In addition, the following catalogues / websites also sell Myth and Magic studies;

Choice for you (http://www.choiceforyou.co.uk)
Great Universal Essentials (http://www.greatessentials.co.uk)
Home Farm Hampers (http://www.homefarmhampers.co.uk)

There are more out there, but we have not found them yet. If you know of anymore mail order catalogues that sell Myth and Magic, please let us know, and we will add them to the list.

Enchanted Gifts and Collectables
This American based website has recently undergone a website overview, and we have to say it looks good. Not only can you order the latest Myth and Magic, but they also have many of the other Tudor Mint ranges too.

The straight forward navigation system on the left of every page allows you to easily browse to every area of the site, and the breadcrumb trail at the top of each page ensures you know exactly where you are.

Although you need to be based in the US to login to the site before you can fill your basket with goods, the good news for collectors in other countries is that the company will ship goods to you if you click on the 'International Orders' link and request shipping prices for the studies that you would like.

If you have not already visited this site - we suggest you take a look as you may just find that piece that you are looking for.

Changes to the Website
In response to many requests sent to the website, we have added a classifieds section where you can advertise your studies for sale, or advertise studies that you are seeking to complete your collection. Advertising is free, and all classifieds will remain on the website for three weeks. Why not give it a try and see.

The new studies pages now are image complete - thanks to the Tudor Mint, and also the entire miniature section now contains images, thanks to purplemonkey who sent in the last remaining images we required. This means that all miniature, standard and large Myth and Magic Studies, as well as all Arthurian, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Dark Secrets collections now contain images of all the studies. There are a few images of chess sets, and other items, that we are still seeking (see the images required section of the website for the full list).

We are aware that there has been no new content added to the exclusive subscribers section over the past few months. This has been due to workload problems elsewhere, but it will be addressed soon. Watch out for an announcement in the next newsletter.

To access your exclusive subscribers section of the website, please use your username and password.

Don't forget that for the latest news, visit the DragonsCavern blog; http://blog.dragonscavern.co.uk where we add news as soon as we get it.

We are seeking several traders / collectors / fans of Myth and Magic who would like to help add content to the blog on a regular basis. Would you have the time to write one or two entries each month that visitors to the website would be able to read and reply to? If you would like to become an author on the blog, with exclusive access allowing you to post your own entries and thoughts please contact us with your ideas.

Last month we asked, "How do you buy your Myth and Magic?" The results are;

In a store 46.15%

For July we are asking:

Take part in the vote by using the buttons on the main page, or in the contact or vote sections. Results will be announced in the August Newsletter.

Requests:
If you have a prototype study, or a rare version of any study, please send a photo for inclusion on the prototype/rare studies pages. Use the submit form on the contact page of the website. In addition to this, the Images Required page of the website lists the studies that we are looking for images for. If you are able to help with those, please contact us.

That is all for this month. If you have any news, websites, announcements or comments that you would like to see in the next newsletter, or if you are a trader / collector who would like to be featured in a future newsletter, please contact the webmanager.

Sincerely,
Webmanager
