The 2022 Flamies Awards Ceremony

[Stig]

Let the fanfares sound!

We've already managed to come well into the third month of 2023, but as a certain other award show, this is the perfect weekend to look retroactively back on the year which is past us.

In 2022 both we as human beings and collectible companies could start to recover from the pandemic. (Let's skip the whole discussion if it's over or not). This meant an onslaught of collectibles being released over the year. Since we started voting for "Weta Collectible of the Year", we've never had a higher number of collectibles on the roster than we had for 2022. Add that to all the released products from Prime 1, IronStudios, Asmus and more. And by the announcements we've seen from newcomers like PureArts and Darkside Collectibles - this flood of new stuff does not seem to stop anytime soon. Has there ever been more to choose from for us Middle-earth collectors as it is right now? And then we have those among us that collect Tolkien stuff IN ADDITION to various other licenses. It takes some effort to not be overwhelmed.

Over the next 48 hours we will celebrate the year that was - both regarding the Flame of Udûn message board and Weta collectibles released. For the last two weeks, all you members have had the chance to vote for your favourites and soon the winners will be announced. The winners will receive, in addition to honor and quite the ego boost, a tiny Flamie trophy under their name and avatar.

The moderator team of Valar, Minuialwen, and myself will be the hosts this year, with guest appearances by two really great and influential guys!

We'd love for as many as possible of you members to join in on the festivities. A vibrant and active community is beneficial for us all, but only you can make that happen. Let's make this Flamies Award Ceremony a postathon!

Salút!

We could always call for a Fellbeast to pick you up. There's a possibility you will not be eaten.

Fellbeasts? Bah, I eat their eggs for breakfast.

[Celaglar]

Woopwoop! I'm hoping for a good night's sleep, but if not at least I have something to read when I'm cuddling with the baby

Sorry Stig, I tried but it seems the Fellbeast is picking up someone in a much colder climate.





I believe that is jackd1210 on his back. Doesn't look like he has changed yet though.

[Glorfindel]

Totally bonkers - BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[TMcLim]

The admins are looking very sharp in blue this year! Since the fellbeasts are busy I’d settle for Bill the pony haha

[Elwë Singollo]

Big thanks to all the admins/mods! Looking forward to my first Flamies, despite being absent lately. Party time!

[Arwen0605]

Holy crap !! Just as I wrote, that the Admins look like they could actually walk on the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards in Hollywood, all the lights went out! Our whole city was filled with darkness. Sitting here on my computer, not been able to see anything was quite an unusal experience to me. Now I know how we are all depend on electricity. Fortunately my hubby had is buddies over for a movie night at our cinema room. At least I wasn't alone.
Besides that, I'm really looking forward to the Flamies Awards and I hope, that some of the members I gave my vote will win.

Who needs sleep when you can cuddle a baby and enjoy the beginning of the Flamies? Enjoy your cuddle times, it may not seem like it now but they disappear waaaay to fast.

Totally bonkers - BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Isn't that what this forum is all about?

Why thank you, blue always did look rather good on me.

Sorry, Fellbeasts got hungry there are no ponies left, not even Bill.

I hope your expectations are not too high Elwë Singollo, would hate to disappoint. Yes lets PARTY!

Dang, I told that Fellbeast to glide while going over big cities. My most humblest apologies Arwen0605.

Guess we had better quit using the Fellbeasts to deliver our guests for tonight.


(I hope the lights in your city will turn on again soon Arwen0605, and that it was nothing 'major' that caused it. )

[TMcLim]

Oh no! Poor Bill! The flamies are no place for a pony, even one so brave as Bill.

[Minuialwen]

Sorry Stig, I tried but it seems the Fellbeast is picking up someone in a much colder climate.

Opps I guess I was wrong.

Wow jackd1210 , you look tonight!!

Yep, you're probably right. The Fellbeast caused all this trouble. Don't use the Fellbeast anymore, better use Gwaihir.

Oh it’s happening!

[Arwen0605]

Oh it’s happening!

Yes my friend! It is really happening. Sooner or later we will find out who is the lucky winner this year....... Oh, I'm so excited!

[Ithildin]

Lucky winners!

[Stig]

Lucky winners!

Very true. The voting hasn't closed yet, but I have peeked at the ones we got so far and I can disclose at least one thing: There's more than one winner.

[Mirrorinthemirror]

Yes my friend! It is really happening. Sooner or later we will find out who is the lucky winner this year....... Oh, I'm so excited!

So am I! Along with the Oscars, this week is and will be very exciting!
