I'm pleased with the quality as well :) [In reply to] Can't Post

I have the Argonath bookends like so many and I've even got the full environment from Weta as well. Both are super awesome! Tons of fantastic detail. The Dwarven bookends are really nicely done overall. I love the marble type look they have and they're fairly heavy I think. I've been waiting for someone to do these and was pleased to get them with DOS TE. Noble does a solid job on their product this is just another example of that. Another solid edition to the collection. If folks want the full front end of Erebor they can get that from Weta, which has smaller versions as part of it.

I Agree [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm getting rather tired of having to buy US versions and then pay extortionate shipping and tax costs.

Seconded! [In reply to] Can't Post

I, too, look forward to being able to purchase a Collector's item in my own country! Unimpressed

Oddly... [In reply to] Can't Post

When the AUJ extended edition came out, by the time I'd added on postage there as well it was significantly cheaper to buy from the US instead of Germany... Same this time round with the theatrical edition. I did the maths very carefully, believe me Smile

The postage wasn't the problem for me... [In reply to] Can't Post

...(and although I ordered it from the States, Amazon.com shipped it from Germany anyway) - it was the import tax! Frown
