Lord of the Rings Figures

[Morgbug]

Seem to be in the past now, but I picked up Elendil, Gil Galad and Shelob.  Losing control? 

Well..for once you got figures in before the most of the states. 
 At least no one has posted any major news on scoring these at the den....What do you think of Elendil and Gil Galad??

Gil Galad is interesting, though as with all of these figures, the paint seems slightly askew.  Still, very nice figures.  I'm more concerned about my drifting to less than major characters than anything else   I'll leave these in the package for now though. 

Thanks for the tip Dale.  Now to calculate whether it's cheaper to get here or have it sent from the US   $29.99 US I believe?

No big deal...but picked up a Merry in Armor figure yesterday (finally).  I have seen it for awhile, but finally talked the wife into letting me pick it up while at Target yesteday (nothing new Star Wars wise).  I know this is old news, but I really like this figure...very well done I think.  Now I'm waiting on the upcoming releases of Aragorn, Frodo, and Sam.  And that's it....really....I'm serious....I hope .

Gil Galad wave hit several retailers up here.  I picked up a Moria Orc Archer, but left the rest.  Never did see a Lurtz.  Nice to see an influx of figures again, maybe post summer restock? 

Still resisting paying for Hobbitses.  Cannot bring myself to do so.

You have a problem with the wee characters it seems...although the Gungans are rather large

[Morgbug]

Yeah, inverse short man syndrome, I guess?   

I consider Gungans to be offspring, in a metaphorical sense of the Ewoks, so that's easily explained away

Part of it is these little half size figures for full price.  Silly, isn't it.  Also most 'good' Hobbitses are in the half moon packaging, so end up around $15 CAD total after taxes.  Too much.

Found King Elendil and Moria Orc Archer today. Strangely, no Gil Galad or Elrond, but the 1x per case Orc was still there.

I'll never figure this hobby out.

According to TheGD.com TTT Series 3 has now started to show up...in Japan.  Not quite here yet, but should at least be on the way.  Some might not be too excited about these, but I've been waiting to get an Aragorn and Frodo for my collection, and there are "super poseable" versions of each of these included in this wave.  Looking forward to them.  Wave includes:  Super Poseable Helm's Deep Aragorn, Super Poseable Frodo, Gamling, Boromir: Captain of Gondor, and the Isengard Orc.

Wow, Amazon has Gil Galad, KIng Elendil and 11th Birthday Bilbo!

[jadesfire]

I just ordered Gil Gilad and Earendil from amazon.  Total cost was just over twenty bucks but since Walmart is still stuffed to the rafters with Moria Frodo and Sam and the GITD king, I figure I might as well just cough up the extra cash and get these two guys online.  I'm hoping when the next wave hits, at least Target might restock with new stuff.

[Nicklab]

Since I saw at least 2 new Trilogy figures, and had a couple of other things to order (Marvel Legends Urban Legends & a DVD), I figured I might as well order.  Gil Galad and Elendil look like two of the coolest figures to come around in some time.  Now I can really start building a Fellowship Prologue diorama!

[Ben]

Grrr...stupid moving expenses....

Eh. I'll have to chance 'em at retail if they aren't at Amazon in a couple weeks.

[Morgbug]

I can help you out if need be Ben.  Lots showing up around here.  They are bi-logo though, so if you're a carded guy it might not work.  They work out to about $7.50 US after taxes.  Everything has been easy to find except Lurtz and Orc Archer, though I have one that would be eventually destined for ebay if you don't want it.  It's a really neat figure too, the eyes are really cool.  I'm tempted to keep it, but for that blowing my restricted focus all to ****.

[Ben]

They have yet to really hit here, and it will be 2-3 weeks before I'm able to get back into the game, so I'll wait until then.

I might hit you up for a Lurtz, since I don't think those are shipping in the US, but I'm totally confused about that.

[Morgbug]

No worries.  I have yet to see a Lurtz up here, but they have shown up on bilogo cards.  My buddy here that collects LOTR got his already.  Also has his Cirith Ungol Uruk-Hai and the rest of that wave, though I haven't seen it on pegs yet.  I got my Shelob from him, not sure if I'm keeping it.  Need the Arwen for my daughter though.

In the past 24 hours, I scored Elrond of Rivendell, Gil Galad, Elendil & 11th Birthday Bilbo.  Toy Biz has really come through with some good stuff in this line.
