Love this piece but not loving these price hikes. I get that the ES is low but this still feels at least $100 over priced. If it's around in a few months during the BF sale I'll try and snag it.

I was going to wait but there's no way this lasts until next BF. At least not in the US as it's borderline Low Stock status as it sits.

The free Gundabad Orc Helm during the BF sale was enough to get me to bite. Arrived yesterday but I haven't had the time to open it yet.

The fact that it went on sale with an incentive is a tell.

Remember how low stock was on Eowyn? Now there are over 75 in stock?

I would risk it and wait until next year but that's just me.

You might be right. For me it wasn't worth the risk. I have no interest in the helmet so I can sell it and save another $50-$60 on the statue. If this goes Low Stock between now and this time next year I'd have pulled the trigger at full price so I rolled the dice on what I thought would be the best savings.

From the Hobbit orcs the one to watch is the Torturer. I think that one looks the most interesting and it goes well with another popular piece (Galadriel) in the context of the movie.

I rolled the dice myself on Uruk-Hai Swordsman. I am trying to keep the focus on LOTR. I can live without Boromir in my collection, but couldn't take the chance on the Uruk-Hai with Lurtz + MoS.

I'll bite on the Torturer if it hits Low Stock too. I don't see it lasting until next BF either. Definitely want that one.

Wise choice on the Swordsman. Paid full retail myself with no regrets. Amazing piece!
