Germania galore, Who is buying these.

Well done Jon, you managed a decent job despite your problems. Now, go and have a Lemsip and lie down!      

On a more serious note, these aren't something I want for my collection - although I agree that issuing one rune at a time makes much more sense than issuing the whole set together. I wonder how many people were put off the previous set because of that. Glow in the dark has always looked a bit gimmicky to me, but that's just my taste. Sigyn looks nicely done, but if I were looking at goddesses (which I'm not btw) I'd go for Freja - she has a chariot pulled by cats!
I was looking at the Germania website, and there are some rounds they're proposing for this year that look quite interesting. They're on a mission to return to their roots:
They are going to complete the Mythical Forest by issuing an Yggdrasil round, complete with magical squirrel - apparently by popular demand. That's something I would go for. (Spring 2024)
Secondly, they proposes a series of 'Artefacts'. Five rounds "dedicated to magical items from Germanic mythology". That could be very interesting or absolutely dire, I'll wait and see. (Spring 2024)
Thirdly, there will be a five coin series 'Ragnarok', starting with the two wolves Skoll and Hati. Again, this could be really great and I am very interested to find out. (Summer 2024) (Sorry, I can't find an umlaut on my laptop keyboard, so please forgive the lack).
These look very interesting to me, much more than the Valkyries and Goddesses. I just hope they're also on a mission to cut back on their premiums.

I hope the new releases will be back to what they do best. They seem to of lost their way abit . With other mints releasing spectacular pieces at a reasonable price they need to do something to keep us wanting more. Yes surprise I'm collecting the bars but very disappointed they don't come in a capsule

Just think how much the premium would be if they were in capsules! But yes, given the risk of scratching the coloured face it's the least they could do.
