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

Guards on the boromir swords are off... Gap between the blade and quillons are off if you look at them. Didnt notice before ditching the shipper and return label or it'd have been back out the door... Can't really say I'm surprised. Theres always something with UC QC lol. This has lead me to avoid ...

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

Dont tell the masses this otherwise everyone is going to ask me to inspect prior to shipping :p. Wasn't so bad before but now with 100+ pre-orders, I might need to hire someone for shipping day! I just checked, and the current stock of Herugrim were made over a year ago. It sounded like this was th...

While we're on the subject of your prices, did you receive my order? ;)
I got the form, sending out the invoices this weekend :D

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

Pardon my ignorance but what does 'MAP' stand for? Minimun Advertising Price. It is in all UC dealer contracts since September of 2019 that UC can set minimum prices that we advertise our items at. As such, you'll see my website prices are a tad higher than my old prices, but I now offer discounts ...

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

I never quite understood it though. If my whole business model was to buy a sword at $180 and sell at $150. UC is still getting the same amount. The only time it hurts them is if they have a retail arm. In this case of course that is BUDK. But BUDK does not ship internationally, so if I want to sel...

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

So $627 on UC ... $356.99 on Budk like most have been I'd bet. ... and after 5 or 6 months $239.98 discounted. Provided they don't sell out. And if your patient, wait on another one of those 15% off anything codes to negate shipping and tax. Suprised that worked on the Boromir sword preorder. I can...

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

MAP has killed me some because I kept under cutting BUDK for advertised price. But I have found other ways to save my customers that money. Unfortunately, Amazon and ebay sellers have made enforcing MAP a necessity for manufacturers these days. I have seen many successful products killed over the y...

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

No clue. Every company does the suggested retail price differently, but that's all it is - a suggestion for dealers. I tried to get that MSRP thing killed at the old UC years ago, as I thought it was a silly and outdated way of making people perceive they are getting a deal, since almost no one sel...

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

Just a reminder to everyone, Castle Kon is still taking preorders! https://castle-kon.square.site/ or @castlekon on Facebook or via castlekon@gmail.com Coupon Code "AULE" gets $10 off per sword on the website. DOH!!! Why didn't I read this? I filled out my pre-order form two days ago and ...

Do you have any date estimates of the 3 new items in production? I keep hearing they should go on pre-order soon.
What items are are talking about? Eomer and the horn? I mentioned those above :)
Yes, sorry about that. Should have read a little further. Thanks!
No worries brother!

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

Can anyone confirm the re-release of the Anduril scabbard for December as noted on page 82 in the thread? I thought it was mentioned it was on the BudK site but I couldn't find it anywhere but I did see the Boromir sword pre-order. Would be great to see the re-release of some scabbards as I missed ...

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

Does anyone have the shipping weight of Sauron's helm? One person posted 75 pounds but I simply don't believe it weighs as much as a teenage girl. They may as well have said 75 kg, that's so ridiculous. Maybe if it was actually made of metal... I'm guessing it's more in the neighborhood of 15 pound...

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

Well, thank heavens for Kit because it never ceases to amaze me how misinformed these UC folks are on a consistent basis. So is the new mold an actual improvement on the previous resin one, or is it the exact same, just newer? The UC sales rep only has access to whatever details are in their system...

I have never heard the production was cancelled because of breakage issues. Someone at UC told you that?

Yes, I asked if I could get more when 80% of mine came in cracked and I was told they were putting production on hold until they figured out the issue.

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

Some people on FB suggested that these (being so low in number, and so long after the previous runs) could be replacements for broken items.... But besides these 2 pieces - I have not heard of any others to make a come back. Note that we (the sellers) are being told that those 1500 limited runs wer...

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

I heard the Moria staff sold out instantly, so that was good. They are making another run. The spear head would be metal. I'm sure the helm would be poly, as they do not have a reliable factory that can do the metal helms. I'll have to find a good substitute for horse hair, because that part can't ...

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

Sorry for the delay. I literally just found out about it all yesterday from a customer. But here we go: Castle Kon is currently taking pre-orders for the United Cutlery Illuminated Moria Staff Of Gandalf And Display Plaque Length 66” Price is $195 + Shipping Shipping rates international are as follo...

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

I have bought 30 and only have 28 preorders. So currently I have two in reserve. As for if more get determined to be not good enough, I can buy three at a time from BUDK. But no more... So silly. That is if UC has none left. Any and all items bought from me can be inspected and photographed at the r...

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

Rev will you inspecting them before sending them out or are we just having them sent to us straight from UC? From our previous talk on Facebook you know why I'm asking lol. So sick of BUDK lmao. If you're not its fine. I just thought I'd ask. Any and all items bought from me can be inspected and ph...

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

Sorry guys... I had to find out that my UC rep changed again while asking about my shipment. I can't imagine many other companies not sending notification emails when you are assigned a new account manager. But I was given every excuse in the book as why my order was not shipped, but it pretty much ...
