Re: Boromir Maquette...Buy NOW!!. Links in 1st post !!.
The CC PF is an exceptional piece, and extraordinarily relevant to my formative years. I was the perfect age for the rebirth of G.I. Joe into the 3 3/4 line. So glad I didn't drop that preorder, although I toyed with the idea many times. I don't even think any subsequent PF's in the line can touch him.
With regard to LOTR, I am a far more casual fan than you, obviously. The maquette line is stunning, and a way for me to try to control or curb my collecting habit. It's been working so far, and I only stray out of the line for what I feel are exceptional pieces. You can really see a difference in my order page from only one year ago. But also we have the NRD to thank for that. I only have four items on order with Sideshow direct, and two from dealers, so I'm being very well behaved. Really, only three with SS once Gimli gets here.
I may not order the next maquette unless it is Hobbits. I want the full Fellowship in this line, then can pick and choose from there on out. But I get that sense that they better not release the full Fellowship for fear of peoples' interest in the line tapering off at that point.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
