Greetings all! I fell in love with Tolkien's world while the movies were coming out, and I spent many hours on The Fantasy Forum and browsing the UC website, hoping I would have the funds to start collecting one day. I did save up enough at the time to nab the Shards, but as I went off to school and my priorities shifted I allocated my limited funds elsewhere. When I heard that UC was going through bankruptcy, I figured that was that and lost interest in collecting.

Flash forward to today - I find that not only is UC alive and still in the replica business, but I still wanted to collect as much as I did twenty years ago! I'm very fortunate to have found this board as I've already found invaluable information and inspiration from the wealth of knowledge contained within. I want to give a special thanks to those of you who bring these items from the screen to our hands, and I hope that what meager knowledge and expertise I bring to the table will help someone else down the road.

A big hello from Vancouver, Canada!

Welcome to our little corner of the internet, hope you enjoy hanging out with the rest of us other collector nut bars.

Welcome! You are in the right place if you like collecting Lotr UC steel!

Greetings from the Canary Islands!

Welcome!!

Surely as I have been able to verify in these years that I have been here, you will see that this forum is the best, friendliest and most civilized place for LOTR replicas collectors, full of wisdom and cordiality.

Welcome.. As Valkrist said, we are a small corner of the web.
But we are very much BIGTIME into LOTR (and related) collecting.

Greetings from one fellow Texan to another! Hope you enjoy our forums
