I was hoping on Eomer, but it seems almost everyone loves those trolls! Oh well, maybe next time.

On another note, does anyone know what M-series is after the Easterlings? Just curious.
Any rumors Master Tree?

It seems to be another M-series that will leave prior to the easterlings.:rolleyes:
Michael discussed in the forum ….

Do you remember where in the forum that Michael talked about that? Thanks for responding to my question erchamion.

Well. Master Marshal, Eomer seems likely to feature in round two of the voting after all, along with Boromir and Big Tom. Tom’s lead didn’t grow any more after his initial surge, so perhaps his support isn’t as widespread as might have first appeared. But who knows what way things will turn when the scattered votes from round one are redistributed in the last charge for the finishing line?

As regards your enquiry about M ranges, I don’t remember another M range being due before the Easterlings, but then I don’t remember a lot of things these days… so I shall also be interested to hear what this reference by Michael was about (I haven’t got time to search for it myself at the moment).

A voice from a dark corner says “Is it rumours you want, Master Marshal? Well, in my travels last year between Bree and Rivendell, I heard rumours of several strange beings. But they were always describe as from a distance. I myself caught a glimps or two; but could not make them out clearly. Alas, if only I had the far-sight of the elves.”

Mae govannen, my friends,

seems that there are more Elf-friends out there. :rolleyes:I cannot remember, that we had many Elves in the GF other than Cirdan and Gil-Galad, 2 Sindarin Elves and some of those smiths.
I wished, we could have on of those great figures C.T. has designed in the past, like the range “Elvenking’s hall” or “Lothlorien”. These were the Elves influencing my vision of those people mostly. The newer versions of the Elves did not satisfy me much, so there is some hope?

Well we had Thranduil, we also had his standard bearer, Celebrimbor (fighting Annatar), the noldo smith who made Anduril, and as you mentionned Gil-Galad at Gorgoroth and Cirdan at the Grey Havens. that makes three Sindar, and three Noldor.

“I have issues with another mounted heavy release so quickly after the Knights of Dol Amroth. I would perfer to have a intermediate release that would be less complex to produce. The Knights were delayed due to the complexity of the poses causing difficulty with our spin moulds.

We might therefore release a different type of release (without horses) first then we can go back to the Easterlings. “

That’s Micheals post from today regarding the Easterlings, but I suppose on the bright side it means that there will be something else to look forward to.

Looking at Micheal’s wording does he have some say over what is released I wonder? No problem, just curious, I always thought it was Chris and Lars.

It’s also pretty clear from Michael’s phraseology that the proposed ‘different type of release (without horses)’ is at this moment very hypothetical, which rather suggests that any such range is as yet incomplete, if it has been begun at all.

Is it possible that the strangers the Man in the Dark saw from a distance were some of the stray elements of unreleased ranges known to have been worked on over the years but never released (‘Wilderland’, for instance)? It will be interesting to learn in due course.

I know of a range that The Man is thinking of doing soon, but not necessarily ‘next’, but it’s far too early to start a rumour about it, and things may change. It certainly doesn’t include any horses.

You’re a big tease, Barli! Well, I don’t know how big you are (other than bigger than Nob), but you’re definitely a tease. Either way, we’ll have to await with bated breath for what comes next. Speaking of which, it looks like the first round winner is struggling a bit in the final – a bit like our 100 metre mens swimmer at the Olympics, Eamon Sullivan, who broke the world record (which still stands) in the semi-final, but came second in the medal race.

You shouldn’t use the s–mm–g word in here, Master Axe, or you’ll upset my smaller customers, who have an aversion to w—r, as you’ll recall. As for the teasing, the problem is that The Man tells some of us various things at various times (and not always the same things or at the same time!) but then asks us not to tell anyone. Now that’s what I call teasing.

Indeed.

Put out the Rhudaur and the Wilderland figures and ye all can have my left kidney.

And my firstborn.*

Possibly even my secondborn.**

* Free babysitting and child rearing by Mithril? Sounds good.
** Little buggers would take up useful painting time.

Sorry Barli, please tell your smaller customers that no offence was meant . And that definitely sounds like The Man is a tease and a half (in a good way – anticipation is half the fun)!

Well, it has been a while since their was a commotion in here! Just sit back in one of those corners and take it all in. I am just sitting at the end of the bar listening. I would also like another scrumpy for myself as well.

Commotions are good for trade – debating is thirsty work.

I see that Eomer is still well ahead in the poll at the moment (shame about Eomer, Master Marshal, but I’m sure he’ll get another chance).

By the way, has anyone received their Dol Amroth dudes yet?

Huuoommmrhuoommm … seems to be some lad-brokes here recently … rhuoomm … so no one around here takes my guess about the latest change in the Companies strategy of providing and organizing some next releases seriously …. rhuooomm … none to deal with my rumours around here … huoommm … alas … Master Barliman, may I have a topped up bowl of that clear clean honey-coloured watery liquid, please? …. rhuomm …. huoomm … topped up I said, sorry.

Ahh … huoomm … by the by, I don’t worry about that troll … rhuoomm … Thomas it was, wasn’t it … rhuoomm … so I might wager a coiny thing on him being produced …. rhuoomm …
Are there more rumours around ? ….. Huoommmm, or even facts? …. hom …
“Cheers” is the word you use to drown any bowl of liquid? …. rhuoomm … so, Cheers !

Has anyone noticed how many people are signing up on here? It seems weird that their is a new one almost everyday lately. Are these real people or is someone just putting a different user name each time. I say this because some of the user names don’t make any sense, like they are just typing something at random. Just my two cents.

Sorry, Master Tree, what is it we were supposed to guess from your recent remarks about upcoming releases? It may be my ale-addled brain, but I couldn’t see enough information in there to tell me more than you”d already told us a while back. Or was there some further hint in there that I’ve entirely missed? Your clues are sometimes from the far side of cryptic, and solving them can take far more grey cells than I can make a claim to.

By the by, what’s a ‘lad-broke’? I assume this is an Entish word…it’s certainly not in my Westron dictionary.

And finally, you’re right, Master Marshal, there do indeed seem to be many new members on the user list, though I’ve seen none of them here in the Pony, and none have left any messages yet. But they’ll be most welcome when they show themselves.

I just looked at the member list, indeed there are lots of new members that’s really cool..

But with fame come problems too.. Among the list I noticed some “spamming” or “sex ads” bots or bad nicknames. I erases them. If we are not vigilent, there could be intrusions on this forum from very very unwelcomes peoples, therefore if the number of these “bad persons” increase, I’ll strenghten the security for registration
