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
Jul 21 2003, 02:18 PM
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...

hi mzpzteri, u hv d whole FOTR set including d following?
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)?
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 03:53 PM
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
Jul 21 2003, 05:10 PM
basically I just collect the figs I want from FOTR, TTT and ROTK.
Sky
Jul 21 2003, 05:12 PM
haha
I once aimed 2 complete my ToyBiz LOTR collection but now gotta give up

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

Don't think I'll ever shell out >US$100 for it!
Elven Archer
Jul 21 2003, 05:18 PM
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
Jul 21 2003, 05:53 PM
haha

thanks 4 d encouragement, Protector of Toys!
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.
Hopefully, d rumour abt it being 1 per case materialize
Elven Archer
Jul 21 2003, 05:57 PM
the sad thing is that I don't think shops in Singapore will be bringing in more cases of TTT wave 4.

Jul 21 2003, 06:02 PM
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.

Wow!
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.
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.
Elven Archer
Jul 21 2003, 07:23 PM
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.
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 09:27 PM
are you keeping your extras or trading, Elven Archer?
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 09:30 PM
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
Jul 21 2003, 09:43 PM
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.
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 09:45 PM
Mine are still in it's box...I can't bring myself to open it, except legolas, of course...
Elven Archer
Jul 21 2003, 09:52 PM
set them free mzpzteri.....set them free! you can hear them shouting from within their box, "FREEDOM!" ala William Wallace in Braveheart.
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 09:54 PM
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
Jul 21 2003, 10:02 PM
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.
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 10:13 PM
I could do that, but I'm also competing for shelf space with me other half - he collects Spawn...
Elven Archer
Jul 21 2003, 10:22 PM
well why don't you guys slug it out with the winner getting more display space.
mzpzteri
Jul 21 2003, 10:38 PM
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
Jul 22 2003, 07:32 AM
your cat must be living in luxury. a whole room to itself.
mzpzteri
Jul 22 2003, 09:22 AM
Truth be told, they are more like my kids than my pets...
Elven Archer
Jul 22 2003, 12:00 PM
so do you dress them up and their fur in ponytails with ribbons?
mzpzteri
Jul 22 2003, 03:28 PM
they despise being dressed up...
Elven Archer
Jul 22 2003, 05:02 PM
find it weird when I see owners dressing up their pets. I mean their animals gor goodness sake, not people.
mzpzteri
Jul 22 2003, 08:03 PM
I'm crazy about my cats, but not that crazy....
Elven Archer
Jul 22 2003, 10:07 PM
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
Jul 23 2003, 10:37 AM
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
Jul 23 2003, 06:58 PM
I don't know. I guess he doesn't want the cats crapping all over the place.
mzpzteri
Jul 24 2003, 10:53 AM
can always toilet train them. Mine would always rush to the bathroom even if they were playing in the garden...
jamtrax
Jul 24 2003, 01:26 PM
haha, this post evolved to lord of the figurines-pets to cats
mzpzteri
Jul 24 2003, 01:37 PM
sorry for the detour Jamtrax...tell us about your collection...
jamtrax
Jul 24 2003, 02:38 PM
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
Jul 24 2003, 02:51 PM
I do know of people with the complete set, but most of the time, they don't enter forums such as this
jamtrax
Jul 24 2003, 03:06 PM
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

alamak. you're a KTFITB collector. nice pics though.
jamtrax
Jul 25 2003, 09:48 AM
hehe, i don't speak singaporean...but what does "alamak" mean? and KTFITB?
mzpzteri
Jul 25 2003, 09:57 AM
loosely translated, it could mean "Oh my god!" I don't know what the other thing means
mcbleea
Jul 25 2003, 12:34 PM
Jamtrax,
You have a very nice collection. Much much better than mine,....which is like only 1/3 of yours!

Hi Jam
You have so many extras of each, plan to SELL any?
mzpzteri
Jul 25 2003, 02:01 PM
good guess sithlord78
Elven Archer
Jul 25 2003, 02:27 PM
correct. Keep The Figures In The Box collector. sithlord78, must go and buy 4D. sure strike 1st prize.
jamtrax
Jul 25 2003, 02:41 PM
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
mzpzteri
Jul 25 2003, 02:48 PM
do you open all your figs?
jamtrax
Jul 25 2003, 02:58 PM
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
