Just bought a RWoS!!

[revilal]

Congrats on a great piece.

I have my display cabinet coming in 2 weeks which cost me $2000. Expensive, yes, but well worth it considering it will show off my collection as well as protect it from dust and prying hands. 10mm toughened fully adjustable shelves...

Prying hands is right... my cousin came for a visit a few days ago and I was showing her my collection. All of a sudden she says "wow that's cool!", reaches out and is literally pulling Sauron's Ring finger! I froze. Hoping she would let go NOW. I didn't want to appear like a girl, telling her to stop touching it! She withdraws, only to again flick Sauron's finger. I finally told her to "Stop!" Apparently she thought that the Sauron statue was made of metal, just like the 1/4 Sauron helm that stands right next to the statue. Ufff...

People are so dumb.. Pulling and flicking a fragile finger.. omg..

I've had that to but stopped her before she touched it so it would brake.
Almost gave me a heart attack

I managed to stop my girlfriends dad to "weigh" my RWoS just in time... He too was misleaded, and thought it was made of metal! Ever had that "heart attack" feeling? Yes, me too...
My Attakus Vader is also a popular target. "What is it made of...?" and in the next second, a hand reaches out for it (imagine this in slow mo), to "feel" the material.
I just wish ppl wouldn't touch these things. If you tell them how much these thing cost, to convince them to be careful and don't touch it, their faces go pale, and with an plane expression they declare: "I would never spend that kind of money on a bla bla bla..." Just makes me sick.

Yes i've had that heart attack feeling to.

And the second thing sounds very familiar.

I am very glad to see that it arrived perfectly Tom, and it doesn't have the infamous "red heel" either.

Hey Revilal, did you buy the cabinet online? If so, any chance you could provide a link? I'm looking into buying a cabinet myself, and am interested in seeing different options.

I bought mine from this website. They had the best prices I could find, plus there was no tax and free shipping. A very good selection of cabinets.

Great pick-up Tom, to me it's THE most iconic piece of the lot!

 

[warlock664]

Thanks Tom !

Congrats! I have one and love it. I am sure you will too.

The only ones I still want to go back and get are.

Uruk Hai swordsman

There were a few other busts and status I missed out on ( cave troll ), but once I have these 4 that will complete all the ones I want.

**Can your RWoS come out to play??

Most of us treat the RWoS carefully, like a baby... and others... have a look:

I have no words for this.

Actually, I was thinking about displaying mine in the backyard as well. This gives me a good idea about how nice it will look!

Make sure you don't mow the lawn; horses tend to have worked up an appetite after spending a long time in the box .
