What the heck, I'm gone for the weekend and suddenly all my swords must be bolted to plaques!?! Last time I take a Friday off, sheesh! On a serious note though, it's definitely a scary thought as many have indicated, that would essentially kill the collectible nature of these swords and as Elvenguar...
Wow sorry they did that. Makes you wonder how some people can live with themselves... anyhoo, thanks for posting the site. Definitely be steering clear of them for any future purchases.
I voted for Sting simply because if I was only ever able to get ONLY ONE of those three an none of the others, Sting would be it. If you're planning on getting all three at some point, then definitely take the best deal first. That's about the same price Gimli's helm can be had here in the states, b...
Hey all, Got my email back from HGC... sounds like the LE's will be numbered on the plaque itself... no certificate... and not functional (hey, I had to ask, lol) My original question: "Question on Legolas' bow... It's limited edition of 500 but is it also numbered, if so, is it via certificate...
Woot! Proud new owner of a PRISTINE Numenorian Shield #2449 As promised... here's the pics of the broken shield that I had to send back for replacement... #2004... it was a little TOO battle damaged. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff352/209Mason/DSC01939.jpg http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff...
I wonder if limited means numbered as well.... If so, then it would be cool to have one of the LE bows.... However if it is not numbered and the only true difference is the inclusion of the two arrowheads... It may be worth saving $60. I may have to call or email HGC and ask. At any rate... Excellen...
Wow... had to dig deep to find this thread. Anyhoo... there may be a new glimmer of hope... Weta's own Mr. Falconer over at one of the Weta forums showed a little spark of interest anyway: http://www.wetacollectors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34954&page=2 Post #22 Wouldn't be from United obviousl...
One of the planks is split the entire lenght of the sheild. It's right between where the leather handle is. The metal strip along top and bottom are the only things holding it together... about 1/4 inch gap. Once I get it replaced I'll post the pics.
Thanks everyone so much! You really put my mind at ease... I was afraid this was someone's 'custom' effort to try and make the blade sharp after comparing it with Narsil! Then I was afraid I'd have to go through the long process of returning it. However, now I can really enjoy it... if only I had ex...
Here's the pictures... you'll notice on the one with the tip of the blade, it doesn't even look like the spine is centered correctly. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff352/209Mason/DSC01950.jpg http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff352/209Mason/DSC01948.jpg http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff352...
So... I'm batting 1000 lately. First I got my Gondorian Shield that was broken, waiting to return.... Yesterday, I get my LE Anduril that I purcahsed off of ebay, and I'm fairly certain it's not correct. I assume the blade on Anduril would be identical to the Narsil in terms of sharpness, is that a ...
#2004 arrived today and is broken. Working with the company to get it replaced, so until that happens I won't post much more about it... but assuming all goes well and I get a replacement, I'll definitely have some pics.
Thanks! Updated... all colors found!
I think the only ??? left are a few dates.
by the way, i think that's the first non-stock photo i've ever seen of the Gondorian helm... I really like it! That may have to be the first helm I go after.
Thanks everyone, all updates made to the first post! I'll try and get that document updated and re-posted today too. Only 2 colors missing (Gondor Infantry Helm and Helm of Isildur)... I assume based on the dates they're Brown as well, but I can't confirm that so I'll wait until someone can! Thanks ...
I wish there was a way to like... rank the scarcity of certain items... obviously we know about the LE's... but are some more scare than others (IE Elendil's helm vs. Isildur's helm) and what about the non LE's? Have some stopped production all together? Ringwraith sword for example seems to be hard...
[quote=""SmithBlades.com""]I didn't say that. I said that there are several items that UC has discontinued. Not all of them and they do have plans for a few new items![/quote] I'm also interested in the new stuff... but equally interested in what is to be discontinued.... Derek, ...
I think Ed has turned another... after going through this thread and seeing the pics.... and looking at pics of the non-MC version... I think I'm gonna have to go find me an MC Samwise sword. I'm not really excited about it right now... but at a run of only 600... I have a feeling if I don't get it ...
So... I've been wanting something like a checklist of all the LOTR UC items for a long time and I've never found a good one anywhere (maybe I just didn't look hard enough). Anyhoo... after getting the idea from a user on another forum, I began using old posts on this site, other sites, and some vend...
Bah! Thanks for the link... I didn't think to search the latest aquisition thread since it's not out yet. I'll be interested to get a review when xena10ares reports back!
Has anyone else seen or heard of this? I just stumbled upon it while I was searching. I know it's a pipe-dream to ever hope for a UC bow... but this one looks well done and says it's officially licensed. They even have a similar looking plaque that would match the UC stuff. Just curious if anyone el...
Lol... again... it's been ages! How's everyone doing?!
I've got the itch to add more swords to my collection... So I figured i'd come back and see what everyone was up to... what everyone was collecting now-a-days.
.... So yeah... that last post was 4 months ago... yikes! ANYONE PUMPED ABOUT THE HOBBIT MOVIE?!!??!!? I wonder if things will start picking up on here again? Are there any sites still around dedicated to selling LOTR swords from UC? I clicked on over to FnK... but they didn't have much at all. Anyw...
Good to see you guys are still around! I'd always been dropping by from time to time, as a lurker, much like you put it. Just keeping an eye on things and remebering the good old times when the first thing I did when I got home was log on here to see the newest posts! Well, I graduated, and took a j...
Okay, so when I was in college I was on here pretty much every day. Between here and FF, I posted like a fool. Then graduation hit... and the real world. Anyway, when I get bored with the web and look for something to do, I always come back to UCfourms and check to see what's up. I haven't posted in...
Sorry. Anyways, I emailed MR a couple days ago, asking if the sword was limited edition, and if so, to how many.... Secondly, I asked what the edges were like, if they were dull or sharp. I got an email back today. Color me confused, because here is thier reply...
Okay, Sorry to post three times in a row here, but I think I figured it out. After viewing some other sites... it apears that the message is different on each side of the blade. So BOTH the messages I listed are on the blade I believe. NOW, my next question: This sword is LE, right? Atleast on the M...
OMG I'm confused now... I just noticed that the text on Peter's Sword in the above pic clearly states: "When Aslan Shakes His Mane, We Shall Have Spring Again" And the text from the official MR site CLEARLY states: "When Aslan Bears His Teeth, Winter Meets It's Death" Now... I li...
Since no one who has... the sword has posted pictures yet, I found a pretty decent one on the net that I thought I'd share. Maybe this has already been said, but did anyone watching the movie notice how the sword fit into the scabbard? The scabbard slipped up under thos two little prongs on each sid...
Lol yeah, I agree with BladeCollector. While I really enjoyed the second movie, if the scenes with Wolverine going berserk in the mansion, and Colossus turning metal for the first time WEREN'T in that movie, I would have liked it a lot less. If you think back on it, not a whole lot happened... it al...
Thanks for all of your help everyone... my fear of helm upkeep is lessened by each post! Now I just need to decide which one I want, which is another problem entirely!
Oh and I so HOPE this is not the conclusion! lol... I've watched this trailer like 5 times now. No hint of Gambit anywhere... There CANNOT be an X-Men trilogy without Gambit, the series must go on. There is no way they can just stop after 3 if he hasn't been immortalized on screen. Besides, Apocolyp...
