Link's broken for me Lemmey.

Is this the one?  http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Radagast-the-Brown-on-Great-Eagle

'This resin kit contains 11 components, and a large flying base with two ball socket stems with which to make Radagast™ the Brown on Great Eagle.'

So at least you get two ball socket stems, presumably a replacement for when the first one snaps?

£40 isn't bad for such a high quality resin collectable miniature.

For a wargames figure there isn't enough urine in the UK to be extracted...

I think I'd be both Radagast and The Brown if I flew on a giant eagle.

Agh missed the capital letters off 'Giant Eagle' (must be in capitals so they can copyright it)!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I was considering going to the Kendal GW store on Saturday to pick up some paints.  My plan was to leave early, get to Kendal just after 9:00 then go on to the Lakes for the day.

When I checked the GW site for opening times they came up with 12:00 to 18:00!  That's for a store in the cenre of a busy market town on a Saturday morning!  Needless to say I wasn't going to hang arround for 3 hours just to get a couple of pots of paint.  Scratch one sale, ant hope selling anything else and a even lower view of GW than I had before.

I presume it's due to the store only having one staff member, but even he/she seems to be working part time, no wonder turnover is down!
