said the Master tree, walked out and slammed the door….

Just at the time I walked in through the back door…

Bloddy quiet in here. Did someone die? Or even worse…. Barli ran out of scrumpy?

I have to check the tap…. Oh no enough in there!
Well, I’ll have a sit down and talk to myself then! Cheers! Cheers to you too!

RRRhuuuoooommmm … is it a habit of yours, Master Caster, to call in here walking through the back door checking Master Barliman’s supply of liquids by tasting it once you’re sure that no one’s watching you ? …. huoommm …
hom …. so I might help myself with a bowl of that clear clean water … rhuoommm … well, Master hsf62, we recently talked about those tiny metal-things ….. huoomm … not the coiny ones our barkeep prefers … huoommmm … as for the birds …. huoommm … three there are showing poses of a starting falcon …. methinks … rhuoommm … first step is with the M84-Radagast (telling the bird where to fly to) …. huoommm …. the LR3-Radagast reassures if the bird got it right where to fly to lifting his left arm to let the creature know that it should start moving…huoommm … with the Sagath animist, some people call M18, the bird starts flapping away …. rhuoommm … that’s all about birds I know made by The Man … rhuoommm … except those eagles, of course …. hom

hoommm … meanwhile I was considering to let my son fly one of those Imrahil-variants on Ebay … huoomm … he suggested that … hom … it might give an idea about the price to be achieved for such metal-things …. rhuoomm … I know that Master Gildor and Master Zoetrop try to keep record about such matters … rhuoommm … but I have not decided yet … as I first wanted to ask here in the place where important matters are being discussed in the absence of audience or regulars … that’s what you complain about, Master Barliman, whenever you rightiously critisize those people not taking part in the choice on GF-polling … huoomm … hom!

… how to ent that sentence … ?

Mae govannen master Ent,

would be mice to get one of those variants, even if I did not receive my “normal” Imrahil-MX. As I said, one of the best figures together with Halbarad Dunadan!!

I am about the place, y’know. It’s just that with all these extra parlours and rooms I’m a deal more rushed about than I used to be. If you need me just ring the bell and holler! And as you say, it is quiet in here at the moment, which is why I’m in here a little less often myself. I think the plain truth is that there’s very little news at the moment – unless the Tree has any rumours he can offer up?

Huoommm … thanks for the compliment, Master Estel. Yes indeed, that horsed ranger with the banner unfolded, once suggested by the Mistress Wendy, still is a masterpiece. … huoommm …and will be … I always enjoyed the horse’s feet … those of a shire-horse … and to be honest, I cannot keep a smile from my face whenever I see those feet because of the pun …hommm …

Huoommm … don’t haste, Master Barliman. I can imagine what it means to take care of that many rooms …. huoommm … you must be extremely busy being absent here … huooommm…
pardon me, please …. but could you keep from wiping the bar with Knob’s cat, please? … huomm … that’s fine … thank you … rhuoomm…
Alas … rumours you want to have … or facts? … huommm … I dunno.
I tried to start a discussion here today about placing one of the 30 Imrahil-lads on Ebay … huommm … as my son did suggest … rhuoomm … unfortunately I gave him one …. rhuoomm.
Rhuooommmmmhuooommhom … hom … I wanted to receive your ideas about that …. huoommm … as I promised never to sell one of those lads … huoomm … do I break an oath in leaving him do as he suggested …. ? …. huuuomm … but you can be sure about the fact that the others will be kept for regulars here and other dear friends …. huoommm…..
so, all of you, just tell me what to do about this until the end of May … in case you feel concerened … hom.

I think you should keep to your orginal decision and not sell any of them. The only way to sell any of them would be if you needed money, but I think that you don’t. Now what your son does with his copy, well that is his decision, but if it goes on ebay then there will be a lot of people wondering where did this one come from and are their more of them.
I say don’t do it!

“Curiosity Killed the cat” as we say – if you don’t let him do it Master Ent you will always wonder just how much one may have sold for, allowing that what you give freely as a gift elsewhere will be kept as such and not ebayed!

Perhaps though it would be wise to wait until you have parted with the others in case listing too early on ebay gives a false indication of its true value.

Look at it as doing some market research for the good of the MMP database and not as an ‘oath-breaker’ as you do not want to be living in a twilight world waiting for the next King of Gondor to come along and release you from your oath :rolleyes:.

While I’m in here though I’d best top up on some scrumpy please Barli as I’ve had a hard day in the garden as well as a stressful bid on ebay for a Balrog which I picked up for less than £5 (I was the only bidder, that’s what was so stressful) a conversion is on the cards methinks once I get my little room back!

Well it’s a hot bath and some good shire grub for me – Jacket Taters with some of Gollum’s favourite fisssshhhes in it.

thank you for that comment, jd. that’s exactly how I just feel about this matter. I can keep him from doing so, we’re a good match … and as for the queries I received about that figure, because Master O’Brian published it (without letting me know) was more than you can imagine …. and that was only broadcasted by Mithril – not on Ebay. rhuuoommmm …. hommmm

as I did a lot of gardening, too, today, Master Ddaines, together with my cat and my wife … rhuoomm … meseems you’re right about certain things … huoommm … though I’m not doing any kind of ‘market research’ for the good of any (as I’m not an expert in these matters) I do appreciate and will consider your advice seriously ….. huoomm …hom …thank you for that. …
rhuoommm … but do you really see my fate as being to released from a next Gondorian king …
huooommmmm …. yes, top it up, please, Master Barliman …. huoomm.

Well, sometimes the acorn falls far from the tree, Master Ent…but more often than not it does not. As far as selling one goes, it would be interesting to watch. It is been my observation that eBay listings generally give an average value, but with something like this, which is likely to only come up once (if at all), the price paid would be a dubious reflection of value. It would have to come up more than once. Even so, if your son is determined to do this he should at least wait until all of the regular MX releases have sold out. Incidently, though my children are young, I will hope to prevail upon them as to the true value these Mithril, not as investments, but fine (miniature) works of art. Before I had children, my worst fear was that after I’d passed to the uttermost West, someone would sell my hard won collection for 25 USD at my “estate sale”! Of course, that could still happen!!!

I think you should do whatever you want with your figures, Master Tree, and not concern yourself with what anyone else thinks or does. If your son wants to sell his, then so be it. Why worry? Whatever he does, you haven’t broken any promises, and everyone you know will realise that. Entings are always going to do what they want to do, regardless of what their elders might wish…

Well, can any of you tell me where Nob is? I could use another ale; it goes so well with my smoke.

A gift given is just that.

I’ve been wondering where the scallywag is myself. He seems to have found somewhere new to hide that I haven’t discovered yet.
