Lord of the Rings Figures

[Mainland05]

nice map there.

[Mainland05]

how is collecting in your guys's area?  

[Darby]

It's kind of quiet right now.  There aren't a lot of figures hitting at the moment, mostly only from ROTK.  I'm pretty much waiting for the Armored Witch-King wave.

[Mainland05]

i know i really want some news now!!!!!!!!!!

[Darby]

Toy Fair is coming up real soon, and that ought to bring some more news and pics.  I expect it will also wrap up that pesky Balrog question.

[Mainland05]

yes, i suppose we can wait patiently, but when is Toy Fair 04' again?

[Scott]

I haven't personally spotted all of the new ROTK figs yet but Morgbug covered me from up yonder...just waiting for the next batch I guess...

I saw the Trilogy Twilight Frodo this morning. Unfortunately it was £25 which must be well over $40. It's a shame because I really wanted to get this figure at a reasonable price, but wherever I see the new figures the stuff that was always HTF (TF, Prologue EW, Elrond etc.) the prices have been hiked WAY above the more common ones. It's just as bad as before. And in the UK there isn't much of a retail market so I may never get some of these figures despite all the re-releases

[Scott]

Is Twilight Frodo still a chase (in the Trilogy line)  and do you still want mine Nick???

[Mainland05]

yes, i beleive he still is!

I don't know if he's still a chase.  I saw one today in a collector shop today, but I finally managed to make a trade for one.  Thanks though, Scott.

I'd like to find a Twilight Frodo. The only FOTR Trilogy figures I find are Boromir and the Witchking.

Well, that's not the whole truth. I did find Elrond and Arwen at Suncoast last weekend, but only one of each.

[Nicklab]

From what I hear, the Arwen is different from the one from the horse and rider set.  Is this true?

[Ben]

Yup. She has slightly resculpted hands, and includes Hadhafang, her sword. She still fits on her horse, so that's good. She lights up too.

There's a variation supposedly floating around that has a white Evenstar instead of the yellow one, but mine is still yellow.

I'd like to find the Trilogy Gandalf the Grey. That has a newly sculpted head to it.

[Darby]

Me, too.  Although I may wait and see what the new Gandalf the Grey coming later in the year looks like first.
