Whoa! That weapon's plaque with Aeglos and Isildur's blade. What is that? Unreleased Weta prototype, or some fan custom?

As for my most anticipated/sentimental value LOTR pieces:

2nd age High Elven Noldorin Warrior Statue/PF
Not sure if this project will see the light of day, couse there wasn't any info since that glimpse of Sideshow concept art, over a year ago, but I am hoping. I am a huge fan of the prologue elf armour, outfit and weapons design and a fully realized statue or a figure of it, would be the be all and end all LOTR collectible for me. Fingers crossed.

As for the pieces I allready own:

Weta Ringwraith bust.
The bust itself is nothing special, but it was the very first Sideshow LOTR piece I bought, years ago, back when I was still a youngster and my Middle Earth and Weta Workshop mania was peaking. Also back then it was extremely hard to get such collectibles in my small country. So I was anticipating the postman like crazy. Lots of sentimental value. I am currently in the middle of re-painting it.

Sauron Statue.
This one I bought recently. For a long time it was my favourite LOTR statue, the quintessential Sideshow Weta piece. If I was to limit my Weta collection to only a single item, it would probably be this. However I knew it was very costly, big, sold out and hard to get, plus very expensive to ship overseas. So for a long time I was just drooling at pictures of it on the net. Until a few months ago, to my suprise I found out that there is a local collector near me, that had one and wanted to sell it for a decent price. When the mammoth box finally arrived I was ecstatic.

Yeah there were also a few weapons plaques and helms that weren't released. There was going to be an 'arms of the wizards' plaque as well as some Last Alliance ones...

The Lurtz statue would have been so much cooler than Ugluk.
