Magnificent tho. It must be lovely to be able to hold something like that (I like working with my hands). Like truly having been in Middle Earth.
Plus the craftmanship. I always fret knowing one day - hopefully not soon - folks who worked on the Hobbit and LOTR will retire, and any chance of getting their work will gone. Unfortunately that is a fact that encourages me to spend more money.

It is a beautiful piece. The swords a bit huge though. It’s very much a 2 hander sword.

Here’s two older pics. My phone is giving me issues trying to put them at the bottom of the post.

Thank you for posting those - simply magnificent! Orcrist is my favorite of all the Middle Earth swords; yes, Thorin is my favorite character but it
would have been my favorite anyway, thanks to the graceful lines and exotic hilt, and the engraving - *wistful* (I would have wanted the pommel set with white sapphires, and fully polished blade).

I'd read the "true" version is quite large - IMO whatever it cost, this is a true heirloom, a sword that really looks forged from a magical place. I'd be one of your dinner guests that wanted to hold onto your collection and then you'd have to polish everything again.

When can we expect a new sword to go up? I don’t want to miss out on it and I know they’re extremely limited. And anybody knows what sword it may be?

Future MSSC releases have been based on votes cast by previous buyers. If you search this thread I believe you can find that Weta offered 5 options to vote on before the announcement of the sword of Eowyn. I have purchased 2 MSSC swords from Weta, but I have not heard anything about a new sword yet. Maybe they will do things differently this time. If I remember correctly, the FB announcement for Eowyn said the sword was the first in a line for woman. Maybe that meant Hadhafang is next.

That would be great. I’d love an Orc weapon though maybe like Grishnakh or some other. This would be my first. Let’s see what they come up with.

I dont think any orc weapon is ever going to end up in the MSSC line. The selection is probably limited to the steel swords that Peter Lyon made for the movies (human and elven swords). Not too many options left since most have been done, but I would guess one of these:

Hadhafang
Herugrim
Sword of Eomer
Sword of Isildur
Morgul Dagger
Narsil
Sting (small version, human scale?)
Aragorn’s elven dagger

Too bad. Of that list Hadhafang, Eomer’s and Narsil I would get 100 percent. The rest would depend on price increase vs ES

From that list I would probably order Narsil, and maybe Herugrim or the Sword of Isildur depending on price. These swords are already quite expensive and the USD is currently very strong, so if there are any significant price increases I am probably out.

[TMcLim]

Have they done the nazgul swords yet? That might happen then. A Narsil would sell out easy.

[Ithildin]

What about Denethor's sword?

Maybe for $9.99 I’m sure it would sell

I’m sure the next batch of swords are going to be at least $12,000 or so. They are certainly not going to be any cheaper

I know they did the Witchkings sword, that was very recent, but there are two other nazgul swords. Although because they aren't from named characters perhaps Weta will avoid them.

If anyone is looking for an Eowyn sword and scabbard please shoot me a PM.

Weta just finished up my aged Eowyn Sword/scabbard. They should be shipping it soon. I had asked for mine to be made last so I assume they’ve all been made now. If that’s the case, it’s very likely Peter will release a new MSSC piece later this year I’d assume.

Oh man, that is exciting! I hope you share photos of your sword and scabbard when they arrive!

I wonder if the Rings of Power tv series will show how Glamdring and Sting ended up in that troll’s cave. They would need the rights of course but seeing they already have the LOTR IP should be possible.

Also if anyone is selling a MSSC Anduril, pleaser let me know. Have been searching for this one for almost a decade.

There was information a couple years ago about Amazon also securing the rights to the LOTR films from WB basically as I understood it it was in case they wanted to use previous designs, props, costumes, etc.. but I don’t know if that’s 100% accurate. The one sword that we should see at some point would at least be Narsil. So I’m hoping that Amazon did secure them used them for this show and we get to see an old friend on screen again.

Anduril is a tough one to find. It’s the only MSSC piece I need to finish off the whole MSSC line. Can never find one for sale to finish off my set sadly.
