im dont follow much of the lotr toys but am interested in getting a sauron figure. however how come i see there is a red packaging and blue one? the figs look the same though.

is the red one rarer or something? can anybody tell me what r their current mkt prices now, thanks.

Red packaging was released ages ago after the Two Towers film is i'm not mistaken. Blue packaging is spossed to be the same repack with just a more updated packaging. As for which is rarer, here in Malaysia I have yet to see the Sauron in blue packaging (Dunno bout the guys there in Sg though). If you're planning to open the figure, either one will do as they are exactly the same

yup. Plague is right. the blue ROTK packaging is just a repack of the same figure. in Singapore, S* usually doesn't carry repacked figures.

to add on, it shudn't cost u more than 65 bucks...

i see thanks for the info. which one do u think loosk better? because i got the PEW which is red packaging and getting the same red sauron box will look better i feel what do u think? do u know where sells the red or blue ones? and at what price

u r the one at my auction aint? i think u should get the red one. it will look nicer with the other red boxes. but i dont think anyone is selling it now.

yeah i am more keen on getting the red packaging. but since it does not seem easy to get now i might just settle with urs. let u know

well there are another sauron pack with sarumon in blue packaging but never see them hit our shore here in sg.

Here's another alternative.

This Sauron first appeared in the FOTR movie. I feel if you really wanted a box color to match his movie appearance, it'd be green. But they only have it in red and blue........so i dun think it matters actually. The figure is nice. If you see it at a nice price, just buy it.

I am damn confused abt LOTR figures packaging too. I first saw Gollum in a red (quite a large box). Then came a blue one. Then there is this blue one which is only a paper card with a bubble. What is the difference man?

Also, I see that there is this Gollum/Smeagol which is rubber and bendy. But I think I also saw jointed Gollum/Smeagol before. Are there like different kinds?

I am pretty lost...

There are more than 1 kind of packaging and toy for gollum... As i think he is more 'popular' in a sense...

no prob dude! nope, itz actually a single pakd fig. came wif ROTK tri pak, wav 3. used to b a pegwarmer (n short pak too!) so i guess shudn't b too diff to find it. best of luck!

ps: sorry to dude goliath for 'hijakin' ur thread..best of luck in findin' d dark lord..

hahaha.... bring up that pic again. the one ring isn't that nice anyway... heard people commenting that it looks like a pimple on his hand.

Thanks guys! Sorry for hijacking this thread!
