Nice! Looks pretty darn cool! I have some Weta dollars I will use on this guy.

Indeed Josh ! Captures well the likeness of Aidan Turner. Yep, me too, I'm gonna be using some Weta dollars to get this.

I feel his brother Fili will be up soon!

 

[The Josh]

The likeness is really solid I agree. I had $120 weta dollars and knocked this down to $138 shipped.

That wouldn't shock me if he was at comic-con.

 

[The Ween]

This has got to me my next dwarf buy!

That arrow sticking out worries me though. Could easily break.

 

[The Josh]

I thought you might like this one Ween.

I bet it will be made of a pretty flexible plastic.

Edit: Despite knocking it down with Weta Dollars. I still ended up getting $19 in Weta Dollars for this order.

 

[The Ween]

Just ordered him and Balin! I'll get Balin right away and then Kili next month.

I'll get caught up soon.

 

[Mr Fell Beast]

Meh...................

Sweet! Balin is such a good statue. I think you're going to love it.

Meh...................

Can't say I agree with that. Glad to be adding another of the Traveling Party.

What I like most about Weta's style is the time from pre-order to your door. With SS you have a year wait, sometimes more. I much prefer this approach.

 

[The Josh]

It does cut down on the wait time and for people who don't have the patience to wait.

Wow, that's a good deal Josh. You can never go wrong with the Weta dollars! You get discount and reward at the same time.

Collectibles surely have come a long way since the SSW days. While SSW produced some really amazing statues in the past, I'm glad that I've become an avid collector at present because the statues in this Hobbit line have become exquisitely detailed which I'm really stoked about.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I basically took it back to the price of statues during the SSW line. Weta dollars are fantastic.

I love that the SSW line holds up so well but it is amazing how much the sculpting/paint has improved by both SS and Weta since then. This line if statues for The Hobbit is shaping up nicely.

I only have Thorin from this line, but wanted to pick up Kili and Fili if they eventually do him. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that I could pre order this? I'd get it from Weta but not sure how much customs I'd get hit with once it reaches the UK. Anyone over here bought from Weta before? What's the service like?

That's ok, it won't come in pieces because there's no cartoony, over-exaggerated flowing robes

Meh...................

Oh shush! At least it's a new statue of a character that hasn't been done before! That's what you normally moan about, right?

They have a UK warehouse so you don't pay any custom, taxes, and shipping is quite cheap

Plus as Josh says you earn Weta dollars which you can use to get a discount on any future orders.

 

[Adolfo]

This is now L/E of 1000....I think the rest of the dwarves will have the same ES and I'm glad

 

[The Josh]

I saw that they added the ES. The rest will probably have it since Thorin, Balin, Dwalin are probably the three most popular.

Thanks for that.
Do you know if they charge straight away or when the order ships??

 

[FrodoEyes]

They say they only charge when the item ships, but when you make a pre-order they hold the amount from your account for a day or two before releasing it back. It's only a pre-authorization, but it annoys me because i only have a debit card and can't really afford it to go off until i know it's shipping.
