Bormomir 1750 EX, 2000 Reg.
Legolas 1750 EX, 3500 Reg.
Aragorn 1750 EX, 4000! Reg.
Farmair 1250 EX and Reg still TBD.

Hobbits are 1500 EX, 2000 Reg so I think about the same for Gandalf.

I don't know what the sellout times were, probably buried in a thread somewhere, but I know they all took a long time to sellout the exclusives.

I thought the Ex. hobbits sold out within a day or two. I didn't get into the 12" LOTR line until after this happened, but luckily waitlist converted.
 
You know . . .for a line that's purportedly fading from the limelight -- 109 pages of posts seems to dispel that myth.

If there's anything that disappoints me with the figure is the lack of any attempt to weather the outfit. I mean, it looks like GTG just put on a brand new business suit and is headed to work. What happened to the great weathering that was present when Aragorn came out?

This GTG looks more like a Kenner or Barbie doll, than a Sideshow one! Where's the love for GTG!

The $90 price mark doesn't affect me, as long as we can tell that Sideshow put their best effort into it. The layers of clothes certainly adds to that price, albeit the quality of the cloth may not. Hopefully Sideshow finds it in their hearts that GTG is one of the top figures and needs all the love he deserves!

I think they handled the hat well. The beard was a toss-up, but based on the unpainted model, looks like they nailed Ian McKellen's likeness. They could probably tweak that beard paint app a bit better. I'm not sure if I can keep up with reading these pages -- it took me several days just to keep up.

Totally agree. Sideshow needs to dirty Gandy up a bit.

Gandy is too Dandy.
 
After careful thought and consideration, I decided to cancel my SS EXCLUSIVE GTG...




...But only because it's still available and I was able to re-order it with my REWARDS POINTS! Took $75 off the price, so it only cost me $15! :rock

Hopefully that will relieve some of the stress of the ding my CC will take when GTG, Indy and Obi-Wan in armor hit...not to mention those A L I E N spacesuit figures!

...I would NEVER fully cancel this figure...this was one I was MOST looking forward to. Now we need Gimli, Merry & Pippin...and Saruman and a Wringwraith (I'd buy 3!)...at the very least...any other figure in this line would be gravy (Theoden, Eomer, Wormtongue, Orc in armor, Uruk-Hai, etc.)

yeah after that first sentence i was ready to +++++ slap you.:lol i like carbo's idea about working more instead of complaining.
 
I can't believe the exclusive is still available. Even with the price tag and the Buck, I figured for sure it'd be gone by now. It'll be interesting to see where the edition size ends up.
