| oh yeh, saw that you only have the mini anduril at the collections listing. so you will get minis for those that you do not have? then again, you do have anduril, you bought the mini before you had the full sword is it? from your list... not much minis to get... you have 8 full sized swords and 2 starves already! will you be getting anduril scabbard with the matching belt? |
yah.. i got the mini anduril b4 i got the full sized one.. bought it on the spur of the moment when i first saw it on the clamshell which looks rather neat.. and cheap too.. considerably... the porcelain base one costs a lot more...
yeah... will get anduril's scabbard,, no belt for me tho...

extract from Oxford English Dictionary online..
Pl. staves (stevz), staffs (stfs, -æ-). Forms: 1 stæb, (stab-, steb-), 1-2 stef, 1-4 stæf, 1-6 staf, 3 oblique stæve, steave, 3-4 oblique stave, 4-7 stafe, 4-8, (9 arch.) staffe, 5-6 Sc. staif, 6 stayffe, Sc. stalf, (stafte), 4-7 gen. sing. staves, 3- staff; pl. 1 stafas, 2 stafen, 2-5 stafes, 3 staven, Ormin stafess, 4 stafs, steves, (stavenes), 4-5 stafis, stawis, 4-6 stavis, -ys, 5-6 staffes, 6 stavez, Sc. staiffis, sta(l)ffis, 3-9 staves, 8- staffs. [Com. Teut.: OE. stæf masc. corresponds to OFris. stef, OS. -staf (MLG., MDu., Du. staf), OHG., MHG. stap, genit. stabes (mod.G. stab). ON. staf-r (Sw. staf, Da. stav):OTeut. *stao-z; a variant type *stai- appears in Goth. *staf-s (in dat. pl. stabim) rendering element; a third type, possibly ancient, is represented by early mod.Du. stave, now staaf fem., bar. Other probable derivatives from the Teut. *sta- (? to be firm or fixed) are Da. stabbe (Icel. stabbi) STAB n.1; ON. stef neut. (:*stajon-) set or recurring time, refrain, stefja (:*stajon-) to prevent, stefna fem. appointed time (:*stanjn-), STEVEN n.; OHG. stabên (MHG. staben) to become stiff. The pre-Teut. type might be either *stapo- (? f. *st- to stand, with suffix of causative import as in Sk. sthpyati makes to stand), or *stabho-.
The plural form staves is now somewhat archaic, exc. in certain senses in which a sing. form STAVE has been developed from it; but it is still preferred in those senses that are confined to literary use.]
well.. if the above entry seems difficult to comprehend, let me say in a nut shell, an archaic spelling for the plural form of 'staff' is 'staves' and never 'starves', the present day plural form of the singular staff is actually simply 'staffs'.
I'm training to be a linguist/ historian, couldnt resist sharing this..
Okay Prof. 
ooohh... 
i see. haha, learnt something new today.
thanks for the info guoyi. i really had no idea.
i thought staffs look funny, more for personnel than these weapons.
i'm sure none of us here other than you knows what's all the mambo jumbo above.

the mambo jambo entry traces the etymology of the word... its like its variations thru time and space.. kinda interesting...
IMO, mi thinks the plural 'Staves' sounds much better than 'Staffs'. Just sounds more....er... how to put it...
... sounds more 'medieval' ... heheheh.

the shield seems a little too big for display.... also it seems a little dull. If only they make it shiner. dun mind if they made gil-galad's shield. Much more majestic...

Hmm, so many things to see and buy. Anyway, just to clarify, what is the minimum age for one to buy a sword?

hmm...same as buying condoms....
no age...?
no age...?
well... specifically there is not mininum age involved. it's not classified as weapon else we really do need to apply license when we buy the uc swords. all handled by the shops unless you ship them yourself from overseas.
but then which 7 yr old kid will walk into a shop and buy a sword????? he obviously doesnt have that kind of money and be able to carry a big one. though there is delivery service from caesars. same goes for a kindergarden boy going 7-11 to buy condom. highly unlikely right?
if there are buyers, it will be those of older ages. why this queer question Mith252000? how old are you?

its actually for their records.. thats why.. we dun need to get a license from the police.. ourselves..
hahaha... i guess so. Usually the police would request the shops to record down particulars for easy tracing. if the shops dun do it, they juz dun get to renew their license lor.

Well, I am barely 17 so just want to be on the safe side if you know what I mean.....
oh.. ic.. so which sword are u gonna get?
no worries lah, as long you are not a primary sch student!
caesars take your ic to store particulars into their database as record of member. the swords arn't cheap, so you only need to buy a piece and you are their member liao. also, that's why caesars members dont have membership card. it's all inside their database for reference.

thanks for the clarification bro.
hey bleahhh bro, do you still have the mr sting box? if so can roughly tell me the measurements? i want to see how much vpost would charge roughly. better if i had the weight, but i dont think you can manage to weigh. so if the box states the weight of the sword let me know i'll gauge from there.
that is provided vpost can ship it. may just get it from us.

How much does Narsil/Anduril costs? Maybe buying it by the end of the year...
