If anyone happens to be in Auckland (New Zealand) you might want to check out the hobby store Acorn Models at 381 Great North Road. They have a small assortment of Lord of the Rings sculptors made by Sideshow Weta in stock which have just gone on sale for half price. They're incredibly hard to buy in shops, as I think Weta now distribute only through their site (I think?), and the detail in them is amazing. Although I must say they didn't put as much effort into the hobbits as they could have. However the Orcs are incredible, as is Gandalf and Gimli. (I have Gimli here next to me and I swear he's looking at me. No no, I'm not delusional. And he still has a couple of brush bristles trapped in his beard.)

Here's a pic of the Gandalf the Grey bust which is in stock at Acorn Models (there's one left):

Just thought I'd let people know, just in case someone's in the area... (I hope it was okay for me to post this here!)
