NEXT LOTR 12" Figure...?

[Wor-Gar]

I hope they don't hold this GANDALF until post Thanksgiving.

As it is, the PPO would have to be... what? Friday? Right after TG? That might be tough for people. Maybe Monday...

This may also be an indication of how things will be from here on out. Frodo and Sam in Q1 with Gandalf in Q2... Maybe we'll start getting LOTR PPO's every quarter (or is that too optimistic?).

 

[Protozaius]

"you" freaks? Are you not a freak too?

Yeah I'm a freak alright... just a very observant one.

 

[pixletwin]

Not very observant if you missed that pic. Some sites even had it on their front page.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Maybe he meant observer . . . though I can't blame him if he didn't notice it. That picture is really obscure; I'd have an easier time picking out Waldo at Times Square on New Year's Eve than finding little clues like this. I just hope we see something definite soon.

I don't surf the web like I used to. I'm lucky if I post here on an average of three times a day. And this board is the ONLY place I post.

I guess I'm feeling less Freakish nowadays.

Well, back to topic... I am surprised that a 12" Gandalf is so close to being announced since we did get the GTW PF and GTG in the LSB announcements. As for the poll... I voted for Saruman. I think the 12"ers need a bad guy.

 

[Captain Faramir]

When we do get a villain, Saruman is definitely #1 on my list.

 

[The Mike]

Not me. Give me the Witch King in true form or Lurtz first.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Eh, I can wait before we get any orcs or stuff. Saruman is the only bad guy I'm really anxious to see.

But then, I'll be happy with almost anything at this point.

 

[Protozaius]

I second that.

GANDALF next week!!!

From the newsletter:

Friday, November 23rd. Collectors can expect some valuable discounts and specials, a couple of fun contests and giveaways, and exciting new product pre-orders (from Universal Monsters, LOTR, Star Wars, and more!), all reflecting the themes of Black & White, Dark & Light, Bad & Good (and a few Shades of Gray)!

Shades of Gray kind of gives it away!

 

[Seaward]

It certainly seems to suggest that Gandalf is going to be up for order next week! Cool!

 

[Captain Faramir]

JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE let this be true--I need more LOTR!

 

[The Josh]

I'm thinking a GTG 1:6th or a Nazgul PF.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yep, sounds like 1:6 Gandalf to me. I can't imagine they would put it up for order on B&W Friday though without a PPO notice. Same with the Star Wars item(s). But I guess they DID do it with Spooktacular so who knows?

 

[The Mike]

Black Friday for GTG PO? Damn it. The wife likes to go shopping....I'll have to keep the phone handy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It has to be Gandalf... just the clue alone, plus we've seen the figure at SS.

Unless of course it's a Tonner Ringwraithe...

 

[Buttmunch]

Just re-read it. It says NO previews on that day, just orders

I'm guessing the Wednesday newsletter will have the previews!

A gandalf 1:6 would be a PPO for sure. its probably something else.

 

[The Josh]

It sounds like GTG for sure but I'm telling ya I can see a PF Ringwraith too or instead of.
