Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

That PF falls in the category Galadriel and Moria Orc PF for me. I don't need it. I don't see a real connection to the movie and for a real representation of the race of mordor orcs he is simply too unspectacular. So, i will pass on that one. SS should continue on the Fellowship!

I say stuff like this all the time.

Give Josh a break guys. Josh is a good guy

Hi Tnaig!

To a certain extend I agree with you. When it comes to the Berserker bust I think the price difference was a let down because the excitement it generated among collectors. I also agree that the mistake was a big let down because Sideshow knows that, as artists and collectors, we wear our emotions on our sleeves, and that kind of error should never happen....

Having said that, we should not let our emotions take over and make us upset over a mistake. Sideshow is not trying to screw us up or like you said "trying to throw us a bone"

I'm unhappy about it, I will let Sideshow know about it by emailing them(I'm sure they are aware of it by now) and see the pieces for what they are. Sideshow is a great company and I'm glad that it didn't happen a few days later or after pre ordering because then I think it would have been 10 times worse.

Yeah, they F#@* up and they should at least apologize, but personally I don't think it is worth getting really upset about it.

Just my two cents....

Cheers

Hi bear. You're right. I'm not upset, just somewhat let down.


The $899 is prob wholesale price and someone messed up on which figures they were looking at

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

First off I'm having minor heart attacks here as I read the life size Berserker Bust I thought SS had given us our first biggie in the LOTR line, I'm ok now, it's only Predator!! Secondly I'm on the fence with this Orc, it's going to be the Fence of Regret I know it but nonetheless, that's where I'm at with this one, just not grabbing me like previous Orcses!! Thirdly the edition size will be 850 by thursday lunchtime, LOL

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

Gotta agree. Who cares before so as you said nobody is out any money.

In a way I agree with you but now both this thread and the Beserker has degenerated into a "Look SS are at it again with the shady going-ons". The changes to the text in both descriptions are so vastly different I don't think it can be described as a simple typo. The person who typed the information may have been given the wrong information however.

The excellence of both pieces is getting lost as a result.

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

BTW this piece is excellent and this line just gets better with every new release. IMO this is the best line produced by SS.

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

I really want this guy but I just don't really have the shelf space for him. Need to find out the exact dimensions of the base and see if I can't fit him in if I squeeze all my other PFs together.

This is a must-buy for me.

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

It is a big deal. Has everything to do with integrity in which case before pre-orders or after is a moot point.

You're kidding right? What exactly does this have to do with integrity? Personally, I like to use the term 'mistake' when referring to someone's screw up. Now if you have some evidence to the contrary that shows SS did this deliberately...then produce it. Otherwise, get over it.

Re: Black Orc of Mordor Premium Format.

After a day to cool off after the "New LOTR Item" high from yesterday, I believe that I'm gonna have to pass on this one. If I had a bottomless bank account sure I'd bite, but there is just to much on the horizon right now for me to throw money at a generic orc. I have to narrow my sights and focus on the Maquettes - I'm sure that we'll see some cool orcs in that line eventually. The only PF's that will be a must-have for me from this point on would be The RWOS, Witch-King in true form, and an armored Helms Deep Uruk-Hai.

Personally, if I had to focus on just one line it would be the maquettes as well. No doubt as that line continues to gather steam we will see plenty of bad guys...including Orcs.

Well said sir, and well i kind of want a battle/cave troll as well.
I also want some sort of fell beast even if its just a bust.

I wonder who will have the honor of first villain in the Maquette line?

You can't go wrong with a Battle-Troll.
Too bad the severed Fell Beast head wasn't the exclusive item with The ML PF.

I think Jerry's post from today says it all......Sauron.

Thank you. I look forward to returning to my Sauron project today, actually. Been away on other things that needed looking into, but I'm back on it as of this morning : ) As far as the layout of the art, it is arranged in the "portrait" format, with lots of "landscape"!

Ah, but do we know if Sauron is a maquette yet? As far as I know it's just been hinted (both by Jerry and SS), that it will be big, and I think SS said something along the lines of "it may not fall officially into PF status, but will be big", or something like that.

Now that could mean it's a PF in that it has fabric etc but isn't quite 1/4 scale, or it is indeed a maquette. We don't know.

Or if we do and i've missed something, feel free to correct me.

Should be an awesome print and it will be interesting to see SS's take on Sauron.

I know I am going to be as I always do when it comes to this subject, but sometimes one cannot provide proof without digging themselves a grave, just look at the patterns. I stand by what I said.

Back to the real subject, this piece is still awesome.

As do I. The raise in ES is not going to cost me one cent, nor is it going to cause me to lose one seconds sleep. And if you are going to talk about 'patterns' then perhaps you can point out to me the pattern that indicates where excl. versions of LOTR PF's have ever featured an ES under 500....good luck with that one.

And you're right......it is awesome.
