I'm a late starter so I don't have that many to begin with...it would be fun to know who has what (esp the rare ones and how did you acquire such pieces)
mzpzteri
To start the ball rolling, I have the whole FOTR set except New Born Lurtz and as for Travelling Bilbo, he has two left feet! I have all of TTT except Elven Archer, Prologue Elf, villian set, Saruman and Rohirrim soldier...
Sky
hi mzpzteri, u hv d whole FOTR set including d following? huh.gif

Canada Exclusive - Deluxe horse set of Ringwraith & Frodo
UK Exclusive - 3pack of Gandalf, Sam & Orc Overseer

btw, r u a 'completist' (ie must hv 1 of each fig regardless repack or not)? tongue.gif
mzpzteri
I don't have what mentioned, (alas!) anyway, you could say that I'm not a completist (though my other hald urges me to be).
Elven Archer
basically I just collect the figs I want from FOTR, TTT and ROTK.
Sky
haha biggrin.gif
I once aimed 2 complete my ToyBiz LOTR collection but now gotta give up sad.gif due to:

- Country-Exclusive pack (single/3pack/deluxe) not avail here & 2 expensive 2 buy fr evil-bay.
- ToyBiz's decision 2 make Twilight Frodo a chase fig angry.gif Don't think I'll ever shell out >US$100 for it! angry.gif
Elven Archer
keep the faith Sky. there might be a new twist to the story. seems like new cases of TTT wave 4 might have 1xTwilight Frodo. its already been spotted in Australia.
Sky
haha biggrin.gif thanks 4 d encouragement, Protector of Toys! wink.gif

If u remember, I was monitoring d TLF's price on evil-bay when it was hovering btw US$60-70. Was hoping tt it wil go down but it shot up instead. ohmy.gif

Hopefully, d rumour abt it being 1 per case materialize rolleyes.gif
Elven Archer
the sad thing is that I don't think shops in Singapore will be bringing in more cases of TTT wave 4.
jamtrax
i have about 104 carded figs but dwarfs in comparison with some local collectors. am still on the hunt for pews, twilight frodo, moria orc, boromir single, gimli single.
sithlord78
Wow! blink.gif

For me, am a late collector, started only something in january this year. I only buy the figs I like though, so no Aragoon or TTT Saruman for me. smile.gif

For FOTR, have only got a few figs... but from the few figs I have from FOTR line my fav is the Gimli from the Gimli vs Orc 2-pack. smile.gif
Elven Archer
woah! don't think I've reached 100 figs as I only collect what I like but I do have multiples of some figs like PEW, Elven Archer, Rohirrim soldier, Easterling, Berserker Uruk-Hai and Gondorian Ranger. smile.gif
mzpzteri
are you keeping your extras or trading, Elven Archer?
mzpzteri
I use to just want to collect Legolas, then it went on to collecting the fellowship, now I collect everything and then some. My friends say I need to go to LOTR action figs rehab centre. How about you open one Elven Archer?
Elven Archer
I open all my figs. I'm keeping my extra figs. I mean it would look better to have Elrond flanked by 2 PEWs than 1 or Haldir accompanied by a few Elven Archers rather one or even Eomer with a pair of Rohirrim soldier.

open a rehab centre for LOTR junkies? nah.....don't think there's a need for one now. smile.gif
mzpzteri
Mine are still in it's box...I can't bring myself to open it, except legolas, of course...
Elven Archer
set them free mzpzteri.....set them free! you can hear them shouting from within their box, "FREEDOM!" ala William Wallace in Braveheart. biggrin.gif
mzpzteri
I'm a collector, I don't play with them, plus my cats would probably chew them to death if I let them out...
Elven Archer
aahhh....cats. cute little critters aren't they. could get a clear glass display to display your figs like the one gingerfish co has. very nice. smile.gif
mzpzteri
I could do that, but I'm also competing for shelf space with me other half - he collects Spawn...
Elven Archer
well why don't you guys slug it out with the winner getting more display space. biggrin.gif
mzpzteri
I think I always win...in any wrestling or slugging..but seriously, I don;t have the space, need to renovate the house, have a room especially for my LOTR collection. Right now it's in our room, whilst his collection is in the cat's room...
Elven Archer
your cat must be living in luxury. a whole room to itself.
mzpzteri
Truth be told, they are more like my kids than my pets...
Elven Archer
so do you dress them up and their fur in ponytails with ribbons? biggrin.gif
mzpzteri
they despise being dressed up...
Elven Archer
find it weird when I see owners dressing up their pets. I mean their animals gor goodness sake, not people.
mzpzteri
I'm crazy about my cats, but not that crazy....
Elven Archer
I love cats. simply adore them. gonna get 1 or 2 when I have a place of my own. for now, my dad doesn't allow us to keep any.
mzpzteri
Doesn't you dad like cats? I come from a family of cat lovers. My grandma used to sew clothes for her cats. Thank God my other half loves cats too so we are one big happy family...
Elven Archer
I don't know. I guess he doesn't want the cats crapping all over the place.
mzpzteri
can always toilet train them. Mine would always rush to the bathroom even if they were playing in the garden...
jamtrax
haha, this post evolved to lord of the figurines-pets to cats

laugh.gif
mzpzteri
sorry for the detour Jamtrax...tell us about your collection...
jamtrax
nothing much really, like most of collectors here mine is still wanting of those hard to find figs. if i have the freetime, i definitely would share some of my pics
mzpzteri
I do know of people with the complete set, but most of the time, they don't enter forums such as this
jamtrax
here's some of my humble moc collection taken 3 weeks ago. some of them were purchased locally and some of those have been bought from abroad and about 10 packs were copped during my recent trip to singapore. nothing special as to what you guys/gal have ...slowly but surely am headed the right path.

i really don't want to waste much of the bandwidth so am just posting the links. tell me what you think smile.gif

Thanks for sharing! smile.gif
Elven Archer
alamak. you're a KTFITB collector. nice pics though. smile.gif
jamtrax
hehe, i don't speak singaporean...but what does "alamak" mean? and KTFITB?
mzpzteri
loosely translated, it could mean "Oh my god!" I don't know what the other thing means
mcbleea
Jamtrax,

You have a very nice collection. Much much better than mine,....which is like only 1/3 of yours! biggrin.gif

Hi Jam

You have so many extras of each, plan to SELL any?
mzpzteri
good guess sithlord78
Elven Archer
correct. Keep The Figures In The Box collector. sithlord78, must go and buy 4D. sure strike 1st prize. biggrin.gif
jamtrax
thanks for the comments guys/gal. i know it's still much in wanting but i hope someday i can compete what you guys are holding

sorry medicom, not for sale...yet smile.gif
mzpzteri
do you open all your figs?
jamtrax
nope. i got around 112 packs and about 6 are opened. i don't have the luxury and space to build a glass cabinet. and if i opened them all, they act like magnets and attract all the dust, dirt and grime.

i like to see them enclosed in their little slammers smile.gif
