i just bought, shall i say pre-order herugrim, cant wait to arrive and do some swinging 
just got my Berserker today! it ROCKS!
it ROCKS!
veri nice arrrrrrrrrr...............
nice statue Sky. nice to see you at ST too.
collected my helms today. Numenorean, Elendil and Gimli. also bought a Galadriel bust. it's a nice piece. I think SSW is slacking off on their QC. the first 2 bust I inspected were pathetic. a few spots on her body were missing the white paint. finally settled on the 3rd piece, which thankfully was much better.

???? still dun get it?
consignment is something like how magazine vendors work. eg, 7-11 takes 100 pieces of 8-days from the supplier tis month. 1 week later, 7-11 sold 80 pieces, so 7-11 pays the supplier the cost of 80pieces n return them the remaining 20 pieces.
Score another Moria Orc for $12.00....heheheehehhe

can't you see the tear, he's begging me to bring him home!
I believe I've finally crossed that line that I shouldn't have.... HELP ME!
hahaha.... is that really a tear in his eyes?

yes, they are tears, one on each side... this is their story:
from SSW - Feverish and wild with terror, the nine horse steeds of the Ringwraiths were driven relentlessly by their corrupted, unfeeling masters, the Nazgūl. On their tortured black mounts, these evil servants of the Dark Lord, would tirelessly pursue Frodo seeking to regain the One Ring.
from David Day's 'A Guide to Tolkien' - "... the orcs of Mordor often came to the horses of the Rohirrim in the night and took them to their master, Sauron, and he twisted their noble form to evil purpose...."

Oh my... Our dear bro sky has once again succombed to the power of the BE...
No worries, you are doing a good deed by taking the Nazgul steed home. He needs a loving and comfortable home, not the dark and vicious stables in Minas Morgul...
