Barnald 365 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I don't collect WETA stuff (the Blu-ray/DVD statues aside), but every once in a while they release an awesome piece I'd love to have (Thror on his Throne, Armoured Azog, the Front Gate of Erebor).

Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 What's the Creating Gollum disc that was packaged with TTT EE with the Gollum statue. Is it worth getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It is about creating the Gollum statue that came with the collector's edition, a little documentary on Weta Sideshow basically. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ah right. That's not really worth getting so. Those sets were super expensive when they came out (I was 11, 12, and 13 for each one) so I had to go for the cheaper standard release without the statues that still set me back 50 each!

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I see this subforum is pretty inactive nowadays. Any chance of it ever being moved out of GD?

mstrox 6,647 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There is sure to be at least one more "blow-up" on this forum, once Doug's book comes out.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It'd just be nice to have the legend that is JWFan General Discussion actually look like the place upon opening it up. The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien taking up the prime page real estate in the massively popular mobile view doesn't really make any sense, especially to casual visitors to the site. But hey ho, just my opinion. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using that for a while but I begun to notice that due to my browsing habits here I would sometimes miss threads. So I returned to using GD as my landing spot when opening the site. 10 minutes ago, BloodBoal said: But is it the way of the JWFANs? Who knows?

Oh shut up, I'm not really complaining. It was simply an observational idea. And if you want to get into "minority" finger pointing, I don't think a graveyard subforum is a good place to be coming at it from. Ringers sure are sensitive fuckers aren't they.
