Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

Does anyone's tracking info give a delivery date? The info on mine says delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, 7 May by end of day. I don't know if that will really happen, but the last entry says "Shipped" Mine now says in transit and scheduled for delivery by end of day Thursday, May 9th. I...

Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

Yikes, one inch may not seem like a lot but it is a huge miscalculation on Weta's part when everyone is scrambling to come up with ways to display this statue, some of them quite expensive. So he jumped from 40.35" to 41.35"? Okay, I did some formal number crunching and did overstate my c...

Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

Mine is currently "in shipment" ...got the tracking number and it shows the shipment originating in the US, so I guess it will be on my doorstep sometime next week. Dang thing weighs in at almost 70 lbs. I'm hoping that is the combined weight of both cartons. Have you seen any tracking up...

Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

I thought that might be the one you had ordered. I was more curious about the LEDS choices. I don't care for the look of cool white LEDS (too harsh, too "blue-ish"), so given a choice I tend toward the Warm white. But I had (and still have) no idea how something like painted resin looks u...

Waiting on my Moducase and Treebeard at the same time... without a shipping notice for TB, at this rate, the estimated turnaround rate of 15 weeks for the Moducase could mean it might beat Treebeard to my door.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

My credit card is being processed for Treebeard.

My card will soon be weeping, but I'm very excited about this piece. It's hard to believe it will be in hand soon. Waiting for the shipment to make it's way to the east coast will seem like an eternity.

Added note: I also have the King Elessar and Black Gates pieces. So I see no need for yet another Aragorn.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I agree with Deimos. I think it will come with many smaller parts to assemble, which would be the safest way to pack everything. Treebeard may also be the first Weta statue to ship in TWO boxes. Other statue companies pack and ship their largest, most complex pieces in two boxes.
