Tudor Mint News:
===========
We're still waiting on the second H.Samuels trilogy piece that was supposedly available in October. Several collectors have reported that Samuels have contacted them and refunded monies placed on advanced orders for both the second and third pieces in the trilogy. Here at DragonsCavern we'd not heard a word from H.Samuels and so we rang a store yesterday to obtain more information. We were told that stocks of The Dragon Fortune Finder had now arrived at their warehouse, and would be heading to stores shortly. The final piece - The Wizard Fortune Finder - is now expected in January. For those observant among you, yes these two are being released in the wrong order - it should have been the Wizard and then the Dragon. If you have any additional information, why not post it in the forum where there is a whole topic devoted just to the H.Samuels trilogy study fiasco!

Other News:
========
Further to the items in previous newsletters about a new stockist selling Myth and Magic, the news is good! They've received their first stock from the TM and are almost ready to start selling...we'll post the latest news about this in the blog.

Thanks to those of you buying books from Amazon using our aStore. If you haven't yet viewed our aStore, why not have a look at the range of Mythical books and DVDs on offer. The range is immense, and there is something for everyone. All the commission we earn gets ploughed straight back into the site on improvements and new features.

Finally, it's sad to see the something come to the end. We've been contacted by Martin, the webmaster of Dragonsmagic.co.uk. He wrote; "Just a short note to say that Dragonsmagic.co.uk is no longer. The site will close soon. I would like to thank all those people who supported it in its time, And to those people who got me to do it in the 1st place...I plan to keep the yahoo group open not only because it is free but it means we can keep in touch. Take care and no doubt speak with you all at some point!"

Many thanks Martin for all the help and support you've offered collectors over the years :-)

Changes to the site:
=============

The Forum is still growing, and is now international. There are lots of interesting discussions that taking place within it - many to do with Myth and Magic and the Tudor Mint, as well as other discussions with nothing to do with the collections! Sign up, post a message, join in!!

:MyChart is proving popular, and working well. Many subscribers have signed up and are making use of our online personalised history chart service to document their own collections. Have you tried it yet?

The subscribers section has had a slight change to the design of it to make it easier for you to see all the features within it. There is no need to undertake endless scrolling down the page anymore.

There are new additions to the Digital Methtintdour Times (Issues 33 and 34 have just been added), and the New Chronicles should see the final two members only studies stories added during November.

In the games section, we added five new games in mid October - including a very playable stickman version of the old arcade classic "Dragons Lair".

Remember that to access to the subscribers section, use your username and password.

If you have a prototype study, or a rare version of any item please send it to us for inclusion on the prototypes/rare pages. Use the submit form on the contact page of the website. In addition to this, the 'wanted' page of the website lists 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.
