After much turmoil for yours truly, I finally had time to sit down, open, and to review this awesome piece.<\/p>\n<p>This is the limited version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wetanz.com\/us\/fountain-guard-of-gondor\/?affiliate=1834\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fountain Guard<\/a> statue. In this version you also get the White Tree of Gondor as we see it during much of <em>The Lord of the Rings Trilogy<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wetanz.com\/us\/fountain-guard-of-the-white-tree\/?affiliate=1834\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fountain Guard of the White Tree<\/a> is limited to 905 pieces and is sold out of course but if you&#8217;re willing you can snag this on the secondary market. It is, after having had time to stare at it, one of my new favourite pieces.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
