Yup, that's a good sign really.

Well, they went up for pre-order yesterday with an ES of 1500 each, and right now there are 80 left of each. Wouldn't you kind of expect them to be in the top ten?

What's more surprising to me is the figure sitting at #1.

WORD. I wondered how long it would be before somebody would point that out.

Ya know, I may be off base here, but if you watch the video on SST website where the guy is discussing the hobbits. The size doesnt look to bad compared to the guys hand. They definately arent to scale but I think standing next to the others they will look pretty close to scale. JMO

 

[pixletwin]

I agree. I think they will still look great.

In the end I think people will be pleased with figures 1-3 on that list. Padme I think will end up being pretty nice once they make the tweaks they talked about. The Hobbits are so going to justify the price once everyone gets them.

For $70 each, they'd better!

I noticed some pictures on the product page that I don't recall seeing before. This one:

almost seems like it could have been added specifically to address one popular concern...

But I wouldn't want to take the thread too far off topic...

I wish we could just stop talking about these Hobbittses and get them shipped out!

Just as Frodo's journey to Mordor, it seems that his journey to our homes will also take a year...

Didn't the journey go from September to March?

 

[RoboDad]

Didn't the journey go from September to March?

Well, yes, but there was also the journey home.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well, yes, but there was also the journey home.

The journey to my home will be frought with danger...

They must survive:

Cruel Paint-App torture in bizarre factories of foreign lands...

The brutal crush of USPS...

My own 'all-seeing EYE' of approval...

And most frightening of all -- approval from "The Boards"!
