Well, of course I just can confirm what you said Master Milo and Master Caster. Nice that you keep such a good pic of the variant’s parts, Master Holger.

If you don’t have any of them it’s hard to know what you have to look for…
Master mindx2 I just checked and forgive me, yes I got your mail!:rolleyes:

Master Ent, whenever I see a pic of a figure with the original parts attached and clearly visible I save them for future reverences. Best are always blisterpacks where all the parts are visible.

It’s nice to know you hold such figures in reverence, Master Holger. Saving them as a reference is also sensible.

Well, Master mindx2, I once provided some pics of that variant Imrahil In the “Mathom House – thread” here. You might just have a look and you’ll clearly see the difference. I think the sub-thread there is just called “MX-Imrahil”.

Duh, of course! Hate it when something is staring you right in the face and you just can’t see it! Now I feel stupid…

No one bid on either of them.

They must have considered the starting prices too high.

Er, well, I don’t think so, Master Barliman. – I don’t think it’s about the starting prices being too high. Or would you give away a rare figure for a threepence. – I still think that the general interest in Mithril-figures has been declining for some years by now.
So why should I give away money for something I’m not interested in? – Alas … queer that is.

Well, you may be right. But people are always looking for bargains on eBay,so if something is expensive to start with they probably just wait until it’s put tp at a lower starting price. It’s a matter of strategy. But as I say, you may be right – I notice there’s a whole lot of early Mithrils up for sale at the moment by a French seller, at what look like very low prices compared to what we were seeing a few years ago.

Its a good time to buy Mithril, but a bad time to sell them. Thats what it looks to me at this point in time.

More than 2500 mithrils were sold last year on ebay with average price decreasing very little (less than 1%).
I feel that it may be in between regarding thses 2 rarities. High starting price does not catch collectors’ soul, as Master Batliman said, and it may not be good time for selling, until all prior matters such as fear, despair are correctly fighted.

Ah, you’re referring to that idiot Trump?

Not only, there are bigger threats above us: ecologic disasters, wars, terror and corruption are real.

Current votes for Le Pen in France is a shame, but every democracy will have face their own,
And do not forget Brexit which, if not a threat for EU, is to become real pain for UK.
I already observed british aerospace companies not being consulted anymore in my domain…

Brexit (or as we call it round here ‘BreeExit’) was an insane idea from the outset, and I was shocked that more people voted for it than against (and that a third of people didn’t vote at all!). Yes. all the things you mention are demoralising and depressing, but Trump is the powermad idiot with a finger on The Button.

Hmm, this is a very depressing topic. Let’s talk about something else.

I see there’s a lady Ranger up for sale at the moment – £150 at present, but – as usual – no sword. What a surprise.
