Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

thank God this isn't considered a LSF. Now it's a no brainer for me. I won't be paying $2k for Sauron.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

I have no idea of price point. I would guess somewhere around Big Chap maquette or more.

It could fall under LSF status just because of sheer total size like the 1/4 Wolf Pred did.

Wonder if they will put it under LSF and charge $2,000.

that's fine by me, cause they won't sell even 10 of these if it's that price, even half that price, I'm out. I won't fall for Sideshow price gouging. I'm glad you confirmed Wolf is indeed 1/4 SS :yess:
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

Besides the Trooper on Speederbike, I believe the Ringwraith on Steed and Sauron will be two of the largest premium formats so far. You already have a huge Nazgul on top of a very large horse and then you have Sauron who everyone knows is pretty much a giant. I know they'll be super expensive so if they are released too close together then I'll only be able to choose one even they are BOTH my most wanted.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

I know there's been speculation either way -- PF vs. LSF -- but has Sideshow actually used the full official name of this piece anywhere yet?

I know they name-checked Sauron in their LSF announcement, so he's pretty much certain to be in that format. But have they actually publically called the RWoS a PF?

The only place I've seen the "official" name even glimpsed is in the drill-down title menu under the Production Peek video ... but the title is cut off before it gets to the part where "Premium Format" would/should/might be. :gah: All you can see is "Production Peek: Dark Rider of Mordor - Ringw" before it cuts off.

Has anybody seen the title anywhere else?

yea but the Sauron LSF will prolly be open ES, so you can get it years later.

I thought it was confirmed as a pf :dunno

That's what I thought, too. But I'm not finding anything official and concrete.

I'm sure it will be a PF, but I'm just being paranoid.

If it is officially a PF, then I can see the price coming in around the $800 (or hopefully less) range. If they call it an LSF ... well, all bets are off price-wise.

So, yeah, I'm being paranoid. But given how far beyond my budget the LSF prices are, I'm just a little scared that yet another of my grails will be beyond my reach! :monkey2
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

Thanks Slynger, I was just coming to post that link!:hi5:

So the Ringwraith and Steed will indeed be a Premium Format, but I think the price point will still be close to the $800.00 mark considering the speeder bike in the star wars line.

I really hope we get a PF soon, so I know how many organs I will need to sell to afford this. I am not missing this one!

You actually think SSC is going to go back to 2007 for the price on this?

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

Khev, thanks for the gif!!!:rotfl I don't think that Sideshow will revert back to 2007 prices, but it is the most similar product to compare to in terms of what has been offered. I am hoping for a price close to $800.00, but I am realistically expecting $1,000.00.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

And how many die-hard fans bought the Speeder Bike PF? As much as I can appreciate this, the owning of the RWOS doesn't make me want to fork out that much money for a PF . . .

If they drop the ES to 100 . . .then it'll make it hard to say no.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

Its amazing that SS has found us willing to pay more for these collectibles since 2007 and the end of the good times. Maybe they bank on escapism.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

I think we are all feeling the economic reality these days, and this stuff is pure escapism, and I could really use this escape!!!

I used to be a much more voracious collector, but LOTR PF and maquettes are my only vice these days. I used to have a much wider array of things I collected, and have reined it in to only collect LOTR. This will be a stretch for sure, and I will need to sacrifice in other areas, but I think this will be the centerpoint of a collection. My hope is that Sideshow pumps the brakes on the maquettes and the PF line while this is being flexpayed! If the cost is truly outrageous, I might even consider axing the maquette collection to simply keep up with the Premium Formats.

My only concern with collecting the PF line only is that I really want a complete Fellowship, and the maquette line has some great alternate representations already in the pipeline of the core characters.

And Sideshow eventually sold 1500 of those speederbikes! I would expect a much more conservative ES for this, given the current economic situations.

Probably so, but based on how many things are second chance, or sent as email blasts it seems that they are miscalculating at least a bit.
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

Not much really. Take a look at what's on GL. It's usually super exspensive items or really niche. There are some things in between of course but as a whole the really good/popular stuff does t make it. As far as the price on this I'd say 800-1k is probably a good bet. Could reach 1200 but that's max I'd say.

true. I know I have my limit on this piece, anything over 1k, is a no go for me. This would prolly be my last LOTR piece ever unless my financial's change in the future, I know I won't pay 2k for Sauron. The ES would not be that low on this. Just basing off of the demand for this piece, SS could price this under 1k, and sell prolly 1,000 of these eventually if it even has an Ex. No Ex would prolly keep the ES b/w 500-750
 
Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF

I think you guys are nuts about this thing being $800+.

It's PF...will be around $400-500 given the size.

Of course knowing how much milking ss is doing lately, i wont be surprised at anything anymore.
