Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

Interesting. Disney seems to be being run either by committee of late, or Bob Iger has developed Multiple Personality Disorder. Their policies and ideas have been all over the map, and I wonder if the increasing criticism and financial disappointment of their latest movie offerings (Indy 5 as an exa...

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

Excellent news all around, even if I'm living in a fantasy world because in reality I have almost zero space left for anything, but say I did... when you say Lorien "daggers", are we 100% talking plural, as in a display that includes both, or would UC view that as too redundant and only re...

Re: Big News

Congrats again, you guys look awesome and so very happy! :thumbs_up :coolsmile My only question is... why is Chuck Norris not in any of your pics? You can't call yourself a Texas Ranger and not have the OG himself in attendance! Besides, he'd make a great bouncer if any friends or family get out of ...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yeah... I just checked the money tree I planted in my backyard but... it stubbornly refuses to give fruit. In all seriousness, as pretty as this thing is, the cost in Canadian dollars alone is, wait for it... $3925, and as I continuously have to remind my southern friends, the spending power of a do...

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

Hmmmm, I'm not so sure they'll go down in value. I'm thinking about how Master Replicas lightsabers have continued to hold their value despite all the various companies online now that make more accurate replicas, not to mention the uber accurate ones you find at places like the RPF. The HCG is a h...

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

I see the writing on the wall... time to think about putting my HCG Lorien bow for sale, as well as my peacock quiver and arrows? I've a feeling those will plummet in value once UC's versions come out one day. Also, if UC makes further bows, could they please come with a vertical display this time i...

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

Andrew, could you give me the plaque dimensions as if you fitting it into a square shape? I'm currently putting my swords on my walls and space is very limited but I do want to plan for this sword and make sure I have space for it prepared ahead of time. Oh, and the sword length also, please. Thank ...

That was an "available now" notice, not a tease. They should be shipping early next week. I looked at a few of them the day the shipment came in.
In that case... party time! :cheering:

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Loving the fountain guard. What do you think of it Val? What can I say? Its pure awesomeness embodied in polystone. Whether you're a fan of anything Gondor-related or simply like the design of the Fountain Guard, this has answered a lot of twenty years-old prayers. I've heard that there will be two...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Well, that was a very courteous and gentlemanly explanation and apology. Based on that, I think Kit will be retracting his demand for a duel to the death with Dan... pistols at ten paces! :laugh: Pity Dan didn't elaborate on the minor issue of the shield tip protector. I'm still curious if that's go...

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

Let's just say I'm glad I didn't give into my impulse of selling my original one when I heard it was being reissued. I'm pretty sure it will still be released at some point, but just in case it doesn't, it would suck selling that rare sword for a bunch of money, then having to buy it back later for ...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I'll take Daniel's word for it and not fuss over the shield size or the different-looking backside, though I am curious how Kit will react to "United Cutlery had invented a back for the regular soldier's version of the shield when they made their prop replica version some years ago, but we didn...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

It's a cool statue ... no doubt about it. For $699 I would have thought he came with a sword at his side ("his sword was long, his lance was keen" ) I know that is from the book and not the movie, but he still [realistically] would have carried a sword. How much was Elendil? So now they a...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

The High King of the Noldor has been revealed and is up for a timed pre-order of two weeks. https://www.wetanz.com/king-gil-galad?dm_i=6XI1,93XJ,3Q7VOO,11F5Q,1 All yours for the knockout-punch price of $699. xP Yeah, I'm getting one, but at these prices, safe to say this will be my last Premium or M...

Re: The War of the Rohirrim

More forced feminism and revisionist 'updates' shoved down our throats by hijacking a story and world that we all love, and twisting it to spread your own personal message and agenda. When the writer of this thing has to lead with " Before you start complaining. ..", then you know you've g...

Re: Picard returns!

I'll pick up just the Blu-ray of the third season. Bill Hunt of the Digital Bits recently had a diatribe about how it should be being released on 4K. He had been hoping that they would do a 4K set of all three seasons of Picard. If at some point they would do that, I would go back and pick up the t...

Re: Picard returns!

In addition to releasing season 3 on home media, in addition to releasing all three seasons in a box for home media, they are also releasing every bit of JLP in a box: 7 seasons of TNG, 4 movies, and 3 seasons of Picard: https://trekmovie.com/2023/06/16/star-trek-picard-season-3-arriving-on-blu-ray...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Rereading a brief discussion that was had in another thread about uniforms, I suddenly recalled this picture that someone posted in an article recently and figured it would be cool to post (for anyone who hasn't seen it). Basically, it depicts the TOS crew in their correct uniform colours had they g...

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

UC is moving the white staff to their regular LOTR polyresin factory, so that's actually coming back late this year or early next. I was told about it, so I suggested they get rid of that metal bracket and go with one of the modern poly displays to match the other UC staffs. I also suggested they u...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Havent gotten a 4K TV yet, I think the next TV purchase will be one, but I dont think I am going to buy one to buy one. Between myself and my fiance we have 8 TVs :crazy2: we definitely dont need any new tvs now 8 TVs?I! I thought I had too many at 6. :crazy: My advice? Sell four of them and buy on...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I agree with everything you've said. I love having the physical copy but cost and space is becoming an issue, especially now that I am combining households. I have also become "lazy" as in, even if I own the physical copy, I will first watch the streaming version just so I dont have to go...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

On one hand, I wouldnt mind DS9 and Voyager getting some remastering, but on the other hand, after all these years being all about physical media, I dont know if I'd actually buy them :P Now if they were streaming remastered, I'd definitely give them another watch. I agree on two counts: cost and s...
