[quote=""Fingolfin""]Hey folks, so I'm curious as to whether or not Kropserkel is still doing business. I've seen their website, so I'm assuming they're still taking orders. Also wondering if anyone knows what the price ranges of their items are? I know that Val has some of their stuff, right? Anyone else? Thanks for any info.

Hey Fin,
I believe they are still in business, but they do not still produce everything in their LOTR catalog. I know that they told me the only thing they were still producing actively from LOTR was their Wiki armor and scabbard for the UC Wiki sword and that was around two years ago. At that time, I contacted them via their email at:
info@kropserkel.com.
You might also have luck by sending them a message via their Facebook page at:

After I contacted them, they sent a .pdf catalog file of their Wiki gear w/pricing. Their prices were high for that Wiki stuff, but it is very well made! I have their deluxe robes w/height extension and hood for the FOTR Ringwraith look as well as their Wiki war helm and gauntlets. I think for the gauntlets alone the pricing was over a $1k if that gives you any idea. I found my set on eBay and was hoping to add the arm, shoulder, and leg armor. So far, I haven't struck gold so I have not pursued this since receiving their price list. I did think their Wiki scabbard pricing was reasonable, though, and may still try and snag one of those someday if, indeed, they are still making it.
The LOTR stuff I think they have discontinued includes their Ranger duster, Boromir vambraces, Legolas Archer vambraces, and all their Orc/Uruk gear. As I said, it was some time ago when I received their catalog so I cannot say any of this information is up-to-date...
