Quick Question...

[ealgylden]

Okay, I know everyone and her sister is off wallowing in Two Towersian delights (I'm hoping to pick up a copy tomorrow, not that the DVD player's hooked up. Still), but meanwhile I have a quick LotR toy question. Has anyone seen the Armies of Middle Earth toys in real life? All I have to go on are some itty-bitty pictures online, but they seem really neat (in concept). There are several I think I'd want (Boromir and his hobbits, Haldir and friends, Legolas and Gimli, Eomer on horseback and the Eomer/Eowyn/expendable footsoldier, at least), but only if they aren't just little plastic blobs. Has anyone come across them, or know where I can see better (and bigger) pictures?

Right then, back to pining for TTT and feeling sorry for myself. Headache, nothing big. I'm just feeling whiny. Maybe I'll go watch Labyrinth or something equally comfort foodish.

Plus, did you see the PRICE? I'd have a handful if it didn't cost me an arm (in which case I'd have no hand to hold said figures, rendering them USELESS). For a trio of small (but well painted and sculpted) PVC figures, I cannot pay 8 bucks or more. The entire point of the line is to build armies... not even Sauron paid that much for HIS evil army. I mean, he used, like, trees and mud and pop tarts 'n' stuff. I'm sure Kraft Mac n Cheese was in there somewhere too.

Find 'em in TRU, where they're just hitting NY in the past week.

Exactly, they're much too expensive for army-building (which is why I wanted them, of course). Who has that kind of cash these days? Guess I'll be sticking with the 6" figures- at least I know those are well-done.
