Question About SSW Statues From Newbie Collector

[serfup]

First off welcome. Aragorn is a great piece and my favorite piece from the book. If he is to expensive the Aragorn at the Black gate might be an alternative, while not Strider he is Aragorn before he became king.
Saruman is an excellent piece and still not that expensive and ROS is awesome. Merry is also excellent and not that pricy.
Then you have Gimli, Pippin and Bilbo(a little expensive at this point.)
Other great pieces that are not to expensive are Theoden, Galad. Archer, Elrond and Treebeard.
Sam and Bill is a great piece, but very expensive at this point.

Hi Everyone,

First, welcome warlock664 to the wonderful world of LOTR Polystone. Some good advice is (if you can afford it), start to concentrate on the older pieces with a low production run. Once they dry up (which is about 6 months ago), pieces tend to shoot up. Don't try to buy everything because it will break your bank. You can concentrate on a theme like the Fellowship or all Horse/Rider type statues. Have patience, just because you see one of them available, doesn't mean more will be available in the future. Watch the price guide and spend your money wisely. Instead of a Sam and Bill, maybe go for a newer piece like Legolas and Gimli on Arod and with the difference you will spend, buy a King Elessar.
The expensive pieces will always be available for a price. If you can learn the market price on this line, you can see what is starting to rise in price and snatch it before it goes up to a ridiculous level.

Good Luck. It's a wonderful line.

Thanks,
Mike
