What questions have you got? You can pm me. I have mine wrapped up in a bin for protection, but I could probably get it out if the question needs it!

Got my auto version as well. I may have to take it with me to comic-con to get a few more autos if I can.
Khev - check the back of the book it has initials for comments made by the artists. I saw those two in there someplace.

Hey Josh. These are very nice letter openers. I am not keen on getting the full scale swords, and I'm very pleased that HobbitShop.com which sells these NC letter openers is shipping to Australia!
I'm just wondering if these letter openers have steel blades? I have the UC miniature swords; are these NC letter openers the same scale as the UC's?
Hey Josh
Hey!
nice! That's awesome. They do. You could do some damage to someone with them. I'd say they're in the same scale. These are as I said very awesome. My Dad is so impressed with them he will end up with a set of his own.

Hey!
Awesome Josh, thanks for the info! I'm getting the 3 mini-swords in the box!
A few more questions if you don't mind: Is the box wood or plastic? Is the window glass or plastic? Is it foam where the swords rest or plastic mold with velvet? Does it come with a stand or the box can stand on its own? Thank you! Also, with the Map and Key of Thorin plaque, is the Key the same size as Weta's?
Oh your Dad is getting a set? Is he gonna be a collector too?
It usually starts with just one nice item and the rest is history!

They do look nice, don't they Adolfo? Are you getting these? But you already have the full scale swords. I'm getting these miniature ones as they are much cheaper and the full scale take up too much space. I'm happy having the mini representation of the swords
.That they do.

No problem.
it's a great set. congrats. 
Don't mind at all. The box is wood. It's not super high grade buts its wood. The window is plastic. It's a molded plastic with a felt like material. It can stand on its own but I want to get a small stand for it as support.

No problem.
Are these 1/6,1/5 or 1/4 scale?
This piece really looks stunning, but I'm still wondering why UC
keeps on making the same inaccuracy on all Sting blades:
Can you be more clear about the innaccuracy??
Also why the difference in size here. Is the MR one full size and the others not so much?

My muse is a fickle b**ch
MR is Hobbit Actor size (Elijah Wood) while UC is actual Hobbit size (Frodo).

I'm referring to the way the blade slopes near the cross guard (profile taper?).
MR is hobbit scale (the scale that actors use), while UC makes human scale props (how the swords would look if they existed in real life).

I've just received Dwalin and Balin and I've to say that they are greatest in hand that in the pictures...I love both statues
Oh I see, the middle ridge on the real thing is not carried fully to the hilt on the UC versions. Thanks.
Also thanks for the explanation of the size differences but I have to say I am even more confused now. The MR is actor sized to be shrunk down, the UC is how it would look in real life. So the MR is too big, period. The UC is scaled right but not for a real person, so it looks rather small in our hands?

Yeahp!
Although, MR version is more accurate to what Elijah Wood held in terms of size.Weta made different sizes for different shots.
Same story with the Orcrist prop.

Hey everyone! I've gotten around picking up a couple of small Weta Hobbit merchandise while some of us are experiencing a bit of a lull on upcoming Hobbit stuff such as statues or prop replicas. So, before the storm builds up again (who knows when), I've decided to get these.
Bag End Floor Plan Parchment Art Print - I've experimented here the borders with my iPad photo app.
Recipes from Bad End Art Prints - Nothing so special about these, really. Would've been better if they were made of parchment with no Weta logo. They're cheap (used my Weta dollars), I'd say they'll look good in a frame. Probably I could try out cooking these recipes!
Dragon Pin Antique Copper Finish - After procrastinating, finally got this. It's quite nice, and complements well the World Premiere pin.
