cool deal... i have him too [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
Sweet! I picked one up on Saturday at Zellers... its one of the few LOTR Toybiz figs worth owning.
nice score!
I keep meaning to pick him up.
guess I should get off my ass and do so. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
and the Faramir fig is sweet, too. you should rush back and snag one.

oh yeah..I'll be taking that halloween spawn to the post office tomorrow or later this afternoon to get the shipping price on it for you. sorry it's taken me so long..I haven't had the chance to get out till this week.
Yep Faramir was pretty cool looking...I never cared for the first version but many a time I kept indecisively picking up and putting down the new armored version.
I believe he's in the Coronation set, so there's a chance to get him then. With yet another Aragorn as King figure at that. I swear out of all Rings figures these days he's been abundantly warming the shelves the most. If I had it my way, the Gates Of Mordor pack would be just The Mouth of Sauron and a bunch of Mordor Orcs (and maybe an Easterling with a sword and war banner this time).
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh yeah, they love reselling the same heroes...and they gotta realize that most of us already buy them as singles. Though I can understand reissuing some heroes in the Helm's Deep set, since that's only staying true to the film sequence. If they ever sell Haldir seperately, I'm not sure if that'd be a blessing or a curse since some have already bought the set for him.Quote:

aragorn is the big peg warmer here as well. that, and the re-released TTT eomer (must be that huge head of his).
I think that if toybiz is going to insist on releasing sets of figures, they should make sure there's enough of a difference between previous packs they've done. Like the Heroes of Middle Earth pack, or whatever it's called. I saw it yesterday at TRU. It has the TTT Aragorn, a Gimli figure, and a Legolas figure. I'm not sure if the Legolas was the helm's deep one, or the FOTR one..I didn't look close enough.
Then there's the helm's deep five pack. once more with TTT aragorn, gimli, and Legolas. The only figures I kept from that pack were Haldir and King Theoden, cause I had Gimli and Legolas already, and I hate that version of Aragorn.
The gates of mordor pack will also contain those three. I've sold a Legolas figure and two Gimli figures already. I'm still trying to get rid of my TTT Aragorn. I'd love to see packs of elves, orcs, uruk-hai and easterlings. More of the bad and good guys that were hard to find.
That's one of the reasons why I like the AOME line so much. There's a lot of variety, and the packs that they release have all contained a good selection of figures. I have a tiny army of orcs and uruk-hai and easterlings, but I'd like to have some big versions of those figures as well.

As far as more Orcs and such...we saw a protoype for a Mordor Orc and a fat Orc Brute, they could've easily issued those in the Mordor Gates pack. And easterlings, all that's needed there is a couple new accessories for them, that's all. Elves, same deal, reuse some of the older ones including Haldir- maybe some new head sculpts too for variety's sake.
Actually given the amount of sets they pull out, I'm suprised they haven't made a Rivendale pack with Elrond, Galadriel, Arwen, etc. The Elves always upstage the orcs though, and we haven't had enough non-Uruk-hai orc figures.
Speaking of packs, I had no clue that they made this Treebeard/Gandalf one, which'd be cool as a MOC collectable:

But on the flip side...yet another Pelennor Aragorn..
And how come the Legolas figures aren't blonde?

Vaary nice! I use to buy LOTR stuff for my daughter (a sinister ploy actually, I figger I'll end up with them eventually [img]wink.gif[/img] ) but I've been off them lately. Must be my robot obsession! [img]confused.gif[/img]

I might have to get me that Gandalf/Treebeard set [img]eek.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">huh..I never saw or heard of that gandalf/treebeard pack, or the aragorn/legolas pack. I'd get the Gandalf one if I didn't already have the mini treebeard.Quote:

that reminds me..I'd also like to see some other Ents. Just one or two more. I doubt that will happen though. I just think it'd look cool to pose treebeard with two more Ents. I'd be happy with small ones, as I never did get the giant treebeard.
It is surprising that they never did a pack like that with the elves. I'd buy one like that just so I could get an Elrond. I think Elrond is amongst the figures they've been re-releasing, but I've never seen one of him on the pegs.
There will be some more orcs coming out from what I understand..I've seen pics of them somewhere. Here's hoping that they don't get scrapped like one or two orc figures were in the past.
