No, I freely admit I was totally wrong. There is far more detail in it than I could have imagined just looking at pictures. If you're thinking about getting it do so.

Bag End CE Review

Thanks my friend ! Looks like a keeper.

No problem. It really is and IMO orthanc and Rivendell are even better.

I just hope that Weta will be making a Barad-dur environment. Can you imagine the sight of that next to Orthanc? Bad ass right there.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

I think they will and I have no doubts that it will be jaw dropping.

Off Topic: But I would really like to see the Weta Cave and Workshop in New Zealand to see all their great stuff up close. Even go to the sites where they filmed The Lord of the Rings.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

No big surprise. I didn't expect them to ship by the beginning of April.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Pretty big piece. I never really realized that it's almost as big as the Gandalf maquette.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Oh yeah its a large piece. So impressive to see in person.

Here's a video I took at comic-con of the Weta booth.

I am wary of weta quality, will wait for in hand reviews before deciding. No hurry as it's open edition now anyway.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Nothing to be weary of IMO.

Their paint is pretty bad imo, i got one of the dr gorbort gun & templar from hellgate both looked like crap. And the rivendell issues posted didnt help.

I like the stuff they make, but not their quality. Will wait for in hand reviews before buying anything from this company going forward, it's several tiers lower than sideshow, probably around dc direct level i think.
