All I hope is that all the old LotR models become available again so we don't have to pay eBay prices for them! I don't even mind not having anything new (although that would be nice) there's still plenty I didn't buy that I want.
They will have to, they'll be new of course, but they lack characters like Gothmog! So a resurgence will be needed.
The project manager position has been filled according to a reply to an angry email I sent. Remember, about 3-4 years ago, many of GW's old guard left to make warlord games, as did the perries.
I will say this, Lotr will ALWAYS be more expensive, or as expensive as 40K, as they pay not only for the rent of their dying stores, but for the license as well.
The hobbit range IMHO has hit the roof with pricing, it cannot go higher other than with inflation.
The Perries are the Perries, Alan and Mike (I don't remember which way he spells his name so I shall say Mike), could sell their minis at cost price and still make a profit, they are the best, and I fear for who shall continue to sell those ranges, once I am old and withered.
Warlord games sell at industry standard prices, while the perries sell bellow them!
That said, five of 'er Majesties pounds is as much as I will spend on single miniature, although weapon options do increase that.
This had better get better, or I will be looking to take them over.
That said, the dwarves made by the perries, might somehow belong TO the perries, especially if they were made after their last contract expired, or maybe unfinished, which would explain why those ridiculously awesome charitots haven't yet appeared.
Finally, some rumblings of a Re-masted LotR DVD have been heard, in the EE commentary. So GW might be holding off on that promise!
