I have one of these to open it with  ;D ... but my bank balance won't do all 4... so which should it be? I need some SERIOUS help here guys! Whilst I drew the line at full sized swords I feel that these small letter opener sized replicas are AMAZING!

But which one should I get??

I like the idea of ripping into your letters with the Flame of the West... but I like Hadhafang as well. Beautiful.

Sting is quite cool also (I would go for this), as is Glamdring.

I bet that helped ;)

(Final opinion: Anduril - you have all the other Aragorn stuff already)

I bought STING, for mini popple, for Christmas. It looks realy neat.The detailing on it is very good.

I'm on the lookout for a mini Hadhafang. Apart from Theoden's, it's my fav sword. Can't find one at a price I like though  :-\ They're certainly NOT worth the retail price IMO

I also like Eowyn's sword... but as far as I know, UC has not made a replica, mini or full size. Its a surprise as it played a large role in the movie!

Anyone know anything different?

That's odd. I've heard reports much to the contrary, but I haven't actually seen one in the flesh so I'll reserve judgement until I have :)

Depends on the retail price doesn't it.  ;D

I bought a Narsil from the Collectorzone for (I think) £14.99. I was very happy at that price, but I wouldn't pay £30 that's being asked for Hadhafang on the bay at the moment.

: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: Roz December 02, 2004, 11:34:58 PM
Err I think that it's £40 at the moment  :-\ unless they've changed it during the day!


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: olly December 03, 2004, 12:12:11 AM
The ones from Collector Zone were returns and weren't guaranteed to be mint condition.  ::)

£15 is below wholesale cost in the Uk  ::)

That's why only Collectorzone can chose to sell for less.
They take advantage of their parents companies buying discounts  >:(


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: savage727 December 03, 2004, 02:28:42 AM
Well Roz:

I know you know which one I would choose!!  ;)  Anduril of course followed by Glamdring!   :)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: robwaddle December 03, 2004, 04:54:06 AM
My CZ Narsil was a return from QVC - had their stickers on it. Just goes to prove that they can't sell if prices too high  ::) ::)

HAHAHAHA!!
I very much doubt he will Rob, but there's no harm in asking is there? ::)

Lovely item though and I've been kicking myself for not getting any one of them when they were on special offer on CZ a few weeks ago ;)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: Roz December 04, 2004, 05:42:10 PM
Guys I know how much he paid for them and I can tell you that with ebay fees he's already on the edge of the price, so I think it's fairly safe to say there's nothing doing there ;)

CZ did have a good price but they were returns and I have heard reports that a fair number of them weren't in the greatest of condition - so maybe it was a narrow escape?



: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: Nienna December 05, 2004, 05:30:58 PM
Thanks for letting us know Roz! :-[

No harm in asking tho is there? LOL ;)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: Roz December 05, 2004, 05:46:47 PM
None at all ;)

Not a problem. I've been waiting this long, I can wait some more  :)

Cool news - thanks  :)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: savage727 December 16, 2004, 03:54:22 PM
Hey AndyfanLOTR or anyone:

Is that QVC program you are talking about in England or the USA?  If it is the USA I am definately interested!  :)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: AndyfanLOTR December 17, 2004, 01:10:00 AM
Sorry should have said it the UK Qvc, the web site as started listing what they will be selling but no pictures yet, the item discriptions don't help
Lord of the rings King Elendil Narsil Sword £29.38 Can't be the full sized one. ???


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: savage727 December 17, 2004, 04:57:30 PM
Thanks AndyfanLOTR!  You are correct - that price is not for the full sized sword but for the letter opener one.  


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: Roz December 17, 2004, 05:04:59 PM
I think (for me) Aragorn's is the one for me  ;D they are all really great though.


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: robwaddle December 18, 2004, 06:06:41 PM

Does anyone know about the LOTR's miniature sword sets?  I see you can purchase them individually or with a base.  My question is are the swords removable from the base or are they permanently affixed to it?

One of the links at the top of this page is to a Seller who sells LOTR's swords and he has not replied back to the same question so any help is appreciated.  Thanks. :)


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: robwaddle December 22, 2004, 07:40:31 PM
Which ones do you mean Savage? The Noble miniatures come in a presentation case with no stand.

There is a set with stands (can't remember who makes it). They are deffo detachable as they're marketed as letter openers.

LMK if u need more info.

Rob  :D


: Re:I don't want to open another letter again until....
: savage727 December 26, 2004, 05:41:06 PM
Hi Rob:

Thanks.  They are not the ones by The Noble Collection.  As a matter of fact I ordered the Anduril Sword Letter Opener from them the other day and it looks awsome in that presentation case.  I plan to display it next to my Sideshow King Elessar statue.    If it is as good as it looks in the picture I will get Gandalf's Glamdring as well.

I think the other mini swords I was asking about are from United Cutlery.  The base of these ones looks like a pile of stones into which the sword is placed point down into to.  I did not know if the sword was removable or not.
