pitty my country Greece doesnt allow swords :thumbsdow

Seeing your collection m8 reminted me of what happened when i ordered a sword via mail....

I had a phone from police :sly2: lol telling me to go to the costums office because i had tryed to import weapon into my countrly LOLOL

I went there and they told me that IF i wanted the sword i would need a special permit for weapon YES weapon !!!
To do so i needed to go to the police and ask an officer to come to customs take the sword, escort me back to the police in order a .... specialist to check the weapon and verify it is indeed collectible :S
then i was advised not to bother because none gets authorisation lol

soooo i had to return the "weapon " back....

it is sooo stupid but what can i do? i stick to my statues collection

Gratz for your pieces keep up the good work

[geto10]

pitty my country Greece doesnt allow swords :thumbsdow

Seeing your collection m8 reminted me of what happened when i ordered a sword via mail....

I had a phone from police :sly2: lol telling me to go to the costums office because i had tryed to import weapon into my countrly LOLOL

I went there and they told me that IF i wanted the sword i would need a special permit for weapon YES weapon !!!
To do so i needed to go to the police and ask an officer to come to customs take the sword, escort me back to the police in order a .... specialist to check the weapon and verify it is indeed collectible :S
then i was advised not to bother because none gets authorisation lol

soooo i had to return the "weapon " back....

it is sooo stupid but what can i do? i stick to my statues collection

Gratz for your pieces keep up the good work

Thanks for the appreciation! :)

Corrupted rules, that sucks man!! :(

Sorry to hear about that blue.:bawling: I agree with geto10, those are stupid rules, these are collectibles, it's written in the packaging...

R-E-P-L-I-C-A. :D

And it's not sharp. I'm sure those guys have watched the film or atleast heard about it...

Can they not see the difference from a real weapon? sigh...

Anyway just keep the spirit of LOTR alive man, that's what matters and not the collection. :)

oh, that looks great together.. too bad the Legolas likeness wasnt better. I wish neca did more of the LOTR characters... would have dearly liked to see more 20" representations of them... or in Gimli's case...clearly shorter than 20". lol.! i would get them in a heartbeat!

I totally agree! The resemblance of Orlando Bloom on this Legolas is bad, however the details on the weapons and costume are great. Yeah Gimli would be nice to have, just imagine all the weapons they could include. :rolleyes2
