Balrog, Serenity at Alter Ego Comics

Alter Ego Comics

January 31, 2006 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer Alter Ego Comics has several new items of interest to collectors:

FREE SHIPPING on NECA's Epic Scale Balrog!
After what seems like an eternity, NECA has finally officially solicited the Epic Scale Balrog from the Lord of the Rings. This is one gigantic action figure, 24" with a 3.5 wingspan, big and heavy, guaranteed to dwarf pretty much anything else on a display shelf, and guaranteed to keep even the most belligerent of your orcs in line. The Balrog makes it easy to envision the perpetual shadows, decaying pillars and crumbling walkways of Moria. He's a serious monster, a noxious mixture of fire and shadow, meant to take up some serious space.

For one week only, you can get free shipping on this sure to sell out piece at Alter Ego Comics. Orders placed within the continental United States by Friday, February 3rd, will have this monstrous figure shipped free.

Retailer Exclusive Luke Skywalker LE Lightsaber - A New Hope
Master Replicas has unveiled its latest Retailer Exclusive - The Luke Skywalker Lightsaber LE Replica from A New Hope, and we've got it for $290 shipped! That's over 20% off the retail price. Best of all, it ships within 2 weeks!

For Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Luke's lightsaber prop was created from an antique flashgun. Seven T-shaped grips were added to the lower circumference and a 1970's calculators display component topped off the "control box." A simple picture hanger and a D-ring riveted to the bottom allowed the weapon to be worn on a belt loop... So was born the iconic Skywalker lightsaber.

Utilizing an original flashgun, original sourced parts used on the actual filming prop and numerous high-resolution archival images supplied by Lucasfilm Ltd for reference MR was able to ensure the utmost accuracy demanded by our collectors.

As most most Master Replicas retailer exclusives, this item is expected to sell very quickly, so order your Retailer Exclusive Luke Skywalker Lightsaber LE Replica today!
