I wasn't using the link, though that probably would've saved me a few seconds. I just had the OSK search page for "InArt" pulled up.

So to all the people with magnet issue: are the polarities reversed? Were they perhaps installed incorrectly and the magnets are pushing instead of pulling?

No definitely not, on the left staff holding hand (haven’t got around to checking the others) there isn’t enough space in the hand for the peg to fit in properly.

Glad it's not just me, can't for the life of me get the staff holding hand to stay on the peg. Even the magnet doesn't seem to work on that one, hand keeps falling off at the slightest touch so no chance of any dynamic posing. Ended up using the neutral hand to hold the staff in his right hand. Which doesn't look too bad but it's frustrating for a figure in this price range.

yep. The left grip hand just falls off the peg. Doesn’t hold at all. Multiple people in the previous pages have the same issue with the same hand.

Idk if anyone cares but LOTR will be back in theatres in June at AMC for one day only. If you haven’t seen it in theaters it might be your best chance. I bought for all 3 movies yesterday and like 20 seats are now taken

I saw that earlier today. It's clearly a sign that I need to keep working on locking down a Gandalf and Aragorn order.

I haven't made the upgrade to the 4K trilogy yet, so this'll be a great chance to see it again. The real question is whether the Mrs. is willing to sit through the Extended Editions with me, or if I'm gonna have to take myself on a solo movie date.

3:14 AM ..? OK....

Honestly, if InArt would just transition to including wrist pegs for each hand, they'd already be a step above Hot Toys.

If I'm honest I don't really understand the purpose of the magnet pegs. They really add nothing to the figure accept making it a little bit easier to swap.

However if they break or magnets are wrong facing then what do you do?

Gandalf is up again at OSK.

Got a Gandalf from Kit this morning. Almost had it yesterday but hesitated too long and missed. This morning though I was ready and no screwing around. Pretty stoked to get it!

 

[webhead05]

Nabbed one this morning, too! I'm so stoked. Now, I can turn all my attention to Aragorn.

I gave some water treatment to the clothes, it makes a lot of difference.

Mine is finally getting delivered from Spec today. I got an email with my tracking number over a month ago lol.

Someone on FB said they had one in their cart and by the time they completed the, not a bot thing, it was gone. Feel bad for them.

I’m curious how many extras Kit has. I think he started putting them up on Tuesday or Wednesday. They go pretty fast so I’m guessing can’t be a ton but still seems like a fair amount to be able to distribute.

damn did y’all stay up all night and wait for it?

Hopefully resellers got zero

The drop was at 7AM my time, which... I mean, I don't love setting an alarm at that time on a Saturday, but for this piece, it was worth it. Seems like Kit has a fair number of these, considering this is the third drop so far and I'm seeing a bunch of "Got one!" comments on FB every time.

I set an alarm. Kit had said around 7am (at least my time) so I got up a bit before then and logged into the site. Did a search for InArt and kept refreshing.

How much is he selling them for?
