Lord of the Rings Limited Edition
Stern, 2009I wonder how many LOTR still might need this? I am now the legitimate third owner of this design after purchasing it from Scott. I have taken the hand drawings and modeled it up and can now get it produced fairly easily. I haven't quoted it yet, but thought I would start gauging interest for a run.
Great to see these moving ahead Mike . Your 3-D drawings make my paper hand drawings look like cave art 
One thing to check . Just looking at your 3-D drawing , not sure if it was noted on my drawings or not but there possibly should be a small chamfer on the corner of the base piece ( other end to the large cut off corner ) . The timber cut out of the playfield has a slight radius so might need some clearance . Apologies if it's not on the original drawings .
Quoted from jokerpoker:I bought the plastic protectors set and put Arwen UNDER plastics protector instead of protector under. Worked well.
Yes bud & still looks minty fresh

Hey Scott. Thanks for the heads up. I'm printing a prototype this week to double check, so anything like this will get ironed out.
Anyone have the Arwen image so I can create an unbroken plastic that needs protecting first?
Will this interfere with Shire Cliffy, or does it go over alright?
Quoted from HighVoltage:Will this interfere with Shire Cliffy, or does it go over alright?
Should be alright. But I will add it to the double-check list.
Depending on the price, I am interested. I have a plastic protector in the divot already along with the shire protector. I hope this can stack with those. It will let me remove the upper plastic from Arwen that I have protecting the topside of it.
Quoted from centerflank:I cut a small lexan piece to shield the arwen plastic on my old LOTR, that worked pretty nice too
I did that too, with a piece of foam-rubber (the type normally used for standup targets) between the lexan and arwen plastic on the side.
Works perfectly.

Works and fits perfectly with the Cliffy Shire protector . I have both installed on my game . I also have the Shire decal as well .
Little Shop of Games had the Arwen plastics available .
A bit of tweaking to do, and changing plastics fabricator. First one turned out to be a bit slow. Got a better one now. Couple of weeks should have a few to go.
Quoted from Thrillhouse:Any update on this?
Will be next week. The update that is
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Interested. (That's 3 of us in the UK, thinking of combined postage?)
Just checking you got me included in the 3 there mate! 
Aye, yourself, Archytas and me (that's if it works out cheaper to send all to one uk address then redistribute - only 1 potential import hit etc.)
Only a suggestion for now!
Saying that, do we get hit for goods from Australia? I may be talking shite.

Yeah we get charged import fees, but it's the daft handling charge that makes up the biggest. Would be thinking its better to take 1 hit and redistribute.

I'm up for that, split the import fee 3 ways (or more if there are more people from the UK) and then yeah, send them on to each buyer.
I plan on keeping some stock. Thanks for indicating interest here. There will be plenty to go round.
I'm meeting with a new plastics guy today. Hopefully they have me a proto by early next week and production a week after that.
These are being run now. They will be A$40 = US$29 = EUR26 = GBP20. A sample needs to come back for final fit testing, then they will go up at the website. Probably late next week if the sample is ok.

Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Will this fit/work in conjunction with a cliffy in the same spot?
Given the tight fit of the Cliffy, and the clearances I have put in, it should be good to go. I will make sure on the test fitting of the first sample.
Quoted from Zora:Time Bandit - any news regarding the protector?
I have the test version in my machine. The fabricators actually messed it up a bit. I have tweaked the model and resent it to them. I am meeting them again on Wednesday to discuss the critical dimensions and show them where they can't mess up. They have all the material ready to go so I would imagine sometime next week I will have final product.
