Some small updates from Sideshow/Weta Collectibles today. First, you can now pre-order ‘The Dilemmas of Smeagol‘ medallion, the first Gollum related piece from Sideshow/Weta to date. Secondly, if you didn’t know, Sideshow/Weta has a European Union warehouse to accommodate EU customers who don’t want to pay the HUGE shipping costs from the US. They just added a bunch of new LOTR related product to that warehouse, including Two Towers Figures and Busts, as well as the ‘Escape’ plaque, ‘No Admittance’ bookends, and weapon sets.
