I too would like to get on board with a place that sells some of these for a decent price and not the outlandish prices they want on ebay.

I would love to get my hands on the High Elven Warrior Display Sword.
I have the knock-off but it just isn't what it should be!

I worked for the original UC. They got sold off to BudK to salvage whatt was left from Bankruptcy. BudK re-negotiated the LOTR license from new line. They bought and had the chinese start back up where it was left off at the end of UC. They are working on a few new LOTR items that were pretty much completed at the old UC just never finished tooling etc. I do not know which
products will be out, but what was close to completion was: Sam's hobbit sword, Sauron's sword, Isildur's sword, Eomer's sword, Haldir's sword, Arwens knife, Sauron's Mace (not factory wanted to touch that one), Gimili's bearded axe, Eomer's Helm, Morgul dagger.
Kit the PD director (and the man responsible for UC making anything worth crap) is a freelance contractor for the BudK UC so the product will be as good as it ever was, because BudK sells a lot of knock off and China crap and would probably ruin the LOTR line without some outside help.

It would be so great if they´d release Haldir´s sword. I never even noticed it until I saw the original at the LOTR Exhibition and I couldn´t stop coming back to that display to admire it. Thanks for giving us some insights of what UC originaly was working on, since I never knew that this one actually was on their list. I really hope it will be available some day...

Very cool, if I'd known they were considering the Morgul Dagger, I wouldn't have sold the Wraith Costume and WK Sword......LOL. Just figures.

which is hilarious considering how expesnive they were going for on Fleabay not too long ago
No return of the Musuem Collection. Yes you are right the Anduril was next in line, then a shards of narsil was to finish out the line. I wish they had done that line soonr, I think the sales would have been much higher, they had a hard time moving those and I don't think they made but around half of the Glamdrings from the edition size.
yeh and the half of glamdrings that they DID make had terrible heat treat.
I have spoken to Kit Rae about these personally and he said that the steel used in the Museum glamdrings was just fine, but the the Company doing the heat treat didnt know how to handle that kinda steel apparently and most of the blades were warped. I guess mine is one of the FEW that wasnt warped, but id never consider it anything other than a fancy wallhanger.
well Im kinda glad they arnt restarting the Museum line that means my musashi glamdring and sting will be worth more!
