Congratulation, Mornedhel. That was a nice finish.

The race is not run yet, Gildor. So now it's not the time to worry, I think.
As for "all the Easterlings we already have in mithril" as you put it, I just wonder. In my collection there are just a few and they're not at all "due to mithril style continuity", as you said. Just compare M241 (Brodda) with one of the two Variags (rider and archer) or the Christmas figure from 2010 for example.
Anyway, we'll see.

To be honest I also would be pleased with any of those three suggestions; though I think the MS Forlong-figure really is in need of a complement which could reveil another idea of an Easterling warrior (of which there are just few in the whole Mithril-range so far).

Sorry, Forlong, of course. Thank you Goldor.

After the realease of MS606 Frumgar I have the idea of an
EASTERLING CHAMPION, fighting Forlong
I imagine this figure as a complement (opponent) to the Frumgar-figure in its pose. Unfortunately J.R.R. Tolkien did not reveal much about his idea of Easterlings, just that those fighting on the Pelennor Fields were bearded men "of a new sort ... out of some savage land in the wide East".

I do agree, that at least a starting price of 180 € would be fair, though I think 200 € should also be considered (just to make some profit) as that one is an extremely rare item. I know of one MX535 being sold for 250 GBP.

Congratulatons, Barliman. No matter what time it took, in the end Elfhelm won the race. Must be a fine steed. So better give it some apples as a reward as for shire horses like apples better than oats.

Clear words those are, Halbarad II. - H. Wolf.
Maenas, I'm not the only one thinking that a Galadriel in a swan boat is a very fine suggestion for a vignette. Gildor complainted about too few possibilities for vignettes to be suggested for further MS-releases.

Alas, for the first time I keep my vote up to the end. Of course I am decided about it from the beginning, but I have this strange feeling that in the end one of the last votes could be important. So I have be careful and patient placing my vote. By the way, I do like all three suggestions.

Post by Theobald on Apr 11, 2015 22:52:36 GMT
Indeed, Barliman. That's why this month once again I did not dare to make a suggestion myself. But someone was right mentioning that in the past there have been two months a year for mounted figures. If that still was working we would be able to cope with the suggestions for mounted figures better. Anyway, just let's see.

Alas Master Barliman, I've got many branched roots,boughs,twigs,branches and suchlike things - sorry, but a bit more than your limited number of fingers and toes. - Anyway, we obviously agree on the vote this time.

Well, Mornedhel, you forgot to refer to the Eowyn in the MB2297 box-set and the MS554 (though that one is not in armour). So there're 5 figures, but one is included in a box without a base, two of them are 54mm figures, and the M316 is mounted. I'm just trying to be correct. Barliman, I just don't want to start counting what you call generic orcs, but you're right anyway.

Hm, the 39th could have been a Lepracaun giving a vote. Sometimes the Irish have some problems with those beings.

Welcome, Strider. - I just read this and I think Orc's suggestions are very good for to have a start with this.

Well, I am of the same opinion as Master Barliman. So tossing a coin that was, because I just feel obliged to vote.

I don't think so Milo. The surroundings do not match the desciption of ICE. From that picture on the cover I cannot identify any Mithril figure at all.

I definitely like the hidden vote, as a vote should be. - Though, of course, it does not leave any space for argueing or convincing others any more, or even to take out a vote from within the box and re-write it. I think that part of trying to convince or even persuade others could always already be done in the suggestion-period. I do agree, Milo, that sometimes there might be need of a second round if the first one comes to a tie. But then that one should also be a hidden vote, as anything else wouldn't make any sense, I think.
Yes, I am aware, Michael, that this might cause lesser contacts to the site, as then you always have to have a look at the result on the expiry date to know about the final result.
Maybe it would be better for us to promote and argue for suggestions from the beginning (i.e. suggestions). - Though, to be honest, there are just those 29 people voting (sometimes 32). Alas, these are just my thoughts and they're not intended to cause any harm. Michael,I do appreciate your attempt to change the voting system very nuch. So, let's see.

Gentlemen, I would like to apologize for having unwillingly aroused this discussion about voting and elections here. I am aware that this has run out of topic in this thread. That I did not intend. I never wanted to start a discussion about political elections or democracy in general. All I did was just to criticize the the present votin-system on this board. I simply said, to support my point of view, that I would NOT like to imagine to have it transferred to political elections. Maybe someone got me wrong. I did not react to the last entries, but with this one want to appeal that you Gentlemen please keep in mind that this is about hobbies and collecting, not a place to start political discussions.
So, please let's get back to providing suggestions for miniatures here. Thank you.

I would like to massively support Gildor's statement about the present "voting-system" as to me it is ridiculous. This possibility of changing one's vote until the voting expires is absurd. To me voting always meant that you give your private vote and in the end there'll be a result. Imagine such a "voting system" as we find it with the Gold-Fellowship being transferred to political elections ... ? No, better not.

What exactly is complicated, Barliman? So far I did not place my vote, as there still is time left. I cannot haste. - Though, in case I had there would still be time enough left to shift it there and back again.

I cannot agree with all you said, Halbarad II. - As far as I know it wasn't C. Tubb who hasn't been able to catch up with the releases. There also is some Company involved in the line of production, isn't it.
