I hope it is a haunch of mutton, I think that was on the original suggestion.

I think that Tar -M is wearing sandles – I’m sure I can see toes sculpted – I’ll have to sort that out and make them shoes, but other than that a couple of very nice figures.

Have you seen that Mithril quite reduced the number of miniatures made? With Tar-Minastir and William has gone from producing 225 to 150. I suppose that all this will have its trade policy….:rolleyes:

It doesn’t really surprise me. I figured they were making 225 figures because they were meant to sell out and accrue value on the collector’s market (ala the MX figures). alas, a lot of the MS figures are obviously not selling too quickly. Even the wonderful Halbarad sold out because the mold broke.

So I think they are probably selling maybe 100-150 MS figures a release and then sitting around with dozens of unsold MS figures.

I personally think they should be on general release about a year after their MS release, possibly for a bit cheaper. Might shift them. So the Fellowship get to vote and have the rarer figures early, while the rest of the buying public can buy them later.

Master Barkeep!

I have just cast you eleven Prince August 32mm Elves. 7 Wood Elves and 4 High Elves. I am going to cast at least one more tommorrow, and possibly another three.

PM me a home address so I may mail you this somewhat belated gift.

Master Theobald informed me in email that he can’t reach MMP at the time being, he thought the site was down…
I’d like to know if people around here see this message by posting here I saw ddaines posting in another section so I assume he has no problem, neither am I indeed… strange thing. If someone from Germany could answer so that I know if there is a DNS problem with germany (sorry for the technical details in this thread)

Well, throughout the evening yesterday I could not access the page. Now I just connect and it seems that everything is correct.

ok then it may be a DNS refresh problem, not linked to the site itself but to its indexing throughout the international world wide web… everything should hopefully be solved soon if not yet

well yes it was a change in their server as I was informed… the DNS update worldwide takes sometimes and well, it seems it took one entire day to replicate throughout the World Wide Web… That should be fine now, no more worries

Master Butterbur please serve a drink to all those poor anxious fellows

(NB: Wendy, I think I beat you in terms of slowness of painting )

Hmm, well my painting speed is pretty low too.

Blew up the stove/cooker the other day – after spending three hours casting Prince August figures. I had a horror that maybe some metal had gotten stuck someplace and sparked the fire. But no, it was just a random fluke incident.

No more Prince August figure casting for a while. Well, not until Sunday when no one’s around. I need more Elf heads, after all.

My problem seems to be that my ‘subscriptions’ to the various rooms in the Pony keep failing, so that I don’t know when anybody has popped in! This particular difficulty seems to come and go, but I wasn’t notified of any of the above dozen or so posts! I shall have to get Nob to look into it…

I couldn’t get in for two days and asked Theo if he had the same problem, which he did. Then yesterday evening he emailed me that the site was up and I got in fine.

As for William’s left hand, I don’t remember the original suggestion, but when I suggested him this time I asked for a large animal bone to be used as a cudgle. Convenient for a Troll . . . first you eat the meat off the bone and then you have a weapon!

Oi, I suggested William, lol, you suggested one of his mates. Too much of Barli’s brew Tom, it’s clouding your memory .

But truth be without looking I can’t remember exactly what the suggestion was although I’m sure it involved a leg of mutton (too much of Barli’s brew as well).

Hroommm … huoommm … same old story again … huoommm … some of the regulars here avoid to drink clear-clean water … so they cannot remember what good-old William was holding in his hand …. rhuoommm … you might re-read “There and Back Again” … huoommm … as far as I remember they roasted mutton (and were quite displeased to have mutton everey day) … drinking from large mugs instead of using smaller receptacles for drinking that liquid they took from the barrel (JRRT was not very precise about the liquid) …. huoommmrhuomm …
As far as I witness Master Barliman is serving some of that … rhuoommm … liquid …hom or why else is he able to create words like “woolly-foted” (yes, it’s the same one who criticised me precise language a short time ago when I used the word word Ingwer instead of ginger …)
Then Master Twrich forgot about the second syllable of my name which is the one to characterize me perfectly … rhuooommm … not to mention Master Ddaines obviously having sipped some of that brew as he not even can remember what he suggested …. rhuoooommmmhom …. anyway, I like you people, you’re most entertaining …. hom … alas, once again a long explanation … but you know … once trees are decided they react and answer …. huooommmm …
