Always great to see your awesome collection Ben! I know you are looking for a new house with a bigger room, but maybe also consider some unfinished space to build something unique to display this in. Themed areas, cutouts in the walls, integrated lighting. Look forward to seeing the future updates as always!
hi great collection thank you for letting me & others see it, i would love to start collecting but prices are way above my pay limit lol could you mayby recommend a site to buy from to get me start please, regards john
The pieces are wonderful, an I would love to see them organized by scale. Different scale side by side dispel the magic all the time. Did you ever played War of the Ring the boardgame ?
Thank you! I have a bunch of them on preorder and am excited to see what else they come with. I am most excited about the Queen Studios Balrog Wall mount.
Benjamin, That has blown my mind seeing this video. What a amazing collection and everything I love, you put your heart and soul into that collection. ( like me you must have a very supportive wife lol). Love LOTR and so enjoyed watching your collection, so thank you for sharing!!!!!
Thanks for your kind comment, Todd!! I saw one of your videos and your collection is amazing! You are right, we do have some supportive wives. Happy collecting!!
Magnificent collection Benjamin. Your custom Barad-Dûr piece looks amazing! Do you plan on picking up any of the new Weta Workshop pieces? Such as Lurtz and the Witch-King (from the Figures of Fandom line) and/or the Prime 1 Studio Sauron? I hope the collection keeps growing and you and yours have a prosperous 2022
Thank you for your comment. I do have the Gandalf and Witch-King Figures of Fandom ordered. I also currently have Prime 1 Sauron but have not unboxed him yet. I need to do some reconfiguring before he can come out. I hope to keep it growing too. Wishing you a wonderful 2022 as well!
Always makes my day when I see a new update video of your collection, Ben. I feel your pain with all of the new high-quality pieces that are coming from Prime 1, Infinity, Darkside and Queen Studios. But what an amazing time to be a collector of LOTR polystone. Good luck on your house hunt my friend.
Thank you!! The Goblin King was made by Dwarf Brothers Studio. You can find Rogerio on Facebook under his studio or on The Lord of the Rings collectors page.
I would love to see this in person OMG. It's like "80's" Disney World, but Tolkien's Lord of the Rings! Which, Imo is way better anyway. I love my lotr Coffee cup..., and Books of course. ;p
I am currently hunting for a bigger space to display the collection. My current room is pretty full. I have many new pieces that have come in that are still boxed up because of the current space issue. Thanks for checking it out. I plan on making some more videos soon.
Hello, I have two sets of gargoyle bookends, they are both custom pieces. The one was made in a small run by an artist named Kyle and the other bigger set was an even smaller run made by Staley Customs. The Goblin King is also a custom piece made by Rogerio. You can find information on these pieces and other custom pieces on Facebook at The Lord of the Rings Collectors or USA Lord of the Rings Collectors Community also www.flameofudun.net/ is a forum with lots of information.
Looks fantastic. I wish I had your space ! lol :D I've asked Weta to make sound boxes, so you can press a button to hear a famous quote - "..you're Late ! .. a Wizard is never .. etc" but they haven't responded.
Thanks Uli!! I hope that I can find a property with the proper size space I desire. It will be alot of work moving this collection but I look forward to seeing what the next space will have to offer.
Hey Ben, beautiful collection & I too am a collector & have built up a lot of statues I want to display & I recently moved into our new home in Northern Michigan & id like to display my statues so my question is where can I find the display cabinets like you have? I’m looking at Moducase for statues like Treebeard but I do enjoy the long display cases so I can recreate some scenes I have in mind. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you & happy holidays!
Hello, Thanks you for your comment. I bought all of antique display cases off of Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Offerup, and similar sale pages. I am always looking and sometimes you can find really good deals on antique cases. I love the feel they give the collection too. Good luck on your search and I hope you will post a video of your display when setup.
@@BenjaminSchenk thanks for helping & I’ll check those suggestions out & yes of course I’ll post a video once I get at least some of it up lol. Right now I have an entire bedroom filled with statue boxes just screaming to be displayed. I’ll be sure to tag you when I finally get things up & running. 🤞🙏
Well... I've watched your videos so many times I just recognized that Nerdrotic used a few seconds of one of your videos on his latest video. No doubts they wanted good high quality merchandise footage... which is no doubt you. Congrats. :)
Hi Benjamin first off awesome collection truly jealous I saw your last video and I now how the 3 Elven rings of power from Badali on order! One question I have is where you got those art pieces on your walls they are breath taking?
Thank you and I am glad to hear you ordered the rings from Badali. They are amazing. The art is from the Hildebrandt Brothers. Thanks for watching the video and for your comment.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick am definitely new to the lord of the rings collectables but am hungry for more if it’s not to much trouble are their any places you recommend for figures and prop replicas thanks again
@@tdog3862 I recommend www.wetanz.com/, www.budk.com/Search.aspx?search=lord%20of%20the%20rings , Ebay, Craigslist, and join the Lord of the Rings collector groups on Facebook. Good luck with your searches and happy collecting!!
Thanks Ryan, I hope to have the room ready to go for a January filming. I love the stuff you are putting out and look forward to seeing what you do next.
Thanks. Here is a link to where I got the rings. They are made by Badali Jewelry. badalijewelry.com/products/dwarven-ring-of-power?_pos=1&_sid=1e2a20314&_ss=r
Honestly can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos!!!.. I have like maybe 1% of your collection. What this does is allow me to look at the sizes etc on my next potential purchase. I really look forward to any new videos you put out. Your collection is absolutely outstanding!! :) Thank you. Actually I do have a question.. this may be a hard one for you >:) What do you consider to be your absolute "Grail" piece?. As I watch the video there are so many potentials. But there must be one right?... LOL, truly I don't know if I could choose.
Thank you for your comment. My favorite piece is Weta's lifesize Gandalf. It is in my living room as it won't fit down the stairs to my basement. My favorite 1/6 piece is Weta's Azog on Warg. I hope to get a new video together soon.
@@BenjaminSchenk Awesome Benjamin, I look forward to it. Hey, I was wondering if you have pre-ordered the Bag end on the hill Weta statue... I saw another youtube video where a guy set out his entire Hobbit hole collection on that ~grass matting you can buy draped over a few levels with Bag End on the hill. It was an excellent way to display the pieces as they all blend together on the grass. Anyway, thank you again.
Amazing collection!!! Have you thought about selling smaller pieces in order to make space for larger pieces like prime 1? Space is always at a premium. 😂 Can’t wait for the next room update.
I found it on Ebay by searching Lotr rug. They seem to always being changing but maybe you could send one of the makers a screen shot of the rug and see if they can make it.
each time i see your collection, it just makes me so freaking happy! The absolute DREAM of a collector's room!
Thank you!! I am excited to read this and glad you enjoy the videos.
So good to know there are people out there who still live this films as much as I do..
Fantastic collection 😍👌
Thank you for checking the video out and for your comment.

