I'd still prefer the 5-6 per year number SS alluded to in July. Esp. since most collectors these days don't seem to be completeists and most will be picking and choosing only the ones they really want anyway.

This is supposed to be my only line, and I want to be a completist, but will avoid an order if something is completely amiss with one of the releases. Still, I'm hoping that SS intends to follow through on the promise of an expansive line...
I suppose it all depends on what else you collect. At these prices for me 1 per quarter is best and thats with me only getting a certain few.

Oh January, why do you have to be so far away? I'm not in the habit of wishing days or weeks away, but I'm so ready for the Legolas announcement. But, I would like to hear what SS has to say about the future plans for this line before committing to a NRD.

Yeah Josh, I'm with you, one a quarter sounds good to me. Hoping to keep my PF collection going in conjunction with the maquette line...well I did say hoping!
That makes you, me and the rest of the members I should think furystorm...you would think SS would want to keep us interested. Really need a lot more news on both product development and future plans IMHO.

Bill! Welcome to the forum. You just got me excited to see this thread bumped and I thought I missed something in yesterday's newsletter. This is my most anticipated release because Legolas is my favorite character, it will help solidify the line, and three at least actually makes this a line.

My pleasure. And I share your sentiments....I'm just shocked at how beautiful that collection looks together. I guess some things are worth waiting for....

Nice! I'm glad this is the line I'm focusing on from now on.

Are you on the square?
OK, I think I won't cancel these now. 
Very nice! I'm liking the Legolas a lot more than I thought I would. And that Arwen looks fantastic! (Can't wait for Gimli!)
Still might cancel my Gandalf pre-order, though. The only one of the bunch that just isn't working for me ...

He does seem a little off but not enough for me to bail on him.

The Legolas has a much more dynamic pose than I would have thought given some of the other preview pictures we've seen. This sort of action-pose next to Gandalf helps make the Gandalf work a little better for me, as the whole line seems poised to leap off the shelf. Not too outrageous in designs, but avoiding the rigid standing figures that some other manufacturers tend towards. Bowen Designs make some amazing statues, but the poses are very similar for a lot of their characters. I think this approach makes for a much more interesting display. Can't wait to see how hobbits will be handled in this line!

It's a personal thing, but i prefer the 'standing' figures, that just concentrate on the character and the costuming/armour. Having an entire collection of action-posed statues can look too cheesy. It depends on the subject. The strider statue is perfect because that IS Strider. I think Gandalf the White should be in a dramatic pose, not the Grey, but i guess we've seen every other GTG product in a more static state, Sideshow thought they'd change it here. Maybe they'll give us a static GTW, maybe sat in Minas Tirith mourning Faramir and his army when they ride out to try to re-claim Osgiliath....... or not!

Too true that it comes down to taste, and I like the more demure "standing" pose for the Premium Format line, and I am hoping to collect both lines concurrently as funds allow, so I like the action pose as different angle on the character. I even hope that the costuming is different across the lines to provide variety! I was worried about these looking like SW Unleashed figures, but I don't find the action poses too "Extreme!!!"
