yes but the sticker is not authentic it is hand written on a neutral background
still that’s quite a good find
April 23, 2013 at 2:09 pm #27595it’s not something that interest me a lot but this seller has often rare figures!
the shipping cost is “a little” expensive but acceptable from Australia, I suppose?I’ve just bought him[mith]m350[/mith] “Gandalf and the hobbits children” for 40€ (Postage Include) : it was the last “hobbit” relative figure that was missing in my collection.
A lot of money, but like he’s very hard to find, I didn’t want to have regrets !April 23, 2013 at 3:54 pm #27601Hmmm … I would like to support Master Gildor’s doubts about the origin of that figure as being one of the first of the antique-finished MA1 Galadriels. And it’s not only because of that hand-written sticker. What we see is an empty red box and a somehow antiqued version of the MA1 (I cannot see more as it is reveiled by the picture on Ebay). The original top of the red box clearly reads : “The Mithril Fellowship Special Figure Collection” – imprinted in silver in the top of the box. Also the place for the original sticker is in shape underlined in silver, as to give a frame to the sticker. That sticker clearly reads (being printed, not hand-written) Mithril Fellowship MA1 “Galadriel”.
By now you, who read carefully, might be surprised that the word “fellowship” was used then in 1992, before Mithril started its Fellowship so many years later, as we know it now. So this is about a third matter why I doubt.
Unfortunately there is no small “leaflet” which was added within the original box, as it was provided with the Galadriel MA1 promotion-figures. On that small leaflet you will find the copyright-sign and the additional note reading “Copyright Tolkien Enterprises 1992.
Sorry, I do not want to cause trouble, but just provide information. – Of course I can prove what I said by providing pictures as I’m not sure if Master Gildor had placed them on his archive once.April 23, 2013 at 4:13 pm #27603Alas, I just checked, sorry, Master Gildor. Of course you placed two pictures in your database. So that should be enough to prove my previous statements about Antique-finished-Galadriel-MA 1. – If need be, I could provide more, of course (in case I haven’t done that already in some of my threads in that “Mathom House”).

Master “Eye of a hawk”…..
April 23, 2013 at 4:40 pm #27605…. and wise Master tree… hoummmmm
April 23, 2013 at 5:00 pm #27606That’s what we’re here for, Master Thingol. Just to watch out.
April 23, 2013 at 7:03 pm #27607still if I remember well “belsec” seller is a serious one so I assume it is indeed a good deal. It reminds me that, I don’t think to remember that my MA1 has any leaflet coming along with it… still my MA1 (the primed one, not the antique one) did come in the red box, with the silver plate with printed sticker on it, but no leaflet inside… it was the French Mithril Fellowship from PA France, the packaging may have been different
April 23, 2013 at 7:06 pm #27609By the way, I did provide more pics of the Lady in several threads, as I already guessed. If you’re interested you might first have a look inside the “Mathom House of Michael Delving”. There’s an old thread called “Galadriels”.
Another link can be found over there in the Prancing Pony. There’s a thread called ” The Travelling Elrond”. There are some pics of our Travelling Elrond meeting that Lady on February 25 in 2012. I just took those pics trying to provide some humour.
I mention this here just to remind you that there you might find some pics that are a bit more larger than those provided in the database.
Please forgive me to refer to that, and I do not intend to boast. Just believe me, that I still do enjoy this.April 23, 2013 at 7:34 pm #27611I really did not want to criticize or even doubt the seller, Master Gildor. Not at all. You just reminded me that in those early days of trying to merchandise Mithril-figures apart from Prince August, there were some promotional figures casted. They were given away for free to retailers in those days. So, PA-France might not have been provided without such a leaflet inside the box. But, to be honest. I do not know. – I simply only can refer to what I see, know and own and from whom I did receive it.

May 7, 2013 at 8:27 pm #27756. . . but what about the picture????
Isn´t the picture a bit . . . yes what?!
How ever. Good luck in bidding- whoever bid . . .May 15, 2013 at 6:23 pm #27815Dear Fellows,
If someone might be interested, please be informed that MX436, MX456 & MX463 are being auctioned on EBay.
I guess price is quite expensive but it might be interesting for someone who missed the chance to buy them when available.

May 16, 2013 at 7:40 am #27817I have a MIB MX436 for sell, if someone interested… I can sell far more cheap than this.
May 16, 2013 at 5:23 pm #27818Xenophille’s Aragorn sold for about £280
May 16, 2013 at 6:20 pm #27819well it seems this drastically reduces the estimated price of this rarity thanks to the economical crisis…
May 16, 2013 at 7:19 pm #27820Would the final selling price have anything to do with the slight modifications?
May 16, 2013 at 7:40 pm #27822Also true
May 17, 2013 at 8:43 am #27827Huge lot with 51 MIB miniatures in U.K:
