Re: BudK Order Issues

Yes, allosaur176 is correct. When I went back through all my bank records, it wasn't paid in full. It was weird as I had ordered half a dozen items which were in different stages of release, so I was charged and refunded the full amount then charged different amounts as the items were all shipped; t...

Re: BudK Order Issues

So 2 phone calls and a few emails later and my order has been sorted. Sword of Thranduil has finally arrived today; slightly less than stellar packing, but everything appears intact. Not the worst buying e xp erience, but definitely not as good as it should have been. Future purchases will most like...

BudK Order Issues

As excited as I have been to receive my copy of Thranduil's sword, it appears the 'unlikely' may be closer to 'impossible'. I placed an order on 12/22/13 for this along with the Orcrist scabbard and sword of Kili, both of which I have received on release. However, this morning I woke to an email fro...

Re: What is everyone playing these days?

So the latest footage really has me excited for the release of The Witcher III. Not many games that I pre-order these days, due to the obvious delays, underwhelming deliveries and buggy releases that seem to plaque the current games. However, this is definitely one company and franchise that I have ...

Re: New Movies

I have just come to accept that what passes for "reviews" these days is just usually one person's heavily biased opinion; and that more often than not, it differs quite a bit from mine. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but that's not what a review is... especially when you go as far...

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

[quote=""Nasnandos""]Well, as I always say, don't ever put any stock in those 'release dates'.[/quote] True statement...though you would think they could at least get close. I placed my order for Thranduil's sword well over a year ago. Yes, it was a pre-order; but 14+ months is q...

[quote=""Deimos""]Before Costner and Reeves the prize for the worst English accent went to Dick van Dyke as the Chimney sweep Bert in Mary Poppins. [/quote] Wait, you mean everyone in the UK doesn't sound like that? Next you're going to tell me that everyone from Australia doesn'...

Re: The Hobbit

A little off the current topic, and also includes LotR info, but I stumbled across this little infographic today (I use to be a graphic designer so maybe I just appreciate this kind of thing more than I should) and thought I would share it here. http://www.fhm.com/App_Media/Uploads/Images/Original/J...

Re: What is everyone playing these days?

Bad? I actually really enjoyed Shadow of Mordor. Great combat, the 'Nemesis enemy system' was pretty cool as well and then of course there is all the lore. My only complaint was the lack of difficulty options, and that I had completed the game (100%...everything, achievements and all) in about 30 ho...

Re: New Movies

I have always loved the Sin City graphic novels. The movie was really well done, some of the scenes matched pages from the novels almost exactly. Really looking forward to this new one too. Glad to hear you enjoyed the new ninja turtle movie BC. I too actually really enjoyed watching it. All of my f...

Re: What is everyone playing these days?

Yea, I completely agree with you. The state of developers in the industry right now is really disappointing. There seem to be so many short cuts, cover-ups, half truths and even straight up lies out there that it makes me reconsider my policy about not buying used games (or even pirating). There are...

Re: New Movies

[quote=""BladeCollector""]My DREAM is that DOFP gave everyone so much confidence in XMen that it will launch an X-Cinematic Universe with X-Factor/X-Force/Excalibur movies :crazy: and I beg of the Xmen movie people... PLEEEEASE put Mr Sinister in a movie... PLLEEEEEEASE preferabl...

Re: New Movies

Nerdanel, I agree with a lot of what you are saying, however much of what you say is true about many movies in general nowadays. Hollywood does have some goofs/errors/situations that they just can't seem to grasp or do away with (ex. outrunning radioactive contamination down an infinitely long corri...

Re: What is everyone watching these days?

Hmm, that's a little disheartening to hear, though I still plan on seeing it tonight with my roommate. I have one friend I refuse to watch movies with, because he has that exact problem where he refuses to turn off his brain. I know he can, he just won't; and he ruins it for everyone. I on the other...

Re: The Hobbit

You might be thinking of STARZ... I know HBO had a bit of a reputation for that, but its not like they are adding it to series just because...that's honestly the way those books are written. I'm thinking more of the gritty battle scenes and the no-nonsense characters from the series. Can you imagine...

Re: The Hobbit

Anyone else wishing that HBO had been given the task of The Hobbit? Could you imagine seeing Middle Earth, presented by the same folks that brought us Westeros? I know The Hobbit is really a children's/young adult adventure story, but there is such a rich, dark undertone. Seeing it in a gritty and u...

Re: Hello from Australia

As much as I like Eoywn's "I am no man!" scene, I can't make that same claim....Hey, I'm a guy! (Rose is my last name.)

On the topic of the thread, welcome! Always glad to have another enthusiast, male or female, join our family!

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

I've been using a product called Tuf-Cloth on my collection, found on amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Sentry-Solutions-TUF-CLOTH-Resealable-12-Inch/dp/B000E892Z2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395698312&sr=8-1&keywords=tuf-cloth ). It is basically just a mineral spirits soaked cloth, but it is v...

Re: Which old UC item would you like to return most?

Yea, I'm with Val. I'm fine with any of the non LE items being put back into production (as I have nearly every weapon they have produced so far). However, I would much prefer they focus on Hobbit and LotR stuff they haven't made yet....OOOOOOOORRRRRR, they could focus on their quality assurance iss...

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

A little off topic, but I would have LOVED those blades Kit! I have been an enormous fan of that game series, and tho I enjoyed the film, those blades just didn't hold up to the game pieces. That said, from what you had to go with, you did a pretty darn good job. Back on subject, I can't wait for th...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Red paint? That sounds horrible, sorry to hear about that. Sounds like a "returnable offence", or at least an email to customer service. I got mine in the mail a few days ago and it looks nearly identical to the image on their site. Seems like QC is slipping throughout the industry, along ...
