It's not easy waiting like this for something you've been anticipating for months, even years, but I still believe our patience will be rewarded eventually, and all the waiting around will all be forgotten. But when?! I've got a gut feeling we'll get an anouncement sometime between April and SDCC, or at the latest, during SDCC. Honestly speaking, Sideshow's figure bodies could use a few upgrades, and it may just be that's what's taking so long. Anyway, they're going to have to design new bodies for hobbits and Gimli at the very least, and hopefully some larger/taller bodies for uruks and wraiths, too. Some of those bodies would also work for the Star Wars line, as well. (Like Yoda and a certain tall, hairy chap who talks kinda funny and rips the heads off of stormtroopers!)
:chew
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm prepared to wait as long as it takes. There are plenty of other things to collect in the meantime.
