Well, I like to read that you’re satisfied with the vignette … I am not.
Maybe you can imagine that it took some time and some coiny things to have the “unexpected Party” being produced.
I think Master Tubb did a brilliant job in sculpting the ideas of the first chapter.
So, what is it that I’m not satisfied with?
Until today I’ve only be able to witness the vignette on my screen … I have not got any of them until now – though we know that there are some among us who have received a box.
Sorry, but this was my last MX … as I am a bit annoyed.

Truly, I’m sorry Master Theobald.
The truth is that Mithril should have taken better care of the person who made possible this MX ….
A lack of “delicacy” I would say …..

Theo, I am a little confused. Is it the figures themselves that disappoint you? Or the time of shipping? I am surprised that you did not receive a package first ahead of the rest of us. This does not seem right that you are still waiting and I would understand if that frustrates you.

Perhaps the cost also concerns you. Here in the US 180e is expensive, but I intend to buy two UP sets as I want one to give to a friend who will paint the other one for me to display. For the number of figures, I think the cost is not that bad.

I have recently ordered other figures, including the female assassin, and was told by a woman named Helen that the regular dispatch person was on leave due to a death in the family. It seems that she is new to the dispatch job and perhaps not getting much help. I suppose that Mithril, like many companies in this economy, has reduced their staff. It seems that Chris is often left to apologize for the way the company is operated.

May I intervene . . .
I think it is unacceptable, taht Master Theobald hasn´t received anything. Annoying is a very moderate expression . . .
It should be for sure that you have received “your” edition already, something like a “first casting” as Master TWrich pointed out.
Very disappointing this situation.
Sometimes it hurts more if peaople tell what ever NOT-happened. Take it as a real care from my heart, Master Tree and I mean this serious!

PS: at this moment I feel a little bit relieved of not having an order yet . . .

I think the man in the dark has made some very probable assessments on the current situation with Mithril; think of them (normally) as a friendly, but very small and slightly chaotic “startup” company inside of a huge stuffed warehouse full (!) of fantastic Mithril piles, you cannot turn without fearing to drop something; now if one of the main dispatch organizers leaves for some time, you can imagine the resulting chaos, even though I think Helen started to and finally will cope with it some day. But yes, their boss should have remembered to send it first to Master Theobald …

Thank you for the comments. Well, maybe I was a bit too hasty in telling you this, but on the other hand I wanted to inform you about this. One of the reasons for that is, that e.g. Master Gildor for a while is awaiting details about the extra-castings to complete his database. But how can I help if I don’t have the vignettes? Then some vignettes should have been given to the three winners of my last Christmas-riddle. I cannot do that, as I don’t have them. So, sorry for that, Gildor, Erchamion and Regalrick. By now I am in a situation to have to excuse for something I’m not responsible for.
To point out another matter clearly: I did not complain about Helen, who, as I know for sure, does her very best to cope with the situation.
But why worry? I think there are more serious matters in life, aren’t there?

No need for an apology Master Theobald.I have waited a lifetime so far for such a magnificent creation so a few more months are fine.Seems odd to mention to an Ent there is no need to haste but thank you ever so much for all your efforts to bring this vignette to existence.

I hope this will not rub salt in the wounds, but I now have two UP vignettes, but only ordered one! (or at least my account seems to indicate I have only paid for one).

I have emailed Helen Desmond in Despatch at Mithril to resolve the issue, i.e. send it back to Mithril or, with a buyers permission forward it direct to the buyer to perhaps save on shipping.

This arrived last week totally by surprise, but to date I have not had a response from Helen as to the best way to proceed.

It was a ‘nice’ surprise, but this UP needs to find its rightfull owner as at the end of the day this is Theobalds investment and a ‘lost’ UP is money not going to the right person.

I shall give Helen a couple of days next week to see if she responds before a reminder email, other than that I shall contact Micheal to see if he can sort it. I understand Helen is new to the job so may have made an innocent mistake.

As this is a company mistake I can’t deal direct with sending it on unless Mithril OK it, so no bidders please

Today I received apologies and explanations from Master Lars. So obviously something (or two or three things) went wrong. So, I’ll just have to wait some more time to receive some figures. But you know, wait I can. So I’ll see …

i hope master Edman knows how to apologize kindly and offered you something to “compensate” those “things that went wrong”.. that would be fair for you

He apologized kindly and explained in detail several things that went wrong. That’s ok, I think. I wouldn’t ask for any kind of “compensation”, Master Gildor. But I know that he reacted as he received a phone-call from The Man about this matter this morning. So that’s it. I’m not at all interested in causing trouble and I do not like to broadcast details here.
Let’s turn to more positive things … somewhere in the Prancing Pony

Now I need some help from those who already received the MX-blue box. How many tables are in there? Could you let me know, please?

So at least that seems to be ok. – I just thought that the company sold all vignettes with a third table. Right then, the difference is not a major one.
Hey, what about your success in assembling that vignette? Takes some time, doesn’t it? I could provide some advice for doing it better than that advice you find in the leaflet of the ‘blue box’, as today I just coped assembling all those parts.
But let me please point out here that it’s not only craftsmanship you need for mould-making, it has to be an expert in those matters who is able to cast those tiny things in a spin-mould that perfectly, that in the end there is no problem to loose the parts from the sprews … excellent job.
