Thingol, yes I may do that indeed
October 27, 2010 at 6:24 pm #12663October 27, 2010 at 6:52 pm #12664Well, there are at least 11 voters.
October 27, 2010 at 7:58 pm #12665hi wendy, nice to see you being active again. seems some of us have been invisible for some reasons (me too).
But it is one voter more….October 27, 2010 at 8:03 pm #12667Than Gildor accomplish this… with more votes of potential voters Chris will seriously consider all those ideas… and if in some short future he made some kind of new M list with this ideas than on GF MS forum will be easier to left new suggestions…
October 27, 2010 at 9:03 pm #12668well clearly the stats show that the passing of the grey company has a big majority… that’s a good thing… easterlings are already scheduled (and even made) I think so the problem is about distribution and mass casting not really production
and the wilderlands is an old “abandonned” set that exists I don’t think Chris would resculpt them since they already exist…
we have to remember it is about production and not distribution here
but I will submit all those ideas to chris and eventually that will lead him to release the wilderlands on ebay
October 27, 2010 at 9:06 pm #12669Thingol : I hope all of this brings more fame to the site, but I would not want to have Mithril (lars and michael as webmaster of the official forum) be upset with me… because such polls should be done on the official board but the official boards are less active than the MMP….. that’s a fact… and it is Chris decision to promote MMP instead of Mithril official board when it comes to suggestions…
I just hope this creates no “rivalry” between mithrilfigures forum and mmp forum…
October 27, 2010 at 9:38 pm #12671Gildor, I can only thank you for your activities here. I really hope this poll can lead The Man being a bit active for himself.
Releasing the wilderlands range on ebay could be such a thing . . .Or remember those Irish Heroes . . .
I agree to you, it was a good vote, a wise vote!
October 28, 2010 at 5:40 am #12676The already produced series such as the Easterlings and the Wilderland figures have costs paid by Mithril/PA already in them, they would likely be first produced for sale as far as M releases are concerned, if they could be sold profitably enough for Lars. I believe if Chris could go to Lars and say: “Look at this interest, we can sell enough of these series to be profitable,” The Wilderlands and Easterling would be produced, but probably at higher prices per figure than previous M series figures.
I understand that this is a poll that asked for new ideas, and the Grey Company (and others) would be great if produced. But believe me, the price per piece for any new M series would also need to be higher than we are used to before Mithril would agree to make it.
I sympathize with you Theo, the idea of figures made already but not released for sale is a sad one. I hope they will at least find their way on ebay someday, as Chris intended with the Wilderland series last summer until he cancelled his plans due to the Galadriel recasts being sold on ebay.
October 28, 2010 at 5:43 am #12677I was thinking about our members here on MMP not on GF forum… I understand that this would be punch in the eye to Lars and Michael…….. :rolleyes:
and as Master arches said…. it will be nice to buy from Chris directly those abendoned wilderlands range… why not ! This figures are are in final his authoring work… and I’m sure that all of us would like to spend some valuables coins to this release….
I think Master Twirch that in some moment Chris will be able to do this….
Anyway I hope the prices of every range would not be double than last one (HD1 release)
October 28, 2010 at 6:08 am #12679Let me state here, Gildor, that Mithril would surely be really dead or nothing more than a “living dead” or zombie if mmp would not be run by you. I say this not to please you, it is true!!
There are so many lead figures companies out there, many more than in the 80ies and 90ies, and face the “great lord” on the market successfully, that it makes you wonder, how Mithril could survive such a competitive pressure. It is just, because 1.) there are some “geeks/freaks” or how you would like to call them, who are willing to buy and 2.) because there is one great sculptor who is able to catch atmosphere in his sculpts.
The Group of geeks is quite small and with every single geek who is upset, Mithril looses on of his “sponsors”. mmp has does comfort us, unites us and gives us a homely house like Rivendell, if the world is falling under dark shadows. If Mithril will die, this place will be unsafe for sure, too……..
I like this poll!! I like mmp!! I wish, the company would do as much to keep Mithril alive.
October 28, 2010 at 7:32 am #12681True Master Estele….. Great truth… !
October 28, 2010 at 7:38 am #12682Without MMP, I would never have revived my mithril passion. Master Estel is totally right.
October 28, 2010 at 8:38 am #12683Oh yes, he is!
I have bought 4 figures via mithril this year! I would have bought 40, if there are any . . .
But Tom is also right !
I would like to add, that a higher price for the M-range is still less than the GF-price. And that counts.
I always had and still have a massive problem with this politic of 20€ for a 32mm figure.
If people are willing to spend 20€ for a warg rider I don´t be afraid of anything else . . .PS: maybe we could take the short cut and give this poll also to Master Lars E. directly. 😡
October 28, 2010 at 11:29 am #12685please separate the problems… price is a matter, release is another
the laws of offer and demand… prices are necessarily high when low demand… etc etc…
the next M range release may and will surely have HIGH prices… but maybe we should accept that and show mithril that we want a release… if we garner enough interest and enough buyers, this will generate new stat numbers of Demand for Mithril, which will then adjust their offer and the price can only decrease afterwards…
Remember this poll is the DESIRE of CHRIS TUBB… it is HIS idea, not mine nor Mithril …. because he knows the “notoriety” and seriousness and viability of MMP as opposed to the official mithril boards (outside the GF forums)
the poll is not about releasing.. it is about producing… and Chris will try to use the stats to convince Lars about the viability of a project…
October 28, 2010 at 1:04 pm #12687hmm, I miss the kin-strife-suggestion…..
but the other suggestions are quite nice!
October 28, 2010 at 2:41 pm #12692Thank you, Gildor, I received your note concerning this vote. I did already. But what just came to my mind is, that as far as I know, two sets from the series of this list do already exist and just have to be produced by Mithril. Maybe it’s worth to keep that in mind.
October 28, 2010 at 3:01 pm #12697That’s good Master Ent, so Mithril can sleep for another 2 years.:lol:
