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

[quote=""Deimos""]Can you imagine what Guthwine would be going for right now if UC had produced it and then ended production after the first the run because Rohan swords weren't selling very well.[/quote] Oh, if only UC had produced that sword. I really, REALLY want Guthwine. It ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

[quote=""Valkrist""]P.S. I promise to push Joffrey off the wall if I see him. :P [/quote]

Yes, *please* do so.

Seriously, it sounds like a wonderful trip. I'm looking forward to your post-travel posts describing your vacation. Safe travels!

Re: Palantir?

[quote=""Deimos""]Looks a lot like mine. Without any other reference point (like maybe a golf ball next to it) there's no way to estimate the size from the pic.
So it looks great.[/quote]

I don't have a golfball, but here's a pic of it next to a MLB regulation size baseball. :)

Re: Palantir?

Okay, here is a pic of mine. It's already full dark here in eastern Virginia, so I can only share an image taken in artificial light. I'll see if I can get a better daylight pic tomorrow. My orb is the first link. The second link is a reference screen cap from TTT. I purchased this obsidian sphere o...

Re: Palantir?

Well, so much for my scoop. <sigh> Deimos has beaten me to it, and has the correct size stone, to boot (my guess is that mine is about 1" shy of the one in the movie, but it's what I could afford right now). :| I guess it won't be helpful to post any pics of my inferior orb now. On a positive n...

Re: Palantir?

After a lot of looking and pricing, I managed to find a decently priced obsidian orb. It's a little over 5" in diameter and works very nicely (at least for me) as a stand-in for the Orthanc stone. :thumbs_up

Re: Shire Post Coins

The four coins Polyphemus just posted are by far the smallest of the Shire Post LOTR coins I've seen. I have a couple more coming from a recent purchase, but here are the four I currently own (apologies for the so-so quality of the image). Clockwise from top left: Foal of Rohan 1403 Tree Penny Iron ...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""RosereIII""]My Orcrist came with a dual sided COA/map, however, my Hobbit Sting Scabbard did not come with a COA; my LotR Sting Scabbard did.[/quote]

As Roserelli also confirmed, it's absolutely a two-sided COA. I was looking at my copy as I typed last night's response.

Re: Palantir?

[quote=""Buckeye""]I'm thinking something in the 8-10-inch diameter size range, already spherical. The material used is dependent on cost. The obsidian stones I've seem are only a few inches in diameter and go for several hundred dollars (USD).[/quote] I'm revising my overly larg...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""polyphemus""]Ok, so I got home, unboxed the Orcrist... When I went ahead and opened up the plaque, I e xp ected to find the COA. There is NO COA! The UC catalog states these include certs. Am I wrong? Is it just missing?... Does anyone know?[/quote] It definitely comes w...

Re: Palantir?

[quote=""Deimos""]Smallest one in the stories was about a foot in diameter (Olorin, Val, or Fin can correct me here if I read that wrong). Movie size was smaller than that, maybe 8 inch diameter? So how much does an obsidian stone that big go for? And are we talking one already s...

Re: Palantir?

[quote=""Nerdanel""] I suppose it would depend on which palantir you wanted to recreate - some were small, other were quite large (master stones). But for the Orthanc stone, I would think your best bet would be to start with obsidian spheres, as these are readily available from g...

Palantir?

Has anyone found a reasonable, cost-effective way to create a prop Palentir? I'm seeking suggestions and recommended links that may help me in my quest to add a decent approximation of a Palentir to my LOTR collection.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""Valkrist""]I got 90 of 1000, so says the COA. The odd thing is, on the outside of the mailer box, with all the Weta info, it says 90 of 500?!? Anyone else have this on theirs? :huh: [/quote] Yes, my box was marked as 313 of 500. Congrats, Val, on receiving your Radagst s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""Valkrist""]A fair bit of complaining about the wall bracket on Weta's site under reviews of the staff. I hope that now that they've halted shipment of the staff, that they are not only improving the packing method but also creating a better bracket that actually fits the...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""Khal1993""]my staff arrived today.....and thankfully in perfect condition, no scratches no breaks etc. All good in the hood :P I'll post some pics soon[/quote] My Radagast staff (#313) also arrived today. I'm happy to report that it is damage/blemish free... even after a...

Re: LOTR Flags and Banners

[quote=""Buckeye""]I own one of the Rohirrem banners, on either side of which I have mounted Herugrim and Eowyn's sword. It makes a very nice display. If anyone is still lookingfor any of these banners or flags, there is a seller on Amazon that still has a modest number of many o...

Re: LOTR Flags and Banners

[quote=""dpegasusm""]so can anyone here confirm that it was never made or should i start hunting...? Below is a ling to some images of the banners (Thanks Val) http://www.tolkiencollector.com/pages/record0476.html and here is my compiled list of all that i know were made: Elven B...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""Lindir""]I got an email saying my staff will be processed and dispatched next week :D The mounting bracket that comes with the staff doesn't look very good and like N2 mentioned on the weta forum it could damage the paint. I'm actually planning on putting it in a display...

Re: hello everyone!

[quote=""Valkrist""]Yes, welcome to the madhouse, where money flies out of our wallets faster than Legolas' arrows from his bow! :D [/quote]

Haha! So true. My wallet is crying "uncle" right now!

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Thranduil""]I didn't check yet but I believe eddy mentioned his beloved Machaera when he started this thread. Orcrist being similar to its design. Apparently the link he posted is gone.[/quote] Is this the blade you are referring to? http://www.wetanz.com/the-machaera/ I...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""SmithBlades.com""]The Orcrist may be available much sooner than that! There is some rumor that it'll be shipped to dealers/distributors on the next 10 days![/quote] Here's hoping the rumor is true! I'm really looking forward to Orcrist. It's a very distinctive looking sw...

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

[quote=""Valkrist""]On another topic, my Gandalf Staff arrived today but I was not home and missed UPS. Now I have to wait until Tuesday. :( [/quote] That's why I have my UPS packages delivered to my workplace. It's waaaaay too frustrating to miss a delivery like that. When my Ga...
