I think the first improvement that shall be done on mithril web site is to provide a full range database, this to highlight how wide is mithril range.
As a diorama builder, (more than collector even if I'm getting close to have the full 32mm set), I would for sure come with all my works in Mac Room if Mithril can manage a Hobbit exhibition in the Mithril factory to coincide with the release of the films. I am convinced Peter Jackson knows about Mithril existence. And I am convinced he's not the only one working on the film who would appreciate to meet miniatures fans, Chris Tubb also, and share something eternal in our mind. So please go for it !

First, Thanks to Mithril's for opening suggestions to public customers. This has never been done in miniature world so far and is a great opportunity for LOTR fans. Now it comes to money discussion, I dislike the way it is presented. The reason HD1 sold poorly is that they were considered to be too expensive. So how is charging three times as much going to help? I You are damned right Barliman. Why frightening customers before anything has started ? Before telling us how pricing things will probably be, mithril should spread information on their new suggestion process worldwide. It has been done for the mithril community somehow, but this is not enough. It shall be done to LOTR community, RPG community (web sites, shops...), and Miniatures community,and all others I forget to mention ! And this is not our role I agree with Gildor. I'm only a passionate customer.

I may support also HD2. But goal here is to propose, not to vote yet !
So I think everyone shall be creative and propose more ideas. Otherwise this project will not start as it should.
Here my own suggestion.
"The Hobbit Dwarves in war gear". We already have Thorin, Balin and Gloin in war gear....where are the 10 others ?

Thanks for your vote maenas. I also thought of having a crebain on saruman's forearm but I fear it would almost look like M18 or M84. As I would I prefer to see a new posture, I proposed a bird talking to the wizard's ear. Then, you are completely right that a dynamic pose would be better. Maybe saruman's left hand could be pointing the sky as if they are talking about directions (or current weather ;D )? I can imagine also one crebain approaching the base, where there could be some rocks... But then, can you cast such thing considering the wizard's staff also ? This will have to be discussed with chris... Well, of course if the suggestion wins the vote.

Crebains reporting to Saruman One bird is on Saruman's shoulder, reporting to him. Saruman is careful and concerned. There should be one or two crebains landed, around Saruman's feet. I checked on Axel list, crebains were never suggested before. These are very important characters in LoTR !

I am disapointed Frodo & Golum in cracks of Mount doom could not join final round... But it is true all Trolls were ahead this time. My vote goes to Beregond as no "white tree" warrior in a fighting pause exist yet in mithril range.

It seems Trolls have more support than others this time. Come on Tom, expel them !

I also would like to remind everyone that we can already make: orc with spear fighting Frodo in Marzabul's chamber using M288B + M287B
And we already have "M326 Shagrat and Gorbag"
So for me, these 2 suggestions shall have less priority than others.

I had 2 ideas using Tom Bombadil.
1st: "Tom Bombadil commanding Old Man Willow to release hobbits" 2nd: "Tom Bombadil expelling the Barrow-wight"
Then Old Man Willow is for sure a "Giant monster", so such suggestion does not meet what is requested for this month suggestion. (Maybe It shall be a future MB like "white Council")
OK, here is my suggestion:
"Tom Bombadil expelling the Barrow-wight"
This is not a pure fight with weapons clashes, but for sure it is a special Good vs Evil confrontation.
Tom is shouting in a "daddy" pause. I mean he would scold the creature. Barrow-wight is shunning like a terrified child.
I would also like this to be a comic scene: For instance Tom Bombadil could be rubbing his hands gleefully and Barrow-wight arms could be in "hands up" position.

you are d**n right Hwolf!! I was fooled again by the movie shame on me... you are perfectly right we can switch to the VICTORY of Gollum dancing with the ring and the finger holding it in his hands just before fallin in the Cracks of Doom, with a deveated Frodo holding his hand crouched below Gollum Thus if allowed by Michael I'd like to change the description of my suggestion to this one... so that it fits the book perfectly and not creates something wrong (unless Mithril can sell "invisible paints"? lol ) Again, this final fight in cracks of Mount doom have my full support...unless my other suggestion to come finds its way to final vote ;D

Grond, +1 Karma and you're back to 21.
I do not really care about the karma, but I feel good when I get some feedback. So having a non-anonymous karma whare we could even add a comment would be better.

Bienvenue Sevlag, je suis ravi de rencontrer quelqu'un qui est exclusif Mithril comme moi. Si tu as des réalisations à nous montrer, tu peux les poster sur MMP ou bien les proposer par mail à Michael ici.
Concernant MMP, le "trading engine" de Gildor marche très bien. ça nous permet de vite échanger nos recherches et disponibilités. Nous pourrons surement t'aider si tu recherche quelques références. à très bientôt donc !

First, I would like to congratulate for the Ent who again has beaten Grima and Saruman. This was a great and fair fight ! This month, I again suggest we have our beloved hobbit in MS series. Bilbo in mithril coat with ArkenstoneI imagine the moment when Bilbo is presenting the Arkenstone to Thranduil and Bard (he coud be bowing also). the mithril coat is visible under Bilbo's cloak the arkenstone is in both Bilbo's hands Sting is on Bilbo's belt. the One ring is visible only through Bilbo's pocket's shape. Remind this event is the only one where Bilbo can be represented wearing the mithril coat (during battle of five armies, he was quickly knocked out by a stone and still wearing the one ring, so invisible). Noone on Middle earth has ever been so precious ! ;D No mithril visible in mithril range must be corrected !

This is not very fair Barliman, regarding all coins I spent to your place in past monthes ! But I recon the ent spent much more time and his arms are far more impressive than mine ! Still, do not forget you need my skills for babies... ;D ;D

Grima is getting overtaken by an Ent. He might be scared remembering what he saw in Orthanc... ;D Come on fellows, bring him back in 1st place!

Thanks Michael,
Does this mean no regular release until new web site is achieved also ? Can't we have more miniatures meanwhile ?

Post by Milo on Apr 5, 2011 11:11:24 GMT
The good thing also is that I can suggest a new idea !
Grima killing Saruman
Story reminder: When Saruman was overthrown by a hobbit rebellion and ordered to leave, Frodo implored Gríma not to follow him, claiming that he knew of no evil Gríma had ever done him and offering him food and shelter before leaving for his own life. Saruman countered by revealing to the Hobbits that Gríma had murdered and possibly eaten their accomplice Lotho Sackville-Baggins, a kinsman of Frodo, kicking Gríma in the process. This humiliation drove Gríma over the edge;
So here is the scene: Grima attacked Saruman with a knife and slit his former master's throat.
