One day someone will have to explain to me what “Lesinas” actually are – I know that they’re ICE nonsense, but curiosity dictates that I ask!

the correct spelling is lešina (singular) / lešinas (plural) -> (lae-shee-nah) … it’s croatian and means “carcass,” “cadaver” and even “lich,” apparently. “razarač” means “devastator,” “destroyer.” i had mentioned this curious link to croatian before.

well Lesinas or Lesinavi or special ghouls from the “extended tolkien universe” in the desert of Harad.

Gavin did not make an entry in the court of Ardor for them maybe I’ll ask if he can provide some more info

Thanks, fellows. It’s nice to know these things, even if they haven’t got anything to do with Tolkien.

M16 went for a measly £63 , I wonder what it would have reached if the seller had been prepared to sell worldwide?

It wasn’t me by the way, but I did watch the last minute of the auction in anticipation of a rush of bids…. that didn’t happen.

Milo, whats bad about selling parts of a collection if the focus changes? It gives new collectors the chance to complete their collection. Not a bad thing at all!

The sword of m16 is not unique to her but can be fond on other figures as well and if needed easy to recast.

as far as I can tell you are wrong mornedhel, the M16 sword has some specificity that are not found in any other figurine. you can see that in the pictures on the database now, and Holger or Theobald could correct me if I’m wrong… this sword is INDEEd unique in the whole mithril range…

That’s also why an incomplete M16 is worth a LOT LESS than a complete one… the genuine sword is almost rarer than the figurine itself…

True, still, the less collector exist, the less mithril could survive….
