I would say the bare minimum pieces that can almost tell the story by themselves, which is my current plan:

Fellowship busts (I still need Gandalf)....FOTR
Gandalf on Shadowfax.....TTT
Saurman statue.....TTT
Eowyn & Morgul Lord......ROTK
Elessar (still need).....ROTK
Sauron (on his way) :rock ......ties them all together
 
Of all mine, I 'd get rid of the Moria Orc bust... if need be !

But none of the others.
 
If I had to....I would keep

wiki statue
ML
KoTD
Sauron


....I've had a vision of those 4 line up in my head now for many moons now....
 
I would keep all of the statues/environments and lithographs but dump all of the busts (except for Treebeard), helms, weapon sets, medallions and plaques.

If I had to go even further then I would dump the mini beasties, Helm's deep, a few of the Orc statues (pitmaster, orc warrior, orc overseer, orc brute) and Meridoc and his veggies.

John :smokin
 
I have well over 100 now, so it is hard to narrow down. But there are fringe pieces, I would dump all the weapon sets, many of the busts and helms for sure.

Must Keep List:

Treebeard Bust
Gandalf on Shadowfax Statue
Daddy Balrog Statue
Cave Troll Statue
Morgul Lord Statue
RWoS
Gothmog Statue
Sauron (pre-order)
Aragorn at Black Gates (pre-order)
Legolas and Gimli on Arod (pre-order)
Merry Statue
Frodo Statue
Sam and Bill Statue
Pippin Statue
Boromir Statue
Gandalf the Grey Statue
Saruman Statue
Uruk Scout Bust
Witchking Bust
Gandalf the White Bust
Elendil Bust
Galadriel Bust
Galadriel Statue (Pre-order)
Theoden's Helm
Wiki Helm
Elessar Crown

Must stop... :lol

Heck, it would be hard to part with any of the character statues, they are the best pieces of the line.
 
I'd keep all the statues from the first movie and
dump all the rest of the statues, busts, helms, etc..
 
All FOTR statues sounds awesome, FOTR is my favorite Book and best Movie too! Too bad I am missing alot of the FOTR statues! :(
 
My gotta keeps are:

Treebeard Bust
Saruman Statue
Theoden Statue
Morgul Lord Statue
Elessar Statue
Frodo Statue
Boromir Statue
Grima Statue
Baby Balrog Statue
Cave Troll Bust (mine is an AP)
Gandalf on Shadowfax (maybe)

also...I think Galadriel, Sauron and maybe King of the Dead will join these. I would also have said Gothmog is a gotta keep but I couldn't afford to get him at the moment.:rolleyes
 
Going only with pieces I currently own or have pre-ordered, I would keep:

The three lithographs
RWoS
GoSF
LaGoA (Legolas and Gimli on Arod)
AatBG (Aragorn at the Black Gates)
Gothmog on Warg
GTG
KoTD
Uglúk, Uruk-hai Captain Figure
Uruk-Hai Berserker
Morgul Lord
Sauron
Dwarven Lord Bust
Uruk-hai Swordsman Bust
Wounded Orc Bust
Mûmak of Harad
The Golden Hall
The Gondorian Helm Collection
Helm of Theoden
Witch King Crown
'The Duel of Light and Fire' Medallion No. 16
The Arms of Aragorn
'A Meeting of Old Friends' Wall Plaque

I would want at least one example from each line, so that explains the last three entries. Of course, this list would change every five minutes as I thought about it, but the core pieces are probably there somewhere. :lol
 
Ringwraith on Steed
Gandalf on Shadowfax

Balrog (big)
Cave Troll
Witch King

Elessar
Arwen

Arwen Bust

This would be the setup I would keep, I'm actually considering selling the other pieces I have right now and just keep this set, still not sure though....

Actually forgot Sauron and the Barad-Dur litho, only thought of pieces I own now....

Depends in what context, if was broke, didn't know where my next mortgage payment was coming from, didn't have a car etc they all would have to go. SS/Weta are luxury items not vital, push come to shove I think most people would sell them all......

Having said that and waited so long for itto arrive, I would have to be in severe financial difficulty to let the Sauron statue go.
 
RWOS, Treebeard (cool factor), Sauron, Elessar, Frodo, Saruman, Gandalf the Grey, Morgul Lord - but pity the day I have to let any go. :google
 
I think Sauron will be amazing, and I love the collection of Fellowship characters. However, I don't think I could live without the Uruk-hai Scout Swordsman and the Stone Trolls. :rock
 
re

I could not part with the medallions, the lithos, the environments, the bronze patina plaques...and most certainly not Sauron.
 
Re: re

gruson was spot on
all could go except the cave troll and the rwos

oh and my helms they woudnt go anywhere
every thing else has varing degrees of greatness
ranging from moria orcs (@#%$ hot) to legolas bust (cack)
but the c/t and rwos are un sellable imho
