Presents come to those who wait

[linaewen]

Last year for my birthday (which is in June!), my family and a few friends went together and gave me the funds to preorder the new Sideshow WETA 12-inch Boromir action figure they were offering.  I have slowed way down on my LotR purchases, but I didn't want to NOT take advantage of this opportunity, and it was nice to know I would be getting him as a gift, even though I knew it would be after my birthday when he would arrive.

Well, he never came and he never came, not even for Christmas.  I was beginning to think he'd not be here until my next birthday, lol!  But I waited patiently and my waiting has been rewarded at last.

I am happy to say that Boromir is currently on a UPS truck somewhere in the vicinity of Chicago, and he should be here tomorrow.  I think he will be glad to have finally arrived -- this journey from maker to my shelf has taken way more than a hundred and ten days!

I just hope he looks as decent in "real life" as he looks on the box.  ;-)

Yay, at last! What a lovely gift to look forward to.

Perhaps he is a sign that soon your Boromir will have returned to Gondor at last. That has certainly taken more than 110 days to write. ;)

He does look dapper on the box. I hope he arrives unharmed and in good order. How exciting to know he will soon be there!

:-D Indeed! I must see if I can help him along -- he can't really return in a timely fashion if I don't help him!

Not only do good things come to those who wait, but it looks like this good thing will come in a small package!
