The Centurion is eight feet tall? Shipping will kill you, if he doesn't first.
Poor descriptions, it's ", not '.

IMHO, after the lackluster job on the Lego version of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, I'm a bit wary about a LotR one. Lego STAR WARS - Original Trilogy for both PS2 and PSP spoiled me.
****** I agree with you Bill, the LEGO Star Wars games are great. Pirates and Harry Potter 2 were underwhelming.

Just received my Master Replica's Hulk #1 statue I picked up on eBay. Good gravy! This thing is huge! I didn't realize how big it really was. Looks great.
I also picked up the Jean Grey Phoenix rising statue up at my Comic shop on sale, along with the Batman black & white anime style. I normally wouldn't have picked up the anime style statue, but it was about half off and actually didn't look too bad in person. The Jean Grey also was half off, so what the heck.
You know, I stopped buying most of my comics because I wasn't enjoying them anymore and thought I'd save some money. It hasn't been working out like that tho, I instead have been buying Eaglemoss figurines and statues. I think my money saving has been a wash!

I ended up displaying mine without the Banner figure. Not really "accurate" as a cover recreation, but then, technically, neither is that Hulk figure! +++ You know, I stopped buying most of my comics because I wasn't enjoying them anymore and thought I'd save some money.

Fun stuff!

I knew what it looked like, but I was BLOWN away by the size of it! I think I might go the Banner less way myself in the future when I have some more statues, but I'm enjoying this display right now. Really pleased with this purchase.

I feel the same way myself. I've picked up most of the figures. I do enjoy picking them up. My one complaint would be odd costume choices or, for me, obscure characters.
The nice thing for me about being in the middle of a successful career is that I now have some extra bucks for fun stuff like these statues and commissions. It brings back some of the fun of my comic buying youth.

Ryan - where's it say the Cylon is 8 feet tall? I just looked and it says 8'' which is 8 inches.
