Just got the notice myself... Looking forward to it.. and a little sad.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, sad for sure. This has been such a great line to collect for us fans IMO. I wonder how far behind Aragorn is?

 

[tomandshell]

Wow! I was just thinking about this piece, and here is the big announcement. They really did save one of the best pieces for the end.

 

[SnapJimmy]

Ya... kinda sad for me too... Glad it's finally coming though

By the way, the SS website still say "PROTOTYPE SHOWN".
I wonder whether they made any changes.....

They did that Tom I agree. This piece really is very very nice as is Aragorn @ The Black Gates. With all the other stuff coming I have no idea where the heck I'm gonna put this guy.

I seem to remember this coming up in chat, and I think they said that there were only some very minor changes that were not all that noticeable and didn't seem to be worth a new set of photos. I expect him to look pretty much like the official pics--fantastic, that is!

 

[FrodoEyes]

Woot! One of the best statues Weta have done. Can't wait for you US guys to get yours so all of us in the EU can see what it's like

 

[Kwerve_Supper]

Can't wait to get this one - I've had the shelf picked out for months now. In all the excitement around the new Sideshow Star Wars and Lord of the Rings licenses, I keep forgetting about how much I'm looking forward to these last two SS/W statues!

 

[Agent23]

Looking forward to this one, bigtime.

Can't believe the SS Weta line is just about wrapped up.

 

[tomandshell]

I actually have no place to put this, now that I think about it!! I was looking at my office shelves, and there is no place big/wide/deep enough to display this thing. It needs to be displayed so that you can get an easy view of both characters--in the open. I would hate to get it and have to keep it in my closet for a while. Can't display it at home because of the kids...

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I have no idea where this will go. It may have to stay boxed up for a while sadly.

 

[Brindavoine]

Nice statue!
Looking forward seeing pics.
With with riders, I'm going to have two Legolas statues, the standing one and the riding one. I started thinking about getting rid of the standing one but reached the conclusion that imo the standing statue definitively makes a good couple with my Moria Orc Archer . So I guess I'll keep both Legolas statues.

Thought the same thing about Gimli and Legolas, but I guess they'll end up staying in the collection anyways.

It was the same thing with the two representations of Aragorn and the three representations of the Witchking, which I all kept in the end. But that's not quite the same thing here as the two on Arod are pretty much representing the same characters with same clothing etc. as the individual statues, so we'll see...

 

[Agent23]

I got my one book-shelf all cleared out up top both Legolas and Gimli on Arod and Aragorn @ the Black Gates.

After that, I will have hardly any space left. And, I still have to make room for Kong's Last Stand. And, the WitchKing (in true form) , when I decide to get one...

 

[Darth Loki]

I had a very hard time not ordering this piece. It really is bueatiful but with everything else coming out right now I just can't take the immediate hit. Maybe one day I'll find this beaut for $250 or so on eBay. Can't wait to see the pics though.

 

[Lynxje]

Last piece of SSW I'll be getting, will feel really weird when I get this one I think......

 

[Agent23]

You can always go back and get other pieces you missed out on. That's my plan anyway....hopefully, with the WiKi (true-form).

I've got everything I want from this line, I have a beautifull displaycase custom made to fit my collection as it is (plus L&GoA), so I think I'll call it quits after this one. Only piece I'd really like to have is the Uruk Scout, but I can get half a CM for it's price, so I doubt I'll ever add him.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, I'm nearing the end of SSW pieces I'm going to be picking up.

I'm going to get:

Aragorn @ The Black Gates
Legolas/Gimli On Arod
GTG Bust
Gimli Bust
Legolas Bust
Merry Bust
Sam Bust

After that I think I can pretty much call it a day on my SSW Collection. I've had more fun than I can imagine getting these, but once I get these as I told Rumi the other day during lunch I feel pretty content on my collection and the items in it.
