Very awesome pic and statue! Arm up is definitely the way to go on this.

As for the guys having issues I hope SSC comes through for you on this.

so far the in-hand photos are amazing. Mine gets here tomorrow, hoping for no broken pieces. He looks to be one of the best so far.

The strap should have been sculpted shorter and/or closer to the body, or the forearm should have been a separate piece so that only that one section would need a replacement.

My waitlist converted!
However, now, reading about the breakage, I'm thinking if I should cancel it. Have till the 14th to decide...

The spear on the flag makes him way too big. Had to take it off to fit on my shelf

Edit: for all the Canadians, my Fedex bill was normal. $10 handling fee + AB taxes. Still wondering why I paid extra duties on my T1 PF last month.

I paid the extra 20 on mine.

tomandshell, I called this when you first posted the problems many pages back. SS seems to have two classes of damage, real breaks and issues they attribute to an ever demanding fan base which they deem minor damage. This stinks all around. BUT I suspect this is a response to them getting complaints about minor issues like paint blotches or something and people wanting a whole new statue. As people got more particular profits were eaten and here we are. Still its staggering that they would recommend you glue something like this. Damaged collectibles, oxymoron, value is affected when disclosed to a perspective new buyer down the road. An unreal joke.

To the wraith PF buyers, good luck. That's a flip piece because the long term viability of the back legs and tail is about that of the Balrog's flame whip.

Odd. Take a look at your Fedex Receipt. In the bottom section what does it say for the Description and the Classification Number? On the statue's that I received that did not have duties on it, the receipts had COLLECTIONS3 or COLLECTION for the description but both classification numbers were 9703.00.00.00. However on my T1 PF that I got charged $26 in duties, the description was COLLECTIONM and classification number 9825.20.00.00. Must be something with how SS is declaring the items.

so after making the mistake of cancelling my waitlist that converted a week and a half ago today i recieved a much welcomed email.

Hey Leanne,

We have found a The Lord of the Rings Collectibles Boromir Statue - Sideshow Exclusive Version for you!
Your wait list reservation #WB happy happy joy joy for this item is due to become a live order on 2012-06-14.
Your item will then ship out to you shortly after that!

looking over the last few pages i see a few people have been getting Boromir minus the sword that points down or with broken arm straps i'm going to go through with my order because i regretted cancelling my first waitlist and now i have a 2nd chance. i just hope he comes with both swords and in one piece. sorry to other flamers who have recieved a damaged Boromir i'm in Australia so there is no way i will be sending mine back.

OMG, My boromir is on the way now. I'm looking forward to mine. I can not wait. I hope that it would not be a problem.

i hope you get a good one i'm more worried that i'll get one without both swords at least if there is a break on a strap i can glue it.

This is a fantastic piece for sure ...one of the best in the line IMHO.

Sorry for those with issues and breaks in theirs ...sorry SS consider them minor damage and won't replace - that sucks.

To all who are awaiting theirs (of which I am one), I wish you luck and hope all is fine with them.

Thanks for the pics those who posted them - really appreciate seeing them.

Wouldn't say not to seeing some more pic please.

Which is EX? up or down

Which is EX? up or down

the sword being held up

 

[Rena Gilthoniel]

the sword being held up

Well but all people who got Regular version for now said that they have the sword being held up instead of down...

I'm a little confused...

 

[Boromir]

What an epic statue.
(Oops, overlooked the spike in the box for the photo.)

BTW: Same damage as everyone else here. Cracked but not falling off + a chiped off part on the base.
Fixed the strap with some glue and paint but the base is not that easy.​

Thanks! I think I'll change the display a little bit, like this:

And that's the problem with my base. =(

 

[Rena Gilthoniel]
