tat would be a looong wait...

i'll prob not be expanding my collection too rapidly... after i get my UL anduril, GTW staff and herugrim...

had a heart-to-heart chat with sheare's boss.. he convinced me to only get wat i reali like and not for the sake of completing the collection... cos end of day... the replica swords' value will not escalate veri much (for most items, not toking abt the limited ones)... he told me of many encounters with collectors dumping their replica swords after some years of feverish collecting... with often the result tat they sell at tremendous losses...

oho.. and hope my present collection will stay rust free... hope to eventually pass them all to my children and grand children.... kinda cool if i can do tat... hahaha..

sheares said to check with them in mid-june... apparently they placed orders for some pieces of herugrim... unfortunately... they hv all been reserved...

no info from caesar's yet.. bernard said they haven't yet received the price quote and sword specs...

hmm... they told me 390 last i asked... guess they'll want a 30% deposit.. not sure tho...

King Theoden's

it's King Theoden's sword. here's a pic.

yep... tats why i'm getting it...

well, it all depends on your reason for buying them in the 1st place. if you are wanting to buy because you want to collect, cos crazy about the movie/swords etc... then buy all loh, if you have the means. dont have to buy all at 1 shot also, i mean they aren't LEs.

whereas if you are buying and then keeping it, hoping at a much later time, it can be sold for a profit.... well... it's unlikely like what you have said, cos they arent LEs so why should they fetch a higher price if they are not out of production? i would still see them making over the next few years i think, LOTR fever's still pretty much active.

ea, could you also enquire for me about the anduril scabbard if you can rememeber? thanks.


btw loggers, if you have seen the pics and read the reviews carefully, you will notice that the sting isn't like a toy. infact the blade looks just like UC's and yet it has the ability to glow, that's what makes it amazing! with the exception of those small switches, but if you didnt look very close up, it's not so bad... only bad thing is the holder/plaque of course.

nope... not as sharp as hadhafang...

but nonetheless, i'm certain u still gotta file it down all the same

u can always try tho...

how much will u save if u import?

as a law enforcer, as much as i would like to to have authentically sharp blades, do be reminded that its a seizable offence (arrestable) to have dangerous or scheduled weapons (eg. Nan chuks, crow bars) in possession....


not to preach la...but certain restriction are needed...*sigh

the Shards of Narsil are mounted on the plaque and cannot be removed unless you want to forcibly remove them which no person in their right mind would do since it's worth about US$450 now or about SG$760.

the helmet of sauron is made of some fibre glassy material right....? not some metal...like the upcoming infantry elven helmets..??


gauntlets with the ring?? wow..should be a good buy! got any pics?

when I first saw Legolas' knives (at the exhibition), I was thinking "how come it looks shorter than from the film?!"

the legolas' blades are less sharp in comparison with the elven knife...
the elven knife is one of the sharpest i've handled thus far

apparently most collectors hv lotsa complaints abt the colour scheme of legolas' blades....

are they taking pre-orders now? great to hear, didnt know about it...

but retailers dont have to have them blunt which means it's ok what. somemore the lotr swords are collectables, no one in the right state of mind would spend so much to buy that just to harm ppl? they could just buy a cheap kitchen knife. anyway the swords are all made of rather soft metal, hitting it hard against a hard surface would dent it already.

all UC blades come with some sort of wall plaque or base...

I believe its retailing @ 495 for non members @ caesar's... not sure abt elsewhere...

i hadn't asked them abt preorders but from past experience, they shld start taking preorders once they have the price quotes...

hmmm... anyway... u wouldnt need a blade that can cut hard surfaces to penetrate the soft tissues of the human body...

oh... btw...since we are on this topic... found it rather interesting... do u guyz know how hard it is to cut off someone elses head? was told by my bio teacher in sec sch, that the ease with which ppl decapitate others in movies are all fallacies... the neck region of the human body is heavily bundled with tough arteries and cartilage besides the bony spine, making decapitation all the more complicated and difficult.. swinging a sword with the intention of swiping off ones head takes a great great deal of effort and energy....
