THE TAPROOM 2

Sorry Barliman, wrong typo as I have been hasty again.

I meant MASTER of course:)

Huoommm … mind that Master Turambar called the new vignette a “Materpiece” … rhuoom … I’m about sure that not The Man’s mother sculpted that … rhuoomm … anyway, why always quarrel about some missing “s” … huoomm … as long as we understand each other … rhuûomm …

If you are still here I’ll join you – a package arrived today with a certain Beregond getting hammered by a troll, so I’ll celebrate its arrival (along with some other friends ).

Initial inspection is of a very nice set – the troll is smaller than some of the older troll releases . . .

You lucky man! You have this materpiece already . . . I´m just a jealous guy!

Well, concerning this Troll, maybe it is because it´s a mountain Troll and those are a bit smaller . . . :rolleyes:

Time for another “after midnight” – drink. I give you an invitation this time Master Barli, for this awesome suggestion!

. . .and Master David as well, he is around as I saw it . . .

Yes indeed, I was surprised it arrived so quick especially as I have an order placed mid March that has still not arrived yet (took advantage of the offfer that was on).

Re the Troll, yes he is proportionately smaller than the older troll sculpts, but this is not a critisism just an observation so that folk are aware , but the detail looks to be very good (I haven’t sprayed it yet to see properly).

Re delayed shipments, I know that a lot of members here have experienced delays and it was interesting to note that I was sent an invoice along with a tracking number (which didn’t register with ant.post) so I assumed the order had been despatched – this was my first order back in March.

I did email Joan at Mithril as it was a long delay and nothing had arriived, who told me that she had been off sick and was catching up with orders.

When Beregond arrived and still no sign of my previous order I emailed again and this time was informed that one of the figures ordered (Gandalf and The Witch King) was being recasted and primered as they had run out and my order would be despatched next week.

It was interesting to see that receiving an invoice does not necessarily mean an order has been despatched, and it would appear that Mithril will cast up older GF figures which makes me wonder if Bard and the thrush which if memory serves was out of stock has been recast yet.

It does pay to send chase up emails to find out what is going on with orders.

Anyhow, I hope the Troll and Beregond starts arriving all over Europe as it is every bit as good as the photos .

Thank you once again for the drink Master Archer

well I certainly have not received invoice yet so I am not surprised and I have time
Still I am curious about odd aspects as always : considering the high number of pieces for this vignette, in what king of packaging/blister did you receive it? Did Mithril manage to put all the pieces together in those small plastic universal blister? or did they used a blue box? (christmas) or old big red card blister with appropriate size ?
just curious you know

It was in a clear blister pack Gildor

HA!
Just met the post-woman!
And I can say: all expectations are fulfilled!!!!

PS: a bit small that Troll . . . though richly detailed.

Huuoommm … now that doesn’t sound good … huom … not good at all … rhuoommm … though you don’t have to stress that you found the “s” on your keyboard, Master Turambar … nurhûomhu^mm .. ~ hoommm … no harm intended …

Well, after a certain look and after assembling and putting the figures on the cork I recognized,
that there is only Beregond, Pippin and the Troll.
That means, this kneeing soldier is missing . . .

Is your edition complete, Ma-S-ter David?

I hate this…. and to me this was twice happened twice (to receive figure with missing parts) But Joan was always sent me back or figure or only a part of the figure…. I expect my parcel soon and I hope my kneeling soldier will be there….

I have decided not to enter the painting competition. When I start painting again, it will be Dunlendings.
