Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

FYI, Theodred's sword is now "in stock" at BudK. I already put in my order! https://www.budk.com/Lord-of-the-Rings-Sword-of-Th%C3%A9odred-Officially-Lic-50485 I picked up one yesterday as well. After trying to have a handful of different localish swordsmiths change out the leather for me ...

Do you want me to keep an eye out for you for the set during Black Friday? That seems to be exactly the set that will hit $69-79 around the end of November.

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I literally just took that from one of Drew Hall’s comments in that screenshot above. Word for word. I added the, “They’re apparently now” to the second sentence, but those are his words. It sounds like he did not understand what was being sampled and got confused by the 'steel' in the finish descr...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Two samples of the Rohan spear were sent in. A steel version and a resin version. They’re apparently now going to do a cost analysis to see which is the cheaper option. Not sure where that is coming from, but it's dead wrong. The poly sample I have looks really cool, and it is going to be made. Jus...

Re: UC Carbon Steel Anduril ??

As a completist, I would buy anything that’s new from LotR. I think I own a few Hobbit pieces, but couldn’t say off the top of my head what they are, as they’re not on display. I would love some new MC pieces. And would again buy anything new for LotR. On another note, I recently held my high school...

Re: RIP Thranduil

This is heartbreaking news. Andrew was a great man and craftsman. I feel lucky and blessed to own some of his works and I will cherish them as the treasures they are in my collection. Rest well, friend. “And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of...

UK Friends

Hey UK friends! Would anyone who lives in the UK be able to help me out? Long story short, my wife loves Love Island. Don’t get me wrong, the drama is pretty funny at times. But she’s been wanting an official water bottle from the merch store, but it only ships to the UK and I’m based in the US. I w...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Random question, Josh. Has anyone actually confirmed that Drew works for UC? I don’t want to be all “conspiracy theory” but I’ve wondered if he would actually be allowed to post an official UC question from his personal account. UC tends to be pretty tight with their brand.

Re: Game Of Thrones

Very good points, SH, and it could be you're right. The problem comes with the show playing so fast and loose with time and distance. What I do know is that Westeros is a fairly big continent, and that Winterfell is at the far northern end, and King's Landing, though not in the utter south, is not ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

One small diversion back to the conversation at hand of whether or not Cersei is pregnant and if the timing is wrong: Many women don’t begin showing their baby bump well into the 4th month of the pregnancy. My wife was almost 18 weeks with our first daughter, before the bump began being noticeable. ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

The leaks / rumors / spoilers were true. Maybe like Dexter, I can pretend the last season doesn’t exist and enjoy everything else for what it was.

I’m at a loss for words with what I just watched.

Re: Game Of Thrones

As you may have heard, some spoilers have been circulating about the ending. They were dead on about episode 4. I’ve read them and... well... you’ll see. I’ll say only this: I hope to god that they’re fake. I also read said spoilers. And they were incredibly dead on with episode 4. A friend texted ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I haven’t posted much lately, but I do want to say something in defense of Arya. She has spent her story arc attempting to avenge those that she loves and those who she has seen be wronged. When she travels to Bravvos, her desire is to become a faceless girl. Someone who can sneak through the shadow...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Pulled the trigger on Bag End and The Green Dragon. Neither is worth the original price but 2 fer $150 ($181 with shipping) is good. Green Dragon I could pass on, but Bag End will look nice on my bookshelf next to all my Tolkien books. GD will go up there too, but BE is the one that belongs there. ...

Re: Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FRIENDS!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day spent with family or friends. And if you do not celebrate, I hope you have a lovely day off, possibly watching the trilogy. @Deimos, we definitely won’t be having a white Christmas here in SoCal, but it’s expected to rain most of ...

Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

Congratulations everyone!! I’m incredibly jealous. With only having Weta’s Rohan pieces, it’s been easy to justify the “no” when certain pieces come out. But I had this one in my cart, ready to seal the deal, but just couldn’t. With my wife pregnant with kiddo #2, I just kept thinking about my wife ...

That someone was me and I was literally quoting Kit, so the source of that info seems pretty legit lol

I was waiting to see if any sales came up for that one, but I guess that's not going to happen. I need to go ahead and order it. I'll regret it later if I don't.
Hey Kit,
Sent you a PM about the Eomer statue. I’m going to be selling mine, and so you wouldn’t have to rush to buy one.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Question: I’m three payments into Eomer and have sadly made the decision that I don’t need him in my collection. How does one go about cancelling and getting refunded for the paid money? I want this to go as smooth as possible and don’t want to get wrapped up in their customer service issues, if pos...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

I'm just going to drop this link in here since it covers a lot of ground. http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2018/04/07/104853-there-is-a-cornucopia-of-tolkien-stories-coming-this-year/ Of special note are a Tolkien biopic (starring Nicolas Hoult, well-known to most of us as Hank McCoy from the more r...

Re: Hurricane Harvey

Hey BC! While I'm sorry to hear of the damage to the floors, I'm glad the damage wasn't more severe for you. I think I speak for everyone when I say that if there's anything we can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. As far as your helms go, humidity rusts the hell out of the Isildur and Elendil helm...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I accidentally watched the new episode from tomorrow night. My wife and I have been about a week behind in watching due to our newborn and me starting back up the new school year. So my HBO Go account wasn't loading on either the PS4 or the FireStick. So I loaded Kodi and went to load Game of Throne...

Re: Update/Downtime

I personally like the dark background with white or light text ala the old forum. There's a comfort in things when you've logged into the same place for nine years and see the same thing.

Re: What are you reading?

Just finished reading the Dark Tower series again and wow... Picture a grown man sitting in his car in the school parking lot crying over the ending of one of his favorite book series. Now that I've finished a slew of Stephen King, I just started Fellowship of the Ring on audio. I really enjoy the s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Didn't know where else to post this: could someone with a few minutes to spare log out of their account on the Flame of Udun forum and then try to open and view any thread in the Weta section, please? All day today, on separate devices, I have been unable to read any threads although I can still se...

Re: What are you reading?

Nick, let me know if you like Ender's Game. I have Ender in Exile which is a prequel to the second book, Speaker of the Dead (so in theory is actually the second book, though written many years later) and Ender's Shadow, which is a parallel book to Ender's Game from the perspective of Beam. And by h...

Re: What are you reading?

You aren't missing anything :) I have 14 tattoos and most of them come from my favorite book series. I have one from The Dark Tower series, three (soon to be five) Harry Potter tattoos, the mark of a pirate from Treasure Island, the tree of Gondor on my back, and various other book inspired stuff. A...

Re: What are you reading?

Definitely read The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's his homage to The Lord of the Rings and other epic fantasy stories. And it's even better if you listen to the audio books. I have Roland's revolver as one of my many book tattoos. Ka is a wheel that forever turns! Here is the opening line t...

Re: The Hobbit

For what it's worth, my wife ordered it on Amazon (US) November 17, and as we're Prime Members, it will be arriving Sunday (Amazon has been delivering things on Sunday's when you do the 2-day Prime Shipping). So it says it's in the mail. And the tracking is working on USPS's website. She ordered me ...

Re: Your favourite unnamed Middle Earth sword/dagger

It's a long story that includes my dad selling my first one at a garage sale...And then a ten year search for a replacement. And then in the span of 6 months, I found just the sword in a Sporting Goods store in Northern California, and then a guy was selling his on MyArmoury. If you're looking for o...
