Welcome to the November newsletter from the DragonsCavern website.

This month we have news on:

• Tudor Mint new releases
• Changes to the DragonsCavern website
• Vote Results and a new vote
• More about H Samuels!
• Studies with Chains
• Tips and Tricks
• The Collectors Club

Tudor Mint New Additions:
This month sees the release of the third piece in the treasure seekers trilogy. The Dragon Treasure Seeker, SIG 18, will be the final piece required in the series, and also means that you will be able to send off for your extra piece, "The Treasure Seeker Map", that fits into the centre of all three pieces.

Changes to the Website:
Since the last newsletter we have added Gandys Quest to the games section within the subscribers area. This fun, flashed based game sees you taking the role of a familiar looking wizard as you attempt to find your missing pipe and a bit of weed to smoke in it. We have also added some time wasting activities! There are now 12 jigsaws for subscribers to put back together.

Also, within the main section a new page with the Design a Model studies is now available. However, we are still seeking images for some of these studies, so if you can help please get in touch.

Voting:

This month we asked "How would you like the new studies to be released. At regular intervals, or released in two blocks." The results are;

Regular Intervals 80.00%

Two blocks 20.00%

For November we are asking:

What was / is your favourite Tudor Mint range:

Myth and Magic, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Dark Secrets, The Arthurian Legend, Eggs, Land of the Dragons or Crystal Mementos?

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 December Newsletter.

H Samuels:

The H Samuels saga continues this month. We have received no official word yet from their Head Office regarding the policy of ordering exclusive studies, but in the meantime we have heard from more collectors with differing reports from stores. Some stores are reserving items, some stores are not, and other stores are ordering in pieces for collectors.

Studies with Chains:
Have you bought The Treasure Trove (Argos) or The Wizard Treasure Seeker (H Samuels) and found a way to keep the chain hanging from the study without it falling off?! Please contact DragonsCavern so that we can pass this onto other collectors who are asking the same question.

Tips and tricks:

In fact, if you have any tips for looking after, cleaning, repairing, or protecting your studies, please use the contact button on the website and pass your secrets on. We will create a page full of collectors tips and tricks.

If you are not a member of the Myth and Magic club, then why not?!
Now is the time to apply for membership ready for the new year. You will receive two issues of the club magazine with details of the competitions, news from the Tudor Mint, and advance notice of new studies. In addition you will receive an exclusive standard sized presentation piece entitled "The Lookout", as well as the opportunity to purchase two collectors club studies entitled "The Crucible of Light" and "The Ancient Magic". There are no images of these pieces on the DragonsCavern website yet, but we will add them as soon we are able to.

So what are you waiting for, visit http://www.tudormint.info and click on the Collectors Club link.

Requests:

If you have a prototype study, or a rare version of any 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's 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 an article in a future newsletter, please contact the webmanager.

Sincerely,
Webmanager
