Curious which figures in LOTR (not LE) actually came with weapons in their hands and which ones came with no weapons, but people added them later. Does anyone know what came from Stern on this machine?
When first made all had weapons. Then Stern started removing them because they'd come off and cause ball hang ups, etc.
LTG : )
Then the figures themselves changed overtime. Gandalf changed outfits and picked up shadowfax along the way. Just like in the movies..... Hmmmm..
I thought the Gandalf on horseback ( Shadowfax ) was released first and then they changed to Gandalf the Grey ( surfing Gandalf ) .
I picked up spares of all the figures and have since fitted them ALL with their weapons . It looks heaps better . "Surfing" Gandalf is no longer looking like he is surfing . He is holding his sword and staff in the pose from the movie when he fights the Balrog ( which is just in front of him on the pin ) .
I also glued the weapons in so no chance of them coming out .
Quoted from drshaw:Where did you get the weapons?
The weapons are in the packages with the figures. The only problem is that to buy all the figures it will cost well over $100.
I have spares of all the original figures new in boxes if anybody is interested (including Gandalf on Shadowfax).
I wish someone would make custom weapons for the figures. I know I would buy them all since most of my figures have none.

Send a pm, I'm interested in a weapon for surfing gandalf, and I think this looks pretty awesome:
