Re: The Hobbit

I'm snoring over here too. I can't speak for Val but as far as I'm concerned all this Hobbit news is becoming tiresome. I'm not taking anything away from Elvengaurd, his dedication to this topic is unparalleled. My issue is with the actual news itself... It really isn't news. No headway, same BS pro...

Re: Isildur's Sword

Thanks Jamanticus and Thranduil! Adding Anduril back into the collection is something I definitely intend to do... just a matter of when. I'm leaning toward Anduril first but seeing as I've never held Isildur's sword and have previously owned Anduril, I thought I might go with Isildur's as it would ...

Re: Isildur's Sword

I know I'm way late in this post so I hope this is the place for it. I was thinking of buying the sword if Isildur but after seeing the pics of the handle I'm not so sure. See, last year I moved and needed some extra cash... ended up selling most of my UC LOTR collection :( a sad story indeed! Howev...

Re: The Sword of Samwise (Museum Collection) Review and Photos

In the past, I've purchased several katanas that were truly old and pitted naturally over time. I just can't see myself spending that kind of money on a new sword which was made to look old. There's really no comparison between an actual weather-beaten sword and one that's trying to be... no matter ...

Re: The Sword of Samwise (Museum Collection) Review and Photos

Hey thanks for the quick reply fellas! One of my fears was that the unlimited edition would look to sterile and generic... sort of why I've been looking around for close-up images to determine my choice of action. Still, not completely sold either way... still teetering on the fence. Anyone know of ...

Re: The Sword of Samwise (Museum Collection) Review and Photos

Hey folks! First off... great review and nice pics! Are there any close up pictures available of the unlimited version of Sam's sword? I haven't been able to find any. I'm very torn between which version to get... I'm not too crazy about the pitting and aged appearance of the sword even though this ...

Re: LOTR coming on BluRay

Olorin, I didn't realize they used seamless branching...it makes perfect sense. In that case they may include both versions after all and they could still maintain top 1080p quality. RevAnakin, I understand what you are getting at but my point was that for King Kong on standard DVD they originally r...

Re: LOTR coming on BluRay

Being that the movies will be released on Blu-Ray disc, which hold 5X the amount of a standard DVD, wouldn't there be a good possibility that both the theatrical and extended versions would be included on the same disc? This is what they did with the King Kong Blu-Ray release so it is probable. Alth...

Re: The Hobbit

Oh I understood the fear and doubt thing, but the way it was portrayed left more to be desired. It didn't seem to make much sense to have have already seen Gandalf stand toe to toe with a balrog and then quiver and cower in the face of a somewhat equal adversary. I'm sure he felt both fear and doubt...

Re: The Hobbit

Not to steer way off the topic of this post but I always wondered about that, Olorin. The Witch King shattering Gandalf's staff that is. That never sat well with me and made Gandalf look like a decrepit old fart. So he slays the balrog and passes through fire and death... only to return and fall ove...

Re: scabbards

Haha... funny you mention it... I DO! And its actually not in bad shape at all. Here are some pics. http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/898/1003649mp2.th.jpg The bidding will start at $400 for the scabbard. lol! http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/2685/1003650sv8.th.jpg This one is just for fun... I c...

Re: scabbards

I have to agree with everything said here as well. I don't believe I'd ever find the time to create my own and if I did, they probably wouldn't look nearly as good as what this man has done. True skill here. I've been looking around for scabbards for both Hadhafang and Elven Warrior Sword and have h...

Re: The Hobbit

I found similar news on http://the-hobbit-movie.com/ It also includes a link to a hobbit screenplay adaptation which seems interesting. http://www.storyscape.net/hobbit_screenplay.html Haven't read it yet but I'm planning to momentarily. I don't believe its anything official but provides some though...

Sweeney Todd Razors

Neca has put out official replicas of these razors and I am very interested in buying one because I loved the movie so much. I then came across a fan based company called Acme who also produce these replicas. I have seen both of these for sale on eBay. Acme claims that there's are selling better and...

Re: Swords from Eragon the Movie

The only other movie replica to come out is the Limited Edition Prop Replica of Tristan's Sword from Stardust. It's due out sometime in the spring and is being advertised as... • One of the Finest Replica Swords Ever Forged • Tempered High Carbon Steel • Full Tang Construction • Perfectly Balanced a...

Re: New Sword of the Ancients

I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the Swords of the Ancients Collection but Exotath is alright in my book. I don't think I'd buy it but I do like the over all shape and look. The cross-guard, handle, and pommel have a nice design although I do agree with Ted to an extent that certain parts ...

Re: Noble Swords

I know I'm a bit late on this thread but I purchased a Noble Collection Glamdring and I must say that for the price, it is not worth it. I contacted NC right away after I received it and wrote a very strongly worded email complaining about the lack of quality for the cost. I ended up returning it fo...

Re: Weapon ideas for upcoming Hobbit movie & LOTR prequels

Yes, it would not make much sense at all for Orcrist to have a curved blade like Hadhafang. I'm unsure if this is included in any of Tolkien's literature or if its just screen adapted details but Hadhafang supposedly belonged to Turgon's daughter originally and was later reshaped and molded to appea...

Re: Weapon ideas for upcoming Hobbit movie & LOTR prequels

Ok, here is my rendition of Orcrist... keep in mind that this is just rough concept and in no way are these official designs. I just thought it'd be fun to tinker around to see what I could come up with. Going off of the broadsword idea suggested by Grey Pilgrim, in Photoshop I took the Glamdring cr...

Re: Weapon ideas for upcoming Hobbit movie & LOTR prequels

I never considered Orcrist being a broadsword but I like the idea. Seems fitting now that I think of it seeing that it was retrieved and used by Thorin Oakenshield, a dwarf. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for him to wield a hand and a half sword like Glamdring being that dwarfs are smaller th...

Re: Weapon ideas for upcoming Hobbit movie & LOTR prequels

Hey there, Urambo... I'm glad someone finally decided to comment on my thread. I was begining to think I was the only one thinking in terms of the future movies and weapons... of course to some it may be pointless to speculate so early in the game but I for one love "what if's." I agree th...

Underworld Sword of Vikor

As a fan of the Underworld films I just had to have this sword. There were several versions made but the one made by Factory X is far better looking than the others. I love the sturdy and lightweight feel of this replica. The leather wrapped handle along with cross gaurd and pommel design are impeci...

Re: Swords from Eragon the Movie

My apologies if I offend anyone here but I think these Eragon swords are ugly... Hideous would be an understatement. I too have seen the film and the part that disappointed me the most was knowing I'd never get the time I waisted watching it back... Harsh, i know. The only blade that somewhat captur...

Re: Sparrows sword

Gotcha. Most helpful Grima! My LE Sparrow sword number is 1463/3000. One thing I decided to do to add to the display of this sword was to tie a replica of Jack's hair beads (piece of 8) to the top of the hilt so it drapes down the middle of the blade while it hangs... looks nice! Also, to the side o...

Re: Sparrows sword

I agree with you Grima. My girlfriend bought me the LE Sparrow sword from MR and it does feel a bit small. When I held it, it did feel like a tight fit for my hand as well... but seeing that it is a cutlass it may be the correct size. I am pleased with it over all though. The aging was nicely done a...
