Ask Sideshow LOTR Q&A's

[Seaward]

Josh,

I understand your viewpoint to have people slow down and not be so hasty to make accusations towards Sideshow. I agree, but I think that the dialogue here is more along the lines of people expressing frustration with the lack of news or development with a favored product line.

I think a lot of our dialogue here has a little bit of hyperbole just as part of the nature of the discussion, but I don't think people here hate Sideshow or feel like they are lying, just frustrated with the current trend. I think people are just hungry for more information, and as we talk, we tend to feed off of each other's energy here, negative or positive. If people need a place to vent, I feel like this is a good place for it, even if the words chosen are sometimes inflammatory. I myself would rather focus on the positive, and keep a good attitude on things, but I understand when people get frustrated too.

Sideshow has been slower on both the maquette an premium format offerings than many fans would like, and I think people are just expressing their feelings. I hope that people can take that frustration and turn it into an e-mail asking Sideshow about the need to finish the fellowship!!! All the best!

Ask Sideshow is ALWAYS the best place to submit questions to product lines (and looks like many of you have been submitting questions). Ask Sideshow will start spilling forth more answers to the MANY questions soon, so be on the lookout.

As for LOTR news. I can tell you that something big and cool will be riding in, in the near future that should give much delight to many (if not all) 'The Lord of the Rings' collectors. You've all been very patient and I think you'll be very excited with what will be revealed.

Alex, please confirm it won't be a LSF? Pleaseeeeeeeeeee

 

[imanol1985]

Alex! Tell us something more! It will be from PF line? Maybe the Nazgul on Steed?
And could you tell us something about the maquette line? Will there be more maquettes pre-orders before the Comic-Con?

Finally someone gives some news, it appears that the Nazgul Premium Format is about to see the light?

I hope that soon we have some news of the maquette line and the Hobbits are announced.

Thank you very much for answering. I hope you understand that you must have something informed collectors.

it means the RWOS is next soon, but it doesn't mean it won't be moved to the LSF line.

it wont, or i quit.

 

[azurepred]

it wont, or i quit.

doubt you'll quit, not that SS would care. Chances are good it will be until it's officially confirmed otherwise. Prepare for the worst

 

[Seaward]

Thanks for chiming in Alex. It has been quite a dry spell for the Lord of the Rings fans on the board, and we are looking forward to all sorts of news and excitement with regards to the Premium Format and Maquette lines. It sounds like we have some big news on the horizon, and hopefully we have some little news too (Cough...hobbits....cough)

Really, truly, thanks for chiming in and being a presence on the board. We are thrilled with the LOTR stuff that we have and see on the horizon, but we are always eager to increase our collections!!

 

[tomandshell]

Sounds like the RWOS PF is coming soon, and that's nice. I'll keep waiting for maquette news.

 

[DaveMac]

So.... some will wait again for answers.

Ah well, some things are worth waiting for and the delay on the Fellowship in PF has certainly changed my collection preference.

Still looking forward to seeing the RWoS. More so because I know that the grafters at SS are going to make an 'ultimate version' if nothing else

 

[The Josh]

Thanks for the news Alex

 

[bill59]

Very welcome new indeed...if a little over due...but welcome non-the-less.

Thank you so much Alex.

Bring it!

Still no LOTR questions answered on Ask Sideshow as of today... Come on SS, give us some concrete news already or at least tease us with some production blogs or answers to our MANY questions!!!

And before anyone gets upset, thanks for the juicy tidbit of "sort of new news" regarding the RWOS PF from the other day, Alex!!

 

[Phil Sierra]

I have a question. With The Hobbit coming out this year will Sideshow make any collectibles from it?

Well if their hard to answer a question from the line of LOTR.
Yesterday I try to send any questions about this license and curiously hung me the page no longer think.

I also thank Alex will let us know something of the Nazgul PF but let's be fair and knew we were working on this, so we still no news of this license, you are behaving very badly with LOTR collectors, and really do not understand this attitude from them.

We will see that attitude taken when advertising starts Weta parts Hobbit, because I think I get the new Sideshow maquette line to compete with parts of Weta Hobbit.

Again I apologize but I will express myself clearly, but you know that not fluent in English.

 

[chaber]

In case anyone was wondering, none of the QAs posted as of today on Ask Sideshow have anything to do with LOTR...

 

[Seaward]

Thanks for the heads up Chaber. Glad to hear about the RWOS PF, but some additional news about the future of the Premium Format and Maquette lines would be great. I will try to find some time to hit up the Ask Sideshow function again today and ask them about the future of the Fellowship in both lines! I would encourage people to keep letting Sideshow know how important these lines are to them and request some more information! Keep it civil and polite, as that will help get answers. I doubt that they have any ill-will or malice for the LOTR community, but we might just not be as focused or vocal (or as profitable) as Marvel or Star Wars collectors. Try to keep in good spirits!
