Here's another one of my collections - The 1979 Lord of the Rings figures that were made by Knickerbocker . It's a small set but they are tough to come by complete and in good condition - the entire line was only 6 figures and 2 horses .

I only have 4 figures and its taken me over 2 years to get them for a cheap enough price that I could afford to buy them . My Ringwraith is complete but I am missing swords for both Frodo and Sam . Gollum didn't come with accessories so he is by far the easiest and cheapest to get in the line .

the horses are by far the hardest pieces to get in the line - a complete Ringwraith Charger usually sells in the $300 to $600 range affraid 

here is a pic of what the packages look like ...

James, I went into sticker shock this morning at the Ontario Collectors Con. I saw a couple of complete Frodo and Sam with their swords, but I didn't have enough cash on me to pick them up for you. affraid

very cool man - how much were they asking ?

If a person could get a complete Sam or Frodo for under a $100 each it is a bargain - their swords are extremely hard to find Mad

Hell I would pay $50 for a sword and I am a cheap ass bastard lol!

They had more than a couple.  They were asking $125 for each of the incompete ones without the swords, and I think it was around $325 for the complete Frodo and Sam with their swords as a pair.
