I absolutely LOVED Legolas' fighting style in the movie! He kicked major butt with those arrows! I'd love to get his action figure! Unfortunately its rather hard to find.

Ain't that the truth! He makes archery look easy. Man, I guess I should start looking for some LOTR figs soon, if they're becoming hard to find. I heard that the movie got around 13 oscar nominations.

Wow. I think this movie's gonna take some gold home.

Shyaa... tell me about it. I didn't get them when they first came out, cause I wanted the price to drop after the holidays were over. Bad move! Now all I find are the ORCS! F'ing orcs all over the place...

Legolas - "Well, *I* killed 28 orcs!"
Gimli - "So, I killed 20!"
Legolas - "HA HA HA HA! Loo-hooo-seh-er!"

Upon the release of the TTT next winter, they said they'll release another round of figures. In the meanwhile, I wonder what could be found in eBay... that one of the Ring Wraith on a horse that rears up and paws sounds cool too.

THAT MOVIE ROCKED!!! (nowhere near as good as te turtles but) like the graphics and things almost made them look real, it was so cool i seen it a couple of nights ago. and i can see how they got 13 nominations!!!

**Kali** · 02-16-2002, 12:22 PM

Am I the only one who's never seen that movie?

**HorseTechie** · 02-16-2002, 02:07 PM

*looks oddly at Kali* You haven't?!?

Nah... it's okay. I haven't seen Harry *cringe* Potter yet.

*Skeletoncrew* · 02-16-2002, 04:22 PM

The movie is spectacular! I've seen it twice and it was even better the 2nd time!

Here are my observations on the action figures:

Gimli, Orc overseer, Newborn Lurtz, and Saruman are the easiest to find.

Strider (a Target exclusive) is the hardest ti find. He's currently going for $40.00 on the secondary market.

I've only seen the larger pieces (Cave Troll, Arwen and Asfaloth, Ringwraith and horse, and the twin packs) at Toys R Us. But then, I haven't checked any other large toy stores.

Prices are $7.99 and up for individual figures, $12.99 for twin packs, and $19.99 for the Cave troll and horse/rider sets.

And now that I've said all that, I have a wicked urge to go check out Target and Toys R Us.

**azure turtle** · 02-16-2002, 11:37 PM

LOTR was a pretty sweet movie, Kali. I highly recommend watching it on the big screen!
Argh! I knew I should've started getting some LOTR figs when I had the chance. Oh well. Maybe I'll wait for the next movie

*Skeletoncrew* · 02-18-2002, 01:07 AM

Oh, don't be discouraged. Its not like they're not still making them. They're still coming out with new ones!

**azure turtle** · 02-18-2002, 02:23 AM

I recently visited another toy store at the local mall, and I couldn't find any LOTR action figs at all! I did find some interesting X-men action figs that were slashed from 9.99 to 3.99, but they didn't have any of my favorite X-men characters

**HorseTechie** · 02-18-2002, 08:54 AM

You know, to my surprise (and excitment) certain video game and music stores have action figures too now. I can't think of the name of the video gamer's store, but the music store was Sam Goody. That one carries a good variety of the anime/McFarlane/Bruce Lee/CD:HD/LotR figures now.

**azure turtle** · 02-18-2002, 05:00 PM

Wow, I haven't been to a Sam Goody's in a long time. I know that Suncoast carries anime DVDs/Vids and that they sometimes carry action figs, but I haven't been there in a while. I don't know if they carry LOTR figs.

*Skeletoncrew* · 02-18-2002, 06:08 PM

Maybe. Even Hot Topic (its sort of a goth/punk store if you've never seen one) has been selling LOTR action figures. Of course, their prices are ridiculous.

**azure turtle** · 02-18-2002, 06:10 PM

Heh. I kinda like Hot Topic, though I've never bought anything from there. I just like browsing through their merchandise. Oh, and I've always wanted to be a Balrog when I grew up! We have something new in common!

**HorseTechie** · 02-18-2002, 06:16 PM

Hrmph... in regards to Balrogs, never meddle in the affairs of Wizards, becuase... you know! ;P

**Kali** · 02-18-2002, 07:36 PM

I never saw any LOTR figures in our local Hot Topic. Of course I haven't been in there in awhile. Traumatic incident.

**azure turtle** · 02-18-2002, 08:18 PM

Hmm.....I won't ask.

Let's just say that the next time I want something pierced, I'm going to a professional.

**azure turtle** · 02-18-2002, 08:47 PM

Ouch!

**Kali** · 02-18-2002, 08:52 PM

Yeah, I ain't letting some sales girl who's never touched a piercing gun before anywhere near me again. Fortunatly she was shaking so bad that her supervisior took the gun away before she pierced me.
