Also, Thranduil's sword is supposed to be in... NEXT WEEK! So everyone who can, I suggest placing your pre-order because I doubt the first batch will be in stock for very long.[/quote]
I think, after seeing the QC issues with UC lately, I don't think I am going to order the first batch of anything!
Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
152I completely understand how you feel. I am hoping that an all metal design will not have those issues
Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business

154Very nice video review of Fili's sword Rev and now we know how you look like.

Thank you for the kind words!

Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
156Paint I can deal with- especially after my Witchking Helm rebuild I am all equipped to do any touch ups I feel are necessary!
Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
157Jnicktem, it will be mailed today, heavily insured like the rest!
Good news, I am getting queries on my website from around the world, UC items are very popular in Australia it seems. It looks like my international shipping is paying off! Thanks everyone for all your support and be sure to share the website so we can get this party rolling.

Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
158Rev when you get Thranduil's sword in will you take some photos of it for us?
What's stopping me from ordering for you is its gonna be cheaper for me to order from Battle Orders. With international shipping and import/customs fees I imagine some of the items would be nearly double the price of what they would be in the UK

Lindir, no problem at all! I'll be sure to take plenty of photos for everyone!
I shall do whatever it takes to get your business.
Looking at the calculator online, VAT would be around 45GBP

I look forward to your business if it is less e xp ensive. Looks like VAT and Duty will be no more than 72Euro, but I am not sure, I would need more information on the sword.

I have two answers from two different shops.
279 euro shipping includid.
245 euro without shipping.
Both shops are in the Netherlands which means just shipping costs.

Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
168I agree with you Val . I really want this sword , however will wait until I see pics of how the finish turned out . Once I see it , my mind will be made up . At least for the first batch if it's not good .
Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
169Well hopefully all our questions will be answered within a week!

Ah, excellent. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, specifically on the rumoured difference between the finish on Kit's prototype (which matches the prop) and what UC reportedly churned out.

Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
175I got in some bows! Photos being uploaded now.
http://s222.photobucket.com/user/RevanF ... 0no%200551
So I only opened one because I haven't received permission from my other buyer yet to open the other. But this Tauriel bow is in practically perfect condition. Of course there are some painting deviations as you can see and the leaf "scaling" is a little flaked in one spot, but overall a beautiful piece. The wife wants to keep it, so unless someone buys it off me in the next few days it's getting hung on the wall in "inventory" until I get another batch in

I have both the Tauriel and Legolas bows. There's a lot more detail to the Tauriel bow, but there's something about the more simple elegance of the Legolas bow that also makes it appealing. I really like both bows.

The short bow or the other one.

I didn't see any bow in person so far but seeing the pictures I love that short bow of Legolas more than Tauriel's bow.

Re: Castle Kon is Open For Business
188It is here!!!
And it is perfect!!!
Thank you so much Rev for all you care in sending my new baby. It is so beautiful! I haven't been this excited about a piece for well over a year!
4 days to ship out to me in Oz. Pretty remarkable.
I'm just waiting for my next pay to be able to order something else.

Need to also ask if Hadhafang is available yet from UC.

But in answer to your inquiry, YES I'm in!
I need Hadhafang so I can get going on the scabbard.

That'd be great to hear Rev, as rumour had it UC would be dropping the price of Hadhafang soon for some reason? I'm not even sure if it's still LOTR packaging or TH. One would assume the latter, but with all the LOTR runs they're completing it gets a bit confusing.

200I take it the May date is for when they e xp ect the second production run to be completed? I'm assuming that'll mean we won't get Thranduil's sword in the UK until about June/July then
