      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 :(

            From day to day it will be more and more such stores. Finally, they will remain only part of the happy memories of childhood…. pity indeed….
