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. Yup, ...

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

I'd be more excited if they actually had the courage to release new ones, but I'm happy for those that missed out on the originals. I hear ya, Val. So if you could get your UC wish, which new scabbard would you like to see offered? I'd be happy with any of the Rohan scabbards myself. Guthwine for s...

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

I have decided to sell my Dain Hammer. I cannot find where any have been sold lately and there doesn’t seem to be any for sale either. Are they rare? Can anyone shed light on its current market value? What do you think of your Dain hammer, Idril? I never pulled the trigger on them when they were st...

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

The sample has not been approved by licensing, so technically I'm not supposed to post photos yet. I'll just post these and ask the question. Is this the prop? Or the replica? :) http://www.kitrae.net/fantasy/images/Hobbit%201/Eomer%20Helm%20front.jpg http://www.kitrae.net/fantasy/images/Hobbit%201...

Re: RIP, Sir Ian Holm

I know I'm late but I have to echo the sentiment of gratitude to Sir Ian Holm. He's one whose performances would elevate any film he was in and he was always a pleasure to watch. Truly one of the greats. May he rest in peace.

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

Ah yes HCG! My mistake! I couldn't remember which company made it so I looked up the first website I found that still has it listed (out of stock of course) and typed the manufacturer number "MC-LOTR1" in the search bar and "Master Cutlery" came up. I wanted to hurry up and reply...

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

Man... I can sure shut a conversation down. :'( I swear i showered... :embarasse Hahaha. Alright let's talk about something... I know this is a Hobbit thread but since we discuss a lot of LOTR props also...was there ever an interest in making Strider's bow? Ronin to the rescue, alright! :crazy: Ign...

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

Wow that looks great, Kit! I have to say I used to be a sceptic of how well resin could replicate a "metal" prop but thanks to some replicas I bought in the past year, I've become a believer. Like Kit said, the quality of the paint job is key. If you can't pull that off then it doesn't mat...

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

Kit, can I ask you a question? Forgive me as I've brought this up a few times but I'm really curious as to what UC's mindsight is in regard to reissuing scabbards. Do they believe there's any market viability there? I certainly understand not investing into producing new scabbards for the lesser kn...

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

I thought Budk had always carried Windlass products on and off over the years? UC - the old one and the current one - used Windlass as a vendor several times. I'm pretty sure they have not yet made the full edition of the Mirkwood helm, as I mentioned here 4 or 5 months ago when i was asked. Anothe...

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

I noticed something interesting surfing around the interwebs just now. I see Budk is selling Darksword Armory swords including their LOTR replica/inspired swords line. I've never seen a license holder of a major franchise selling another company's unofficial replicas. When I first decided to jump in...

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

Sam's sword and the Bearded Axe are a welcome return for myself but I do hope more new items are in the pipeline. We know Guthwine and Boromir's Horn are coming. I believe the new Amazon show will definitely resurge an interest in Middle-Earth but ONLY IF it's a good show which I have my doubts that...

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

Hmmmmm, I see Budk's LOTR section has the Gauntlet of Sauron listed. However when you click on it, it takes you to "Home & Garage" lol. I know Budk has a history of relisting items haphazardly but considering the Mace and Helm have returned, the Gauntlet returning as well seems likely....

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

Yes Lindir, you're not me, but you summed up my thoughts perfectly. lol :thumbs_up The only Noble weapon replica I own is Deathless, and that's because UC never made one. I think it is a decent product, but the painted blade is a downer for sure. I don't recall hearing much about Sting at the time ...

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

I’m not Val, but I haven’t seen the Noble replicas firsthand with the exception of Deathless, Thorin’s sword which was somewhat nice but the painted blade was ugly. From what I can see from the in hand photos I’ve seen of their other swords they’re not for me. I remember when the first Hobbit movie...

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

Right, I figured it would be the open edition. The MC version is certainly the lovelier replica of the two but for the sake of a more uniform collection, I actually prefer having the basic version. Another question for you all. Have any of you a desire for UC to produce actor scale versions of the ...

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

Neither do I (cosplay that is). I guess my desire comes more from a curiosity to hold those swords from the perspective of a halfling. Same goes for the Dwarven weapons. If only ever given one choice, I'd have to concur with you though. I'd prefer the "story" versions. I apologize for my ...

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

Another question for you all. Have any of you a desire for UC to produce actor scale versions of the two Hobbit swords? I'd like to have them myself. I have no desire for it. The only reason I can surmise that one would want it is for going in costume for CosPlay/Cons/RenFaires. But i don't do CosP...

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

Sam's sword is coming back? Sweet!!! Curious...is this the first time it's been reissued? I don't recall exactly but I think this might be the second time. Do be aware though that this is the shiny, open edition version of the sword. Back when it first came out, there was also limited version (600 ...

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

I've noticed that UC has added Sam's sword and Gimli's bearded axe to their website. So more reissues coming and hopefully an official listing for Guthwine soon! https://www.unitedcutlery.com/Category.aspx?cat=LR Sam's sword is coming back? Sweet!!! Curious...is this the first time it's been reissu...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

The mace is not bad at all. Yeah it doesn't have the weighty feel of a UC prop but the paint job is nice enough and for $50, I think you paid the right value for it. The axes are a different story. The paint job is nothing extraordinary and the prop itself looks like cheap plastic. I likened it to s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I can't believe Gollum got as low as $539. I might've taken a shot at him but like I said in the other forum, I wasn't aware of the auctioning system they sometimes use. I thought I was subscribed to their newsletter but I didn't receive anything. That's a good reminder, Val. I should sign up again...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Aw man, bummer. I thought you were on top of that but I read in the other forum that Weta is a bit of a new thing for you. I would really recommend signing up for their email newsletter so you don't miss out on stuff. You're not the only one who missed Elrond; he got snapped up fast. Congrats on th...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yeh I’m not a massive fan of Dwalin’s axes either, but Balin’s mace is tempting. I love the Elrond statue but I don’t have space (or money) to start buying statues haha I’ve been tempted by a few over the years but always ended up deciding against them. I think the Elrond statue didn’t sell too wel...

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

I’m a bit nervous about buying polystone pieces after my Sauron helmet developed a crack on the front most spike. I’ve not noticed cracks anywhere else but I still worry about it. Funny you should mention that... I was walking by my Sauron helm a few days ago and I have it angled so that when I ent...

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

Kinda been quiet in here so I hope you guys don't mind me asking about something I'm curious of. Has UC ever reissued any scabbards? The only ones I own are Anduril's and Sting's (Hobbit version). I'd love to get the others without paying the hefty premium in the current seller's market. I wonder i...
