I like the art print trend but I collect art prints. I guess it depend on if you collect them or not. You don't have to get them framed though.

Weta Rivendell Review

josh while your reviews are always great to read, in this case it's a bit misleading to the potential buyers by not mentioning all those common issues identified in this thread and the vinyl roof.

this was one of my must buy pieces but after looking at the user photos i have zero desire to own it anymore and glad i waited for the actual photos before ordering.

Everyone has different levels of expectations and paint quality of their pieces, i think it's only fair to mention the bad along with the good so the buyers can make an informed decision.

 

[The Josh]

I don't think there is anything misleading in my review. There are a small handful of pieces with issues. If it was the entire run that would be one thing but its not so I didn't feel it to be an issue. I mentioned the roof and that I thought it was a good choice.

That fine. Its one of the most striking pieces from LOTR that I've owned.

Gorgeous! Congrats, Josh!

The thing is Josh, only a handful of pieces have been shipped so far. Now I love Weta as much as the next guy and while the colours on yours looks just fine and it seems the decals are all good, yours has the same alignment and gap issues that all the others have had.

Yes, not a full run of the first 300 have been shipped but only a handful of that have any kind of major issues. Yeah, there are a couple of tiny gap issues but neither to the naked eye are something that bothered me.

I have just received mine and I am happy it is before Christmas but there is a little issue with the screws at the base that end up damaging the box.

Hopefully Weta can do something about it

 

[FrodoEyes]

Meh, it's only a box. Shouldn't affect any re-sale should you chose to sell in the future. As long as the statue hasn't got any holes in!

Guess I am the only person who is very particular about keeping everything intact!

How much did the shipping to Singapore come up to?

You're not the only person to think so. The design is flawed and the damaged box would be unacceptable to me as well. I sincerely hope Weta will take care of it for you.

close to 150SGD.... very steep..

[Fremen]

That's what I was wondering as well.

I don´t know what to do, to cancel or not to cancel, that is the question

 

[FrodoEyes]

Not

If you do cancel and it is 1 of the 300 numbered, then you could offer it out to a forum member who might have missed out before cancelling
