Statue Witch-King (Ringwraith) Maquette

[comiclover47]

I was lucky to get one just before it sold out. I hope it turns out as great as it looks right now!

Today, I've received the new dates por the Flexpay payments for this item:

7/25/2012 $75.00
8/25/2012 $75.00
9/25/2012 $74.99

We can see there's a two months delay now.
This is just to advice the people who has not the FLEXPAY option and cannot know it.

So looks like this is getting pushed back to September. Wonder if the other two left to ship will be moved around?

A September release is fine with me. Too many items hitting around the next few months. My wallet needs to recuperate!

I agree, as much as I want the Witch-King - a little breathing room is fine by me. The next few of months on the calendar in my SSC account seem to be covered in yellow.

Product page now officially says September now for the Ringwraith.

So as it stands now we're looking at Boromir sometime this month according to the product page, Snow Troll in August, and the Ringwraith in September.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

With so much stuff hitting at once, like others stated, I can deal with a delay. No biggie.

 

[Boromir]

If I look at Gimli and Arwen I don't take estimate shipping dates to serious. Just be sure to have the funds in hand when you order and nothing can go wrong.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, dates are always flexible for the most part but when they list a month you can count on it being pretty close to that.

Sideshow Ringwraith Polystone Statue

Well...I only thought I was a true collector until I joined this amazing forum and my God my eyes have been opened to far bigger and better figures...this is a beautiful hobby to be a part of and I am definately proud to be a part of the community and considered a collector for life. I decided to step up to Sideshow's Statues. So far I will be receiving 3 PF's from their "the Dead" line and now I just came across a picture of their "Ringwraith".
I do love "the Lord of the Rings" movies and have read the novels but that is not why I am thinking of Pre-ordering this one...I just think he looks completely bad as*.
I noticed the exclusive edition sold out which had an exclusive hand with a dagger but honestly that is not something I really care about anyway.
I am just curious to see if anyone here has anything to say about this particular Ringwraith.
Like I said I am new to PF's and Sideshow Statues in general but absolutely love demon type figures especially ones with capes and swords.

I already have 4 figures I have purchased that I am waiting on to receive...this is going to be without a doubt the happiest Month for me as a collector. ...but Being that this is a Pre-order, I can afford to add him to my list and also this will ensure that he does not sell out on me leaving me to pay much more for him on EBay.

This is the Ringwraith I am referring to:

Thanks in advance for any comments as to whether or not this will be a figure worth having.

EDIT: mods/admin thank you for moving my post I am still getting used to using this forum. I apologize for not taking my time to search first.

Welcome to the board first off and I agree this place is a great place to be.

I merged your post/new thread with the current thread on this statue. This statue should be a pretty damn good looking statue and a must really.

Thanks for the welcome and I appreciate you merging my post to this one...my questions regarding the Sideshow "Ringwraith" have been answered.
I went ahead and Pre-ordered him...like I mentioned not having the extra hand with dagger means nothing to me...and I sure as Hell am not going to pay like over $600.00 on EBay just to say I've got one with a dagger. I mean just look at the picture of this guy he is a beautiful figure in that dark evil way which I love. I noticed he is only 1/6 scale but that is just fine with me. I like the idea of having figures and sculptures in different sizes. So looks like this one will be shipping out in September which is perfect because my wallet and bank account has been pretty much emptied this month from just the past week of orderding new figures.
I will definately be staying on top of things regarding new figures coming out especially with Sideshow PF Exclusives because one that I was looking at the Sideshow "Uruk Hai Berserker" sold out and if I want that one I am looking at spending over $4000.00 on EBay which I am not going to do. Yes he is one phenomenal piece of art to have but asking that much is definately abusing people...especially in a time where our economy is falling again that price is ridiculous...again I will be staying on top of all new Pre-orders there are still Plenty of figures I will be buying.

The last time I remember feeling this happy about receiving collectible figures I was about 9 years old on Christmas day and got a whole bunch of Ninja Turtle toys, lol. It is so nice to stir up those feelings I had when I was a kid now as a grown man.

Again just look at this picture...this is without a doubt a must have and I would not miss out on him:

Hey Septic Flesh, welcome to the forum. One thing I might suggest is putting the exclusive on waitlst if you didnt pay a deposit on the regular. You may not care about the dagger but others likely will, it always seems to be that way. And for the same upfront cost of 250 dollars you have much greater down the line potential for the piece to hold its value if you buy the ex.

My 2 cents.

Well a good question is what are the odds that more of an exclusive item will be back in stock?
Also I never plan to sell any of my figures but I understand what you are saying.

Welcome aboard SepticFlesh ...always nice to see new members here.

I have no doubt you will love the Ringwraith when you get him.

Another one I know you will be interested in is the up-coming Ringwraith on Steed PF.

We will get to see in at the SDCC, if not before.

Now you have decided to wet you feet in the LOTR collectables world, you may find you will get quite a lot of that 9 year old's Christmas feeling, time and time again.

I already need help...because I am seriously thinking about dishing out some serious cash for a "Morgul Lord" off of EBay. Man they are expensive. I need to just calm down and breathe...okay I have a Ringwraith on Pre-order, an Undying Carcass and a Templar's Verdict on the way, a Frozen Dead on Pre-order, and a Samurai Predator on Pre-order.
That is quite a bit of figures to be receiving not to mention 3 out of 5 of those I should have within a week.

I think I can hold out on the Morgul Lord for now because I am really dishing out money and I am not exactly rich...I just know how to make things work out when I really need them to.
If I still come across similar deals on EBay for the Morgul Lord (exclusive or regular) in about a month I'll grab him then and not have to worry about killing my bank account. I just need to slow down a little bit...I am sure many know and have dealt with this problem before.

 

[Boromir]

It's tough if you're collecting many different lines.
I decided to collect LOTR maquettes and helms only and some Minichamps MotoGP Bikes because they aren't expensive.

 

[bill59]

Yeah, I find it hard enough to keep up with just the one license.

But when that license is LOTR...one is enough.

yeah when your collecting on a budget, like others said thats when priorities come into play. Who do you want more. Ive canceled orders when something else popped up that I thought would fit my collection more or just for the mere fact of I liked character "A" more than character "B". Welcome to the board

Honestly, the chances are good this will come in stock again. They usually do near the time of shipping.
