It does make you wonder though, if the prices were nearer to this offer all of the time, you would think that Mithril would have nice empty shelves and at least some coiny things in their treasuries instead of lots of metal things on the shelf, and not so many coiny things in the treasuries.

But what do I know of business

Completely agree with you David, it may be better to sell more figures is worth cheaper, that not a lot at a high price, quantity at a reasonable price in times of crisis is certainly a better thing.

But like you, I’m not a specialist business. It may only be my purse talking

Anyway, I also benefited from this memorable day to give me some figures identified long time ago.

As Master Dave says, it would seem to make more sense to sell produtcs at a more reasonable price than have them just sit on the shelf for years on end.

Dave adds that he bought some MS figures that he hadn’t intended to buy, and so did I – I bought two that I’d probably never have bought at their usual prices. Indeed, they were released several years ago, and I never felt that I could justify the cost – until now.

Sadly, there are some expensive figures that I still find too expensive even at half-price!

Had I had the money I would also have grabbed the Helm’s Deep 2 set, but that’s for another special offer

I bought 2 MS + a douzen regulars I do not have in MINT condition.
For sure, withhout selling price like this, I would have kept my collection as is.
Now, some primed minis will improve my glass cabinet shelves 😎

I just discovered a painter called Robin Eley whose artwork consists in paiting reality, as if paints were pictures taken by a camera. Have a look, this is incredible:

Proud painter, master Milo! His mastery of the “reflections” is very good and his work is very realistic. If you would like to paint realistic-military, I can advise you another wonderful Spanish painter. His Napoleonic serie has me excited ….

I like the technique Master Ent, and the fact that I can learn from him how to have transparent effects with paintings
I don’t care about nude ladies in plastic.:lol:

Your links are fantastic, Master erchamion!
Very much pleased to watch at these archtectural paintings.
Remind me on “matte-paintings” which I do like very much.

I think I long for a very strong coffee. Is it possible to have one, Master Barliman?
My headache returns and become stronger and stronger . . .

I didn’t know elves could suffer from headache. Maybe due to dwarves singing around his house ? :rolleyes:

More likely to be due to drinking too much scrumpy.

Three thick thrushes thruggle through a thick thicket.

May I have another pint of scrumpy please, Master Barliman?
