If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

It's not a mistake, the IJ digraph is an established element of Dutch typography:

Also, your package is quite different from mine. Some sort of plastic envelope? My figure is in a standard blue box.

the envelope is just a letter/invoice/receipt the financial department sent me, still waiting for the box of milkmaids.  :toot:

Totally looks like one of the new styles of packaging, that animals will be coming in.

I think Macruruan is talking about hte Tim box on the right, it's the cardboard folder box they use on some special figures like the toy fair giveaways.

Tiermann to the rescue. I didn't look close enough, the figure on that package seemed to be the Vermeer.

 :doh: right, yes that is the "Tim" box. Its a cardboard promo box that has nothing to do with the Museum.

Those milkmaidens will make a fine addition to the work of krull and if they are as good as i suspect them to be i will order a dozen more from Riks museums ( probably spelled that wrong but dont care really)

Still waiting for the nurnberger to be released , special or not . even the pike helmet policeman was released ( zirndorf special ) and i have an army of 150 of them now ( the fatso army as dear friend wolf knight put it ) BUT still want to get 1200 Nurnbergers !!!! Someone help !!!!  :lol:


:knight: Steck is Holy . Bring back more steck sets and its guardians , the Nuremberg Guards :knight:

The two I ordered from Dutch DS came in today, it's definatly a beautifull clicky with great accesoires.
Also ordered a set of redcoats along with them and when unpackaging it all I realised that the last time I purchased DS redcoats it was with the bakery. Seemingly I can't order redcoats without a good supply of bread.  :lol:

But yes, it will all be very usefull. Since I don't collect western I didnt have that table yet but I think it can be used for medieval and pirates too. Baskets, bowls, bread and vases are always welcome too, it's great accesoires to have around.
I'll keep one of the ladies as she is, and modify the other with a new wig and no apron.
