This is exciting news for me... I also e-mailed bridge direct only yestereday and asked about release dates and when we will see images, they said 1st of October for "official images and product".

But somehow I imagine the figures to be later and images earlier although a 1st of October shelf date would rock with me. Rarely does a product hit shelves before the public has at least had a glimpse of what is to come.

Hopefully these hit stores in time for my girlfriends birthday. She is a mad LOTR fan and loves the toys, even though I play with them when she's not looking :p

Really excited about the collectors edition wave, $20 a figure doesn't seem to expensive these days for a figure of that scale and hopefully of comparable detail to the toybiz figures of old.

What are your thoughts?


EDIT: Could a mod please edit the title to assortments revealed instead of waves? And maybe say no images. Was a bit excited in my post and in hind sight the title is misleading. Sorry if i got anyone's hopes up thinking that official pics were out. My bad
