I have GOT to get a 4K TV and Blu-ray player.

You do! And prices are decent enough now!

Not being much of an AV guy, it's a little overwhelming. Gotta do the research, though. Will need a whole new sound system, too....

I'm not much much of an audiophile myself, but what I've found really blows me away is Atmos. If you can get something set up with Atmos is imo the most impressive audio wise.

As for TVs. You can't really go wrong with anything Samsung, Sony or LG. OLEDs and QLEDs are both impressive. But if you can get a very nice LED 4K HDR TVs for much cheaper now.

4K. And HDR are your biggest wants. HDR that can handle Dolby Vision and/or HDR10 etc. And if you can find one with local dimming is preferable. I'm actually hoping to pick up a new TV either this year or next Black Friday one with Local dimming.

Awesome. Thank you for the tips!

Been gone for the Thanksgiving week... no changes in Gandalf shipping? Still awaiting that "next batch"...

Blu ray players are pretty affordable. Depending on size and type so are 4K TVs. Imho OLED is well worth it, as the pure black (with OLED for the color black the pixel emits no light) makes for a truly stunning image. Then find a good deal on a Dolby Atmos sound bar and you’re good to go. But seriously, if you want to save money there’s great deals out there on 4K TVs. They don’t cost the arm and a leg that they used to.

Edit: A soundbar with subwoofer included is also well worth it. (Some come without subwoofers.) You want that low rumble that you can physically feel for the big action scenes.

Beautiful shots Rzeznikk

 

[Antarion]

Awesome shots. Such a beautiful figure. I hope mine arrives in the next 3 month...

 

[Rzeznikk]

Thanks guys. I just can't get enought of this figure....

@Life_m2000 That's awesome that yours is on the way! My order number is 113022 so I'm guardedly optimistic at best.

Mine is #60901 and I've received no communication whatsoever. No invoice, no update

Holy shoot.

I showed these pictures to my friends, but none of them realized it was a 1/6 Gandalf figure.
This figure is FANTASTIC.

Kit said on FB earlier today that a new batch should be coming in the next few days but it is relatively small (10% of the total).

Can you link me where he posted it? I cant find it on the store page.

saw it posted on his onesixthkit fb group
absolutely nuts that kit has only gotten through 10% of his orders

Wouldn't this be his 2nd batch though? Not sure what percentage he got before.

I'm guessing this next batch is less that 10% of all the orders. Not including the last two batches.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Kit's had 2 Batches already? So this would be #3?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

It actually feels kind of cool that they are coming out in batches like this. Makes them seem less mass-produced and more artisanal. Like they're being made to order by craftsmen, not manufactured.

And yes, I know all figures are handmade to some degree, but somehow this feels more custom. Kinda?

OR, this is just my brain trying to justify not being able to immediately have the expensive toy that the other kids have!
