Re: MRL Lord of the Rings Costumes

I received my gandalf costume from windlass and it's absolutely fantastic, I haven't had time for pictures yet, but there are a few things about it less then desirable, that I feel are post production changes but I could be wrong. I don't know if there was a change, but the cloak is more brown then ...

Re: MRL Lord of the Rings Costumes

I'm surprised that they were even willing to take on a private order, since windlass normally deals to distributors. I just started looking into their discontinued item and they have a note that if you contact them they could possibly do a custom order. I'll get pics up as soon as I get it. I know I...

Re: MRL Lord of the Rings Costumes

Interesting enough, they special ordered the fabric in just for my Order. I received the original Gandalf costume price of 230. I know the legolas price was around 579. These links have a couple of the original Catalog listings. http://scrapbook.theonering.net/scrapbook/group/1124/view/9682 http://s...

Re: MRL Lord of the Rings Costumes

Windlass's Customer service is decent. The only problem is, when you buy direct from them their shipping prices are absolutely horrible direct from India. So If your desperate to get your hands one of their older items, it can't hurt to email them about it. I'm surprised they didn't bring back their...

Re: MRL Lord of the Rings Costumes

Interesting enough, I managed to talk windlass into doing a special order of the Gandalf the grey costume for me. I didn't think it would work out but they were pretty open to putting together a fresh one for me.

It's really disappointing to see that their inventory is deceivingly out of stock now. I really wish that Windlass/Museum replicas would do a re-run. I was e xp ecting it with the hobbit movies, but I guess not.

Re: Factory Second Strider Scabbards?

I don't feel like spending over100 dollars on a scabbard, when i could pay 50 bucks on one that is a little tight on one end. I mean once I get the sword in I'm only wearing it with the aragorn costume I'm putting together, it's no like I'm going to be pulling it out all the time.
