Lord of the Rings figures

[Reefer Shark]

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say hi. I'm a huge collector of ToyBiz LOTR & have everything from FOTR, TTT, & ROTK. Now it's on to the Trilogy line!

Check your Suncoast stores if you haven't already. I went to my local one last night and made a pretty good score:

King Aragorn
Pippin in Armor
Gandalf the White (repaint)
Gandalf the Grey (repaint, cloth cloak)
Strider (horse figure rehash)

They had a bunch of others as well (Eowyn, Gimli, FOTR & TTT Legolas, etc...), but I had to limit myself as they were $6.99 each. I've also scored some good trilogy figs at Target lately (Boromir, ROTK Legolas, Harad archer, etc..).

Good luck with your hunts! And here's to hoping that ToyBiz makes a Gothmog figure someday

Howdy, nice to see a new face on the forums. Looks like you scored some cool figures. But i try to avoid buying toys from Suncoast due to the mark up, unless its something that i dont think ill be seeing again (such as the Red ARC trooper i need to go back for) or its hard to find at regular retailers. And i agree, a Gothmog figure would be nice.

Thanks for the welcome Kool-aid & Brainiak!

I'm in the San Fernando Vally, SoCal. Keep checking, the trilogy figures are bound to show up for you soon! I'm still wanting the trilogy Arwen w/Hadhafang (SP?) pretty badly..... Only a matter of time...

I got the Harad Archer and Galadriel in Trilogy packaging today, my first. Im really loving ToyBiz doing this, what better way to have an AFFORDABLE second chance at some of those tough figures I wanted but didn't get along the way. Im thrilled, and the price (12.99 CDN at the comic store - same as regular TRU price) is more than worth the toy.

Please excuse my NEWBIE-ness to this topic, but whats the deal with the Trilogy figures? Are these just figures from LOTR and TTT repackaged?

At any rate, which figure would you recommend. If memory serves, the prices on these were pretty low.

Mostly repacks, but some new figures too.

Which figure? Are you only going to buy one? Buy the one you like best. But at the new price, I would recommend them all.

I'd recommend the Harad Archer, he's the only new figure I have so far, and he's great. From pics only King Elessar (Aragorn with Crown) looks amazing, as does the WitchKing of Angmar. I'll be getting those as soon as I can find them.

Have a few of them where I'm at jjreason, if want I can pick up a few of them for you.

Here is what I scored about a week ago:

Gandalf the Grey head sculpt one suncoast
Gandalf the Grey head sculpt two TRU
Arwen TRU
Elrond TRU
Galadriel TRU
Legolas FOTR Suncoast and TRU
Gandalf the Whiter TTT Suncoast
Cross Bow Uruk Hai TTT TRU
Traveling Bilbo FOTR TRU

Anyway...I am excited about this figures...no the Bilbo does not have the diorama so I will probably trade him. He is still an awesome figure.

Yes, I can post pictures of the difference in the Gandalf heads. Enjoy!

PS. The main difference is this: one shows teeth, one does not!!!!!!!
