[FlyAndFight]

I too came late into the game...

1. Mines of Moria

2. Helm's Deep

3. Golden Hall

Started as "only" an environments collector. That idea quickly got thrown into Mount Doom....

[Bodie The Cursed]

Funny that the third tends to be a blur...

:xmas

[Beruthiel1]

1. Argonath Bookends with the gift set
2. GTW Bust
3. Eomer Bust or maybe it was the Smeagol statue with the TTT Gift set, can't really remember, it's a blur

[CaptainCaveTroll]

My first three were:

1. Balrog
2. Witchking of Angmar
3. Cave Troll

$300 each but I got well stung on the shipping ($200 altogether!!!)

[larbob]

First order was in 2002 from SS and had 7 statues including:
Strider
Sam and Bill
GTG

[elwood49]

I also just started buying around December of last year. However, I've always been a big HT/DVD enthusiast, so I became aware of Sidshow when the Balrog, Cave Troll, etc. were still up for sale. At the time I thought, "Wow, those are cool, but probably a little too geeky for me to have in my house." My how things have changed.

I was drawn to this forum by a thread on the Home Theater Forum (which several people here, including Chuck, spaceman, and others, started). Anyway, my first 3 pieces were:

1. Gandalf the Grey (about to be sold)
2. Baby Rog
3. RWOS

[Nazgurl]

First 3 actually in the house, or first 3 ordered?

If it's the latter:

Fell Best
RWoS
Sauron/Morgul Lord (ordered on same day)

If it's first three that actually made it to my house:

Fell Beast followed by can't remember - in Feb 2004 I started getting so much off ebay that I honestly can't remember what I received before I got the pieces I'd ordered but not received.

[RoboDad3000]

1 - GTG
2 - Legolas
3 - Frodo

Boy do I wish I would have waited on Legolas (he's STILL available below retail on eBay), and put that money toward Aragorn, Orthanc or a Witch-king statue, all of which were still available on Sideshow's site at that time.

:bang

[Gabberjawa]

Oh, first 3 chonologically? My bad. I thought this was another "top ten" list.

My first 3 were:

1. Saruman(got for free for winning art contest)
2. Balrog(first piece I ever bought)
3. I think it was actually Fell Beast

[dayhiker1]

Balrog (off the wait list)

[Gruson]

1. RWOS
2. GTG
3. Boromir

[pordey2]

2. Fell Beast
3. Gandalf/Bilbo bookends or Smeagol DVD bookend, can't really say for sure what came first...

[Bill Door]

Not counting the DVD pieces, Gandalf the White, No Admittance Bookends and Frodo/Lurtz. I ordered Frodo and Lurtz together, and they both arrived in the same box. I think I opened Frodo first, if it really matters.

This is a tough one, so many pieces ago...


I started late as well but I hopped on the Witchking first. After this it became a flurry. My wife broke the first Witchking, so I scrambled around got another one with a Lurtz bust and Treebeard as company for his ride. I got ahold of Rick to fix my first one then moved the 2nd over to a friend. So I guess my list would look like this.

1. Witchking bust
2. Witchking bust
3. Lurtz/Treebeard bust

[spaceman]

Bookends (Bilbo & Gandalf, "Old Friends")
Balrog
Orthanc

Those were the days ... :p

[Maldaketh]

1. Gandalf the Grey bust
2. Aragorn bust
3. Boromir bust

I started rather late, but since I collected the busts that didn't matter much. If anything I saved money. Especially true on Gandalf, who had to be my first purchase as he's my favourite character. Then I decided to get the rest of the Fellowship, with Aragorn, Boromir, Frodo and Pippin coming in a single shipment. Things escalated pretty swiftly after that.

Saruman Statue,
Uruk Scout bust,

and its been downhill ever since !

[cyndalza]

2. Gandalf the Grey
3. Frodo

[FrodoEyes]
