Yeah. Our HT didn’t get many. I lucked and pulled Lurtz but still need the other two and Arwen...who still alludes me.

I would love a Lurtz but I think that ship sailed. I got the one I wanted most though, Witch King!

That’s awesome! The Witch King is so rad.

Consider yourself lucky, good pull.

My ht got 1 case initially and 1 restock. Both we’re Galadriel cases

I’m still hoping for a restock.

I assume they would restock. It’s not like it’s tied to a recent movie and it’s not like there’s many more characters to support a second wave.

Anybody hoping for a series 2 of sorts with only Hobbit Characters? I really want a Smaug mini lol

I would love to see a Smaug mini! Really hope they do a second series of more LOTR specific characters too.

My local FYE keeps re-stocking them a case at a time, but they're the only ones I've seen around here who keep getting in new cases. My BNs did multiple re-stocks but now they seem to have stopped.

Restocks are not as common as I would have hoped. I messed up and should have purchased more during their initial wave

Postby **jeffcrazy** » Thu May 10, 2018 12:21 am

so many hobbits... so... many... hobbits...

Funny, I got Merry but no Pippen... but like 6 Frodos and Sams - but I've given up for now, I figured since I own case of the common hobbits it's time to stop buying these.

As far as restocks, I live by a B&N but like *NOBODY* ever buys the minis there. It doesn't help that they're not centrally located - I can't really explain how the store has them because I don't understand most of it lol

I mean there's a few together with the pops, but then you find the kid-centric minis over by legos (like Dr Suess, etc), then on shelves by like super nerd books (role playing things? I don't even know - there's some star wars series with game pieces but and stuff like tht) where I've found LOTR minis and then random Marvel ones there. Star Wars and Harry Potter have their own devoted spaces. But nobody ever buys them.

I’m more than happy to trade you a Pippin for a Merry

I seem to have an abundance of the dang Hobbits lol

So i bought my first lot of these today. My first mystery minis ever. Didnt land anything spectacular. Best i got was Galadriel which im really chuffed with as its a really nice figure. Got a frodo, boromir, gandalf, 2 sam and Saruman. Quite happy with the extra Saruman as im sure he will be easy trade here in the UK.

Got a quick question about buying multiple boxes of 12s. Ive got a couple of friends who are intetested in buying quite a few in bulk with me. If you purchase 6 sets of 12 will you be guaranteed to get at least one of each mini?

How are these normally shipped do you get like 6 sets of 12 boxes in a case?

Thanks in advance

So, if you are able to secure a master case, that is 6 cases of 12 boxes each. If you can guarantee it is a master case and not just 6 random cases bundled together, then you can be guaranteed at least one of each (only one of each 1/72, but multiples of the others).

Hey all. Can you post how you're displaying your LotR MMs?

My wife and I are trying to figure out how to get them off a shelf & we bought the shot glass display from Michael's, but the openings are too small for Gandalf, Witch-King, Gimli & the Nazgul really didn't fit at all. They'd have to be turned too much at an angle and it just looks bad.

We're looking for something similar to display them on a wall like that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I like these stepped containers for displaying minis.

Anybody still finding these anywhere? It seems all the stores in my area have sold out. :/

The target near me keeps stocking them. Only thing they ever seem to have lol

Saw a fresh box at Barnes and noble a couple weeks ago too. So they’re still out there.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Fri Jul 06, 2018 8:06 pm

My target has 3 cases of them

Nice! Thanks! Need a couple more nazgul haha

I have seen fresh untouched cases at Wal-Mart's but that doesn't help those that need HT

Postby **TheWordWizard** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 9:51 am

Ah, I rarely go to Target or Wal Mart, so that could be why I haven't seen them anymore! Thanks!

Yeah HT has prolly.moved on from these

Postby **keyese** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 4:43 pm

Still hoping once and awhile that it will be like Stranger Things and just randomly get restocked months later.

Postby **synergy56** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 4:57 pm

yeah I think HT is totally done with these. Randomly saw some cases in Targets, but they always have at least 2 missing so I don't want to take any chances.

Postby **hailmary25** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 1:16 pm

It stung to pay Ebay prices at the time for the HT exclusives but hindsight being 20/20 it worked with the value shooting up.

Haven't looked recently, how bad at the prices on the HT ones now?

Lurtz and Ewoyn was high $100 to low $200 last I checked, with the Witch king in the low $100(Found him in the wild had to pay for Lurtz and Ewoyn)
