            mmhh gentlemen, i think the pony would not be a correct place to reveal such matters…. as I said earlier it is a public place and anybody , be he member or not could read it… Maybe we could use one of the other forums which are only open to authenticated and trusty users to reveal such info… this way, it would be secure..

                Sorry, I didn’t think about that. I agree, we should talk about things like this somewhere else.

                  Sadly, it wouldn’t matter where it came up for discussion, I still wouldn’t be able to say any more about the new ranges until The Man authorised it. I was hoping that merely knowing new ranges are coming – and relatively soon – would be enough to cheer people up! Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea. Perhaps people would prefer it if I hadn’t said anything at all.

                  As for there only being four Big Squirrels, Master Gildor, there is only ONE of each work of art in the world, yet they are sold all the time. I’ve seen one-off GW prototypes on eBay on two separate occasions, so I can see no reason to believe that a Big Squirrel won’t come up for sale at some point. Indeed, it would be naive to assume otherwise! I’m not talking about next week, or even next year, but some time over the years ahead. Rare things are worth money: ergo, they change hands at times for bagfulls of groats, lucre, dosh, mazuma or whatever your personal preference may be.

                    I really like the story of this squirrel. I would also love to see it available for other collectors, perhaps with a different number to distinguish it. :)

                      Huoommm … that’s unlikely to be done, Master Protozeus.
                      … and what for? … just another squirrely animal … rhuoommm … I’d suggest you better keep focused on my Christmas riddle, as that last question will be put there tonight … huoomm … early in December I promised … but can’t haste everything …. rhuuoomm, you know … hom

                        cheers to my 800 entries ….. rhuooommm

                          Yes indeedy, Master Tree.

                          Incidentally, is anyone else finding Mithril’s mailing department a bit slow at the moment? I placed an order for some Fellowship figures and DA dudes 18 days ago and still haven’t got it. From the amount of money they charge for postage these days I was expecting a man in a helicopter to deliver it the very next day…

                            Huooommmm …. they seem to be quite busy at the moment as I’ve heard … rhuoomm … I’m also waiting for some of that tiny metal things to arrive … huoommm … but why haste everything? … huoommm … what do you mean with 18 days I wonder … what are 18 in a hundred or a million? … rhuoommm …. you see, it all depends, so to say …. huoomm ….
                            ahem … sorry, Master Barliman, but where to put those thoroughly-cleaned doormats ? … ahh, I see … next to the door over there …. now I do understand why those ragged furs are called door-mates …. rhuooommm, yes …. over here … come on, leave that snarling, mate … huoom … alas … as for the man in the helicopter I think he still tries to feed the machine with postage charges … rhuoommm … I think some fuel would do better … rhuoommmhom ….
                            oh, just before I leave, what do you think of the Dark-Leave? …. Morlass …. môr (or) less? ….

                              I don’t think of it at all… you’re becoming more and more like my friend Gandalf – always talking in riddles.

                              As for the number of days being of no import, they are when you need to send something on to someone in time to arrive for Yuletide. As it is, I don’t think I’m going to catch the final mailing date. Shame. Someone is likely to be disappointed, I fear.

                                Rhhuoommm … jule you mentioned, Master Barliman? … seems to be a word those people in the North do use … huoommm … hej, protar (inte: talar) du Swenska? Sâ [this d****d sign should read an “o” above that vocal …alas …huoomm] …. tar mej fan … I give up … mycke lycka för Barliman … rhuoomm … some words I still can recall …
                                Well, I’m not talking in riddles, just trying to cope with that weird order on that keyboard here …
                                rhhooommm … hommmm … what a name … there’s no key in that board ….. unless ……
                                ….. alas …. none, of course …
                                but what is a “final mailing date”? And why are you afraid? …. rhuoommm … you seem to be in a hurry, Master Barliman, …. hom … so why not “finally outdating the mail”? … rhuommm ….
                                oh, by the by, I didn’t know that Gandalf’s a friend of yours … at least he didn’t tell me, though we once considered to have the ‘Pony’ in Bree as a meeting place for …. well, you know … hom.

                                  Not for drinking water, that’s for sure. Gandalf has a soft spot for both the amber nectar and scrumpy.

                                  And what a multi-lingual tree you are. I assume you have friends amongst the northern birches and firs?

                                  Now I must go away and put on my thinking cap. I still haven’t come up with any worthwhile ideas for the Dec/Jan Fellowship polls – well, none that don’t involve horses. I hope the ban on mounted figures will end soon…

                                    Things are slow Barli, I ordered the Gandalf figure and DA foot dude and had to send Mary Ann a chaser email. I was informed that my shipment was posted the day of her reply (which was about 10 days after the order was made).

                                    I’ve just ordered Sharkey as well seeing as the number is quite low, but who know’s when he will finally shuffle into town :). I ordered this figure in haste due as I said to the low number (just in case he sells out), but I am a bit peeved that there does not appear to be a grey primed version to buy (unless someone else knows differently), so I guess I will have to ask Mithril just in case they can send it in this form.

                                    I too need to think up something as well, I should have written down:D all the ideas I have has in the past.

                                    Anyhow, time for a drink, do you have any Mulled wine Barli?

                                      Huoommm … alas, Master Ddaines, 200 is not a number to hurry …. and yes, Mrs Mary Anne seems to be busy … so why haste her? … and … well, why does Master Barliman puts on his ‘thinking cap’ whenever he leaves this room … rhuoommm … sometimes he seems to be a bit busy and confused … I don’t know any northern bitches and furs … rhuoommm … sorry I’m in need of that ‘thinking cup’ myself ….

                                        You certainly are. I think you may have been sipping too much…er, water.

                                            Perhaps it’s the spiked punch at all of those holiday office parties. I don’t have any recent direct experience of this, you understand…
