the one piece that has been glued back on is not on the front area of Barad-Dur.
i can hardly notice it when i look at it which i am thankful for.
here are some photos in natural light
Great shots, Bunny!
Loving the dark, speckly paint effect on the edges of the lava to make it look like little bits of crust are forming on the surface. So cool.

This is totally hackwork!!!
Why we have no eye?
Why we have not a single window glowing?
Did Sauron went to sleep and turn off all the lights?
I can see it clear:
1) Sculptors did their very best, no doubts! But still it's very lazy job to represent this castle. It's not dark and moody, it's just poorly executed. They could mold it from black-painted polystone and get the same result. Borad-Dur - is not an Orthanc, it should not be blank black.
2) The price is crazy. Yes, it's reasonable for some better paint-job, but we have what we have. And missing eye, yes. Awesome. Real Lord of the Rings product, coz, you know, Sauron was totally in good shape and in his physical body in this era. -___-
3) They moved release date to New Year. Nice choice for WETA, right. I know that they need some funds before holidays, but I really can't just pull around 1k$ from my... ear ))) and pay for this right away (I'll have to be ready for hard non-working January, I need to get presents to my beloved ones and etc.). I was planing to get it next spring. Also, I'm not willing to get 900$ package into new year postal "dead season", it simply can be stolen from me or damaged by drunk loaders.
I've pre-ordered this item on BBTS, coz I really need this into my collection. And I will make some custom windows paint and eye, yes. But I'm totally disappointed and not going to support such a behavior any further. I'd like to get new Gandalf, but now - no, thanks, you can keep it for 300$.

I said this at the start, get the Danbury mint Version, the detail on that is amazing and its at a fair price too. It also as a amazing painted Sauron eye.

I can't stand the "Barad-dur" name plate and I'm not a big fan of the eye (but at least that's removable). Other than that, well worth $100.
I have the DB one for sale, for a very low price. PM me!
