Hopefully dear Innkeeper.

You can have a pint of scrumpy, Master Tree. I’ll have a pint of grumpy.

Swan isn’t cooked here, Mster M. – the damn things are too large to fit in the oven.

I’m sure this is on THAT company’s web site, but this link was on TheOneRing site

Not sure if it should be posted here or in the Movie thread, but anyhow!

Yes, saw all the latest pre-orders on the GW website earlier today when I was doing a Desolation of Smaug Internet trawl. As you know, I have chums who work there, and I’m usually prepared to acknowledge that the company can produce nice figures when they put their minds to it, but alas, this isn’t one of those occasions. The barrelled Dwarves are amusing, but the rest of the figures are by and large very poor – the Elf guards look as if their heads have been sat on (take a look at the GW website and you’ll see what I mean). The only figure I may buy is Thranduil, whose ethereal pose rather appeals to me.

I note, by the way, that the GW figures include a “Thrain the broken”, so clearly the movie is going to show us Gandalf’s encounter with him in Dol Guldur back in the past.

alas … Master Ddaines that will support me bad dreams tonight well … rhuôm … so let me thank you very much for that …
er … sorry … Master Barliman, what is that “Grumpy” you prefer? … huom is it a rare Breeish brew you always kept from us, or is it a new one that has not been fermented well? … huomm … and what about the price for a bowl of that? …

Grumpy? I have barrels and barrels of it, Masster Tree, which you can share with me if it’s to your liking. It’s also a good name for a Dwarf, I’m told.

Hi Master Ent and thanks a lot, that’s exactly what I need today for 2nd breakfast (I know, only 2nd…)

I´d liked to paint those miniatures produced by mithril.

But mithril doesn´ t produce any miniatures relating to the big film event this winter. 😮

Mithril had plans to release a new Hobbit box set with ten characters, this would seem the best time to release it, before Christmas and during the release of the 2nd movie. I have not heard any update about what happened to the plan.

Good point. I’d forgotten alll about that. I suspect Mithril have as well.

Certainly they do. Typical for a miniature-factory who doesn´t want to sell miniatures . . .

During my visit at the factory, we discussed that point. The Hobbit movie will not increase Mithril sells, people wants to find out characters as in the movie, not PA and CT interpretation of Tolkien work. So GW and other NewLine cinema patents will benefit from it 😡

I am not satisfied with this answer.
The Arkenstone vignette is the only example of releasing Hobbit-film-or-not-related miniatures.
There could be many others, though it is known that these film-events will start not only since four months.
( . . . hey Lars, look at this really big wave . . . let´s sail on it . . . )

Meanwhiling I feel a bit tired about those “problems”.

Useless discussion about mithril selling policy… again… unfortunately we would not have new hobbit figures on market soon… also new GF figures and probably Christmas figure this year… necromancer’s tower is also on waiting list… this was poor year for Mithril figurines market…..

huoommm … I’m glad to have a drink with you ,Master Thingol … hom … especially after you mentioned that you’ll pay for it …

huomm … nevertheless I would like to correct you just a little bit … er, that NT (Necomancer’s Tower) series will not be provided by Mithril but by Phaeton-Design, as you know … rhuomm … hom … as for Mithril, well, the company received the Earendur, the Tarannon Falastur and the new Christmas figure some time ago, as far as I know … huom … so far only one of those tiny-pictures of Earendur and the Christmas figure was reveiled … rhûom … right? … so what about Tarannon Falastur? ..
is it just because of a slight change of the figure that it is hidden? … rhuôoom …

I really do hope that the company did not change it’s strategy from casting miniatures to hatching them, as this time of year in those areas wouldn’t be very much appropriate to do so … huomm … anyway … cheers, mefriend ….
