Hi all,

(If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it, I assumed it would be ok to post this thread here in the Britains section, but if not, then I apologize in advance!)

I was just wondering how rare the WB LOTR: Fellowship Of The Ring figures were? I've had some of them (Boromir, the Uruk-Hai, the Cave Troll and Gimli, only opened about once or twice, and they have never been on display) in my possession since the first film came out, and have been looking to sell them for a few years now. I've been trying to dig up some information and some prices on them over the years, but I haven't really had much luck. I've posted them up on eBay a few times over the years, to no avail, but I was wondering if there might be a resurgence in the popularity of them due to the new Hobbit film being released?

Any help/information would be much appreciated, as I myself am not a collector of figures, etc., so I would much rather sell them on to a collector who would appreciate them more than I do!

Thankyou,

Dan

There is a Sell thread Dan, which you can visit once you get some indication from forum members on this thread. Intrigued you joined the forum 2009 and this is your first post. Nice to hear from you, do you collect any toy soldiers? Cheers, Robin.

Hi Dan,
I can tell you they were not licensed to be sold in the US or Treefrog would definitely have been selling them back when they were available! We are big LotR's fans at our house! There were two other ranges like that at the time (Angelina Ballerina and one other I think) that were licensed in the UK but not in the US.
So if you were to offer them to a US audience you might find some eager collectors. I've no idea of a value for them, but with the Hobbit coming out 12-14 (midnight viewings tomorrow night) in the US this is probably an excellent time to test the market on eBay.
Good luck!
