Much better idea. That way I may actually make some money for a change. But welcome anyway to Master Halbard II. Hopefully he’ll pop into the Pony soon.

65 pounds is not much money for such rare thing as those dwarves are. We would see how much will Dominique asks for them on his eBay auction soon. I thing Master… something

oh I suppose he will ask something aroung 40€ for ONE figurine of the set (since he is used to sell them separatly)

that would make 160€ for the set , more than twice the original price

Yes, I want to welcome you as well, master HalbaradII.
Concerning our beloved dwarves I want to say that I payed 75€ for them. If I calculate the right way that means 18.75€ for each dwarf.
That is cheaper than a GF-miniature so far! The reason why I was VERY concentrate this time and I am still angry about last time, when I missed those axemen.
So, nothing to worry about, instead of Mr. D.
But, who cares, you don´t have to buy them for his price, simple as that. I surely won´t for 40€, but this price is still an assumption.
Although a quiet realistic assumption . . .

now I wonder how master Zoetrop could manage to generate statistics for the MW346 and MW347 in his next price list, for me to display it on the database…
those two entries are a bit … difficult to manage… we can calculate the total price of the MW half-orcs by doing the sum of all the prices C.Tubb sold them on ebay… and we can begin to calculate the same for the so-far-released dwarves… but.. if some of these were then sold by drizzt in any way, or by another, this will dramatically alter ONE single figurine of the whole set thus making the finding of the “average” price of such set… quite a headache…

but once again, I thought aloud and that’s not thoughts that should be heard in a taproom

another cider master barliman I’ll pay in pics as soon as I get leave to display any that I already possess

I see my procrastination has undone me again: there were very few suggestions this month and the tone of suggestions was somewhat…jaded.

Though Estel suggested Haldir, so I shall be voting for Haldir.

I confess, I didn’t suggest anything this month – I’ve been very very busy with ‘real life’, hence also my brief responses to Pony issues. I shall remain horribly preoccupied for the next couple of weeks too, for which I apologise in advance. But Nob knows how the spigots work, so he’ll be able to keep your tankards topped up.

*an exhausted elf enters the taverns, he feels totally tired, which is not seen often among elves…*

Now I could really use some refreshments… Nob, a double pint would you?

oh why am i so tired? well I spent the afternoon filling informations, postings lots of pictures here and there in something we, elves, call “database”…. renaming stuff, adding entries for prototypes in the database, beginning filling the “related figurines” sections thanks to master Axel listings! Cheers to master Axel… but enough for now

a drink is in order!

At once master Inglorion! here you go, will it be enough? I found it in the cellar…

*Nob opens a small cask of Cider from Dale – one of the best among Barliman Butterbur private stocks – and offers it entirely to the tired elf*

If you need anything, food, other drinks, room… company? I’ll be around!

*Nob returns to the kitchen, whistling*

Hmmm, schizophrenia now, is it, Master Elf…er, Nob…er, whoever? Or is this dual personality merely a cunning ploy to get yourself free drinks by imitating my midget bar-help?
