Welcome to the November newsletter from the DragonsCavern website.
This month we have news on:

* Vote Results and a new vote
Tudor Mint News:
=============
Collectables in the North East of England have asked the Tudor Mint to create a special commission titled ' The Lambton Worm' (Ref COL1). This is based on the mythical tale of the Lambton Worm from the North East of England.
This website tells a great story of the worm; http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/legends/lampton_worm.html
The collectables website; http://onlinecollectables.net/ has relaunched and you will be able to order the study direct from them shortly. Keep an eye on the site for news of this exclusive study.
In addition, members of the Myth and Magic Collectors collectors club will shortly find the latest club magazine landing on their doorstep.
Changes to the Website:
===================
We've launched the forum section to everyone now.
Have you looked at this new facility yet?

Remember, for the latest news, visit the DragonsCavern blog; where we add news as soon as we get it.
Broken Studies:
============
We've posted this in the blog;
How many times have you bought or sold a study from eBay only to find out that it has been destroyed on its travels by the Royal Mail? We've faced this problem on several occasions and thought that we can't be the only ones. Have you received a broken study, or posted one off only to hear it arrived in more pieces than it left you?
Have you had any success in claiming from the Royal Mail?
If you have suffered in the same way - please leave a comment with the blog entry. We'd like to find out the number of people who have suffered at the hands of the Royal Mail, and how you were compensated, (if at all).
Voting:
=====
Last month we asked, What is the most important factor when buying a study?
The results are;
The crystal 12.50%
The character 31.25%
The originality 43.75%
The exclusivity 12.50%
Another reason 06.25%
For November we are asking:
How do you think eBay has affected collecting the studies?
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.
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 or in the interview section, please contact the webmanager.
Sincerely,
Webmanager
