Since the Uruk-hai release is coming with a redesign in the blade tip, will you be receiving a production sample? I'd definitely pick up one of the new ones and age the crap out of my old one if that's the case.
I approved a sample several months ago. I'll post a few photos.

Any other news from UC? Or just the stuff we know about moving forward?
MC Anduril
Boromir dagger
Gimli axes
Faramir's sword
Aeglos
Lots of new things are on the development list, but not a lot that I can really talk about yet, other than what I have already mentioned and a few reissues -
The rest of the Witchking helm limited edition will be made, but the crown spikes may ship unassembled on those. Probably magnetic attachment, like what Weta does on some limbs and attachments.
The rest of the prologue elf helm edition will be made.
The Legolas scabbards may finally be reissued. The tooling will have to be remade, so I will take that opportunity to get rid of that legal notice that was cast into the mold on the back!
Sting will be re-tooled to match the more accurate MC version shape for the blue-bladed version, so that one is a long way off now.
The functional brass/spring steel Herugrim is going forward, and possibly Guthwine and Eowyn's Rohan swords if that does well. Several projects I am working on are new versions of replicas UC has already made like that, so probably not much interest in those from our group here, but there are several new replicas in the works as well. More work than I have time to do in the time they would like them really, but that's probably a good thing for collector's cash flow!
