Just got Thranduil - amazing piece - and I was wondering what is on the calendar or Asmus in the next year or so? I particularly love the baddies or exotic things like the high elves. I really have no interest in any more Fellowship figures.

Could someone with knowledge please post if we are going see the beautiful Gandalf in his fireworks cart that was posted here several months back but seems to have vanished since then? It would be most appreciated. I usually buy only the bad guys - Morgul Lord, Gothmog, Guritz, Mouth of...

Over the last two days I have been watching BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES on Blu-ray and occasionally venture into my basement to look at my collection which includes all the LOTR six inch toys from ToyBiz and the smaller but still wonderfully detailed Armies of Middle Earth line that were really...

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/443886106999131004/ Anybody seen this which is suppose to be released in a couple of weeks? Reactions????? I have two of the Rubies orcs - Moria and Lurtz that were lifesize busts from ten years ago and I am very happy with them.

I know there is an overlap between people who read and post here and also participate in the WETA Shadow and Flame forums. Is there anyone else who cannot access the WETA forum site over the last few days? When I try I get a message saying there is an error. I even had my wife try it from here...

Just got the Noble Collection Gandalf staff - HOBBIT version - and it does not come with any wall mount. Does anyone have a solution for mounting it upright on a wall? I do NOT want to lay it flat or horizontal and have a space on the wall for it to be upright.

When FOTR came out in late 2001 , the official New Line site sold the theater lobby stand up that was seven feet tall and used the Moria gate as the theme. I gladly bought one and still have it. I ever saw ones for TTT or ROTK. Has anyone else ever seen these? And now for the big question...

How many people here would be interested in a really deluxe polystone statue of GROND as it is being pulled by the various creatures and assisted by a horde of orcs approaching the gates of Minas Tirith? No company has yet produced any version of GROND. Rather than see another version of...

Question about pricing of the WETA statues: I got in on the very first Sideshow LOTR figure and they were nice enough to give me a discount from the very start. I got all the figures I wanted at what I thought were fair prices. Now I see the WETA statues and it looks to me we are paying two...

Does anyone have any information about any company doing a line of HOBBIT film toys using the scale of the Armies of Middle Earth from PlayAlong? I build dioramas of the scenes and have some 1,000 figures and would love to see this line continued and updated.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I really do not see a better place for it. I am hoping some skilled people know the answer to this. I recently purchased a bunch of Armies of Middle Earth LOTR figures and all have been superglued to their bases. I want to remove the bases without...

I build complicated dioramas using the Lord of the Rings Armies of Middle Earth figures made by Play Along. I do not buy and sell these as a business, nor am I a dealer. I am looking for loose figures outside of their packaging. I am especially looking for any figures I can use in a Helms...

Lots of folks here have posted in the past that they want a diorama of all nine members of the Fellowship and Bill the Pony as they cross Middle-earth. Some have said that would mean the scale must be smaller. How about this? They do the idea as three different dioramas released four to six...

Is there some rule here that says the term OTHER DISCUSSION must be confined to the toy department of society? Why is it that when more serious issues come up, and even when the conversation is civil, that somebody here gets very frightened of too much reality and pulls the plug.

from the Hollywood Reporter Guillermo del Toro is in talks to direct back-to-back installments of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," which is being co-financed by New Line and MGM. Del Toro's name was on a short list of directors who could tackle the project, one of the most anticipated literary...

Recently SS announced the Balrog bust. I yawned and decided not to buy it since I have the original Balrog full figure statue they did. I bought it new for the original price - just like every other SS LOTR item I have that fills 3 large curio cabinets. I have been talking with several other...

hot off the presses -------------------

In the mail today came the Gentle Giant ELROND bust. I must say that I like the Weaving character the least of most of the LOTR film cast and his portrayal is one of my least favorites. The bust is okay - good sculpt- but it looks to be a bit too feminine and soft. The best feature is the...

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said. U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based...

Every media outlet in the sports world is reporting today that the FBI is investigating a NBA referee who for the past two years has bet on games, has made calls to shave points in those games and who has helped determine the results of those games. In other words, he has fixed NBA games. The...
