This takes me back to my childhood when collecting trading cards that used to come with bubble-gum, and/or a tube of white glue for sticking the card into an album depending on what I was collecting at the time. The hope and the passion of buying yet more packets desperate for the missing card to be enclosed gave a sense of excitement you folk must be feeling when another Mithril drops into place and a gap is filled.
I’m not in the hunt for missing Mithrils, but it is good to see a member filling gaps in their collections
talking about that… some research MAY have lead me to a collector with one of the prototypes I am looking for…
I fear alas… it will be only a matter of money… and I don’t think I’ll be able to get my hands on it
too bad… but nothing is played yet…
it may takes months of negociations… hard negociations…. but well it’s always about big money now… alasddaines wrote:imisel wrote:shadyt wrote:I hope that everyone got something that they wanted at Chris’s auction today.

What a Nice Words you have said, make me smile
Well, I feeling at this moment like when I was younger… Basically, along my life I’ve collected a lot of this (stamps, comics, trading-cards…) but Mithril miniatures is the oldest (not the longest, I have tons of comics around here, but with no doubt the most valuable) collection I have (I started it, if I remember well, late in 1992). Coming back on last two years to collect them it’s giving me great joy! Almost other collections, I’m selling most of them (well, not books or some comics that are very special for me), but I’m almost sure that I never give up of this magnificent items.

it is a matter of… attic… as master Milo is familiar with treasures one can find in attics…. even C.T has an attic and makes some discoveries he did not remember he had…
that explains the .. once again not so unique …. dwar of waw… and the MX which, as the first MX to be released, may have had several castings and maybe the definition rules that were set for the MX range did not apply to THIS one because it was already created, casted, and test-casted…
now that’s only my theory, but you all know that in order to TEST the casting capacities done by MITHRIL, CT has always made his OWN test castings with his own test material for casting (that he uses for non-mithril releases) this allows him to validate the fact one of his creation won’t have casting problem PRIOR to sending it to Ireland to be “casted on spin moulds” by MITHRIL and Dan-Joe…
I must confess that it has NOT ALWAYS been like that… CT used to work in Ireland in Macroom , many years ago and could work hand in hand, on a day to day basis with the mithril staff… but for more than ten years now, CT lives in England.. London and he works alone… and tests everything, before sending his work into production to Macroom…
Great aclaration, Gildor, thanks a lot …. I always though that Chris does the tests directly on Macroom factory.
Testing all about his minis at home before sending gives me another proof of the profesionality of The Man
