huoomm … and why? … rhuom … what do you think? … is it because of the price for the figures or because some suggestions did not find enough interest? … huomm … or a mixture of both? … huom … maybe there could be also a development that today the interest in miniatures in general has declined, but I dunno … hom …

A mixture of all of the above, perhaps. There certainly seems to be a gradual decline in the number of people who participate in both suggesting and voting. I confess that I haven’t made many suggestions myself in the past few months, but that’s simply because other people keep making suggestions that I’d have made myself if I’d got there first! But I always vote. What is noticeable is that a lot of the original members seem to have faded away – both from MMP and the Fellowship. Apathy, perhaps? Or real life taking priority over hobbies? I’m sure that’s happened to us all at some point in our lives.

huooommm … I see … and yes, I also did not make many suggestions myself in the recent past, but I also do take part in the voting-process each time … rhuoomm … I will keep on collecting those tiny metal-things though that also makes me a bit frustrated sometimes, because it has become clear that I will never have enough time to paint all of them properly … huoomm … except I manage to extend my lifetime a little bit … huom rhuom hom …

Well, here I am just returned from Oop North to celebrate a 3rd Birthday this week, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and find that I have missed The Tree’s own sprouting anniversary .

Many Happy Returns Master Tree, and may you have many more .

On the ebay front I am happy as I picked up The Prancing Pony M113 (Strider, Frodo & Sam) for £1.28 + P &P, and one of the seated card players for £3.29 + P & P.

My Council of Elrond moves a step closer

I see I am here with the Wandering Elf, come and join me, Gildor, for a glass of wine. I hope your wife is doing well with your precious treasures in her care. Please say hello to her.

Hope I didn’t bid against you for any Master SW (I didn’t bid on all of the PP figures)

Huoomm … so Master O’Brien just estimated the price for that new-and-marvellous vignette … rhuouôm … what I read is, that it’s about the price for the MX-UP … rhuooomm … that means, let me guess … 200 € max…. rhuomm … or, if wer’re lucky about 150 € … rhuoommm … as the vignette is not an MX and suchwise is not limited , I think it would be rather more 150, but nothing less … rhuom … gruuoommm … let me think … please …huoommm …
the new vignette has less figures than the good-old MX-UP … rhuuom, but those figures in the new vignette really cannot be compared with dwarves …. rhuoommm … my guess is …………………… between 160 and 200 coiny-things … huommmm

Which is a lot of coiny things.

I’ll buy you a pint if it’s less than €160.

One observation I’ve been meaning to make for a while, by the way, is that it would be nice if the figures could be sold separately, like all other M figures.

It was not me then Master SW as I only bid on two and won both – I don’t normally bid these days but these were ‘essentials’ to a Master Plan

huoomm … thank you for publishing that one, Mater Ddaines … grrrrrrruom … yes indeed, I would have also been annoyed by such mindless comments … including them grinning icons … huoommm … and I really do not appreciate such behavoiour in our Prancing Pony here … rhuoomm … as far as it might concern me … huomm … I will just stay here and comment a bit … GGGruôm … huoomm … Sam?Wise? … he’s not, maybe a living pun … gruuoomm … sorry … no harm intended … huomm … in case I’m in need of a lawyer, there’s a troll-lawyer I can rely upon …. rhuom ? … Carmeosis might be his name …. huomm … alas … huommm … I better go to bed now instead of quarrelling around here … huoomm … more better things to do tomorrow … gruoummm ….

Master Barliman, please, bring me a drink, something very strong.
My colleague lost his 8 years old son yesterday…

I am about to go to funeral and I do not know if I will be able to support this.
