I am thinking about getting together a master set of Trilogy.. well we are well on our way to getting one actually  But I begrudge buying FIGWIT! Now fortunately I didn't make up a ROTK Master set - so at least I am not buying him for a second time, but still ... FIGWIT??? |

I don't know, there is no one out there that feels this way
everyone want 2 of FIGWITs auto he is such a pivital charactor in the writings of Tolken. I can't belive you don't want to pay at least £100 for thsi auto
all joking aside this must be the most unwanted auto ever in the history of auto cards. He is in the films for about 6 seconds and gets 2 auto cards. Where as Wormtougue who i feel is am important charactor does not have an auto card at all. and many more for that matter.
So to sum up my RANT figwit out. I would have prefered a 4th Sam auto or even third orc on the left (the one scratching his head) auto

Wormtongue would've been a great choice ... just think of all the wonderful grovelling images there's been of him to use on a card ... *sighs* Topps missed out again on that one  Or how about Tom Bombadil for an auto card?  Or even Isildur?  The problem with that is the waiting Olly!  |

So? And Figwit? I have to say that Bombadil was far more entertaining a character than dear old Figwit will ever be! yes ... I know he wasn't in it .... I was just taking it to the extreme! |

I still think you ought to go for the master set Roz ~ perhaps trade to get Figwit rather than pay for it? They do look lovely cards and I can't wait to get my hands on the autos I've bought. |

Concentrate on getting the others in the set first (you've mad an excellent start on the set already) and by the time you've found and bought/traded those, the price should've settled a bit and some of the fuss died down and with any luck you'll be able to pick it fairly cheaply. Keep looking abroad too as I found some of the previous LOTR costumes at reaaaaaally silly prices prior to this set being released so don't despair! I haven't quite decided on what I'm prepared to pay for the Figwit auto when I come to get it and the same goes for the Proudfoot and Eomer autos too, so I do know how you feel. Besides, the cards have only just hit the UK market so you won't be able to get a clear picture of what the Figwit will sell for here. I've already noticed which cards are more popular than others so I would certainly say for you to sit back and wait. Perhaps not six months as Olly suggested, but I reckon a month or so ... unless you see one at a daft price and nab it first of course!  Hope that helps a bit.  |

Yes of course! We've slotted a lot of the hard to find ones into our collection so I shall be content for a while. Although I will have to ask you all to email cards inc to protest that we need a binder (please... I was joking... I'll get killed for saying that ) (Nienna... I can't wait for your lecture on how to mock Voldermort. I have never had the confidence before ) |

You got off to a flying start by getting the harder cards first which is always best. As for a binder, then count me in from the cheap seats and I'll heckle for a binder with you! I mocked Voldmort ~ ask me how!" ... I'll have to PM the link for you to read the story where that line comes from .... it's entitled 'Naked Quidditch' and you'll have a good laugh reading it. I won't post it here because of the chance of under-18's reading it ... sorry samwise |