Thanks Andrew!! Those are all wonderful ideas. I will definitely keep them in mind on the search. Thanks for your comment and input, I appreciate it.

Now that is a collection, sheesh, 🙌🙌🙌👍
Thanks for checking it out and for your comment.
Great to see some of the new additions Ben! Always a joy to walk through your collection.
Thanks Tyler!! So, many things in boxes now but hopefully in the not to distance future they all will be displayed together.
@@BenjaminSchenk yes I hope you and your wife are able to find a place worthy of your collection with plenty of space to grow.
You should have spent tens of thousands. Very amazing.
Thank you for checking it out and for your comment!!
Whoa! Wow! Would love to visit there. Lots of amazing and cool stuff. 💙💛👍💪
The pieces are wonderful, an I would love to see them organized by scale. Different scale side by side dispel the magic all the time. Did you ever played War of the Ring the boardgame ?

Thank you! I have a bunch of them on preorder and am excited to see what else they come with. I am most excited about the Queen Studios Balrog Wall mount.
Nice personal museum. Do you have the 18k gold one ring from Weta?
Thank you. I do not have the 18k Weta one ring.

I can't wait for my collection to reach this status. Truly a work of art. Thank you for your hard work. Who makes that big goblin king piece?
Only question of money . not talent
Thank you!! The Goblin King was made by Dwarf Brothers Studio. You can find Rogerio on Facebook under his studio or on The Lord of the Rings collectors page.
Where do you recommend getting those nice wide display cases? I'm rapidly running out of room!
I would love to see this in person OMG.
It's like "80's" Disney World, but Tolkien's Lord of the Rings! Which, Imo is way better anyway.
I love my lotr Coffee cup..., and Books of course. ;p
Thanks for the comment. I would love to give you a tour if you ever make it to Cleveland, Ohio.
Will you be replacing the argonath env with the new weta one? Great collection btw!
I did order the new one. I have not decided what to do with the original just yet. Thank you!!
wonderful collection, are you hunting any pieces at the moment ?. keep the videos coming :)
I am currently hunting for a bigger space to display the collection. My current room is pretty full. I have many new pieces that have come in that are still boxed up because of the current space issue. Thanks for checking it out. I plan on making some more videos soon.

Take down the posters and add cabinets/open shelving that go to the ceiling.
That is always an option but I like the art and swords there. I like the mixture of all the different pieces together.
Have a happy 2022 Benjamin! I was looking forward to you showing Legolas and Gimli when they joined the other 3 Amon Hen figures!
Thank you, I wish you the same. I hope to do a few unboxing videos in the future.
I have a signed battle action gimli from the felloship line of you want to buy it
Feel free to reach out with pictures and price to benschenk81981@gmail.com

Thanks!! I like that idea!!
2 words my fellow man.... FUCKING AWESOME
Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing. That's some pretty strong glass to take all those 1/4s on top.
Thank you! Some of the glass is very thick. I have tried to display the heavier pieces on some wood supports.
@@BenjaminSchenk I underestimated how much thick glass can hold. I'm just in so much awe with how awesome you collection is. I love the setup!
8:09 Are those rings from Wata?
They are made by Badali Jewelry.
Yeeeeh
Ben, you're gonna need a bigger boat. :D
Definitely!! 😆
Always great to watch update Videos of your growing collection.I`m curious how you will present it once beeing in a new house.
Thanks Uli!! I hope that I can find a property with the proper size space I desire. It will be alot of work moving this collection but I look forward to seeing what the next space will have to offer.

Hi Benjamin, I sent you an email ;)
Hello, I just sent you a Facebook message.
What sizes are your rings ?
They are sized 10.5.
Thanks for the tour. Are you planning on getting the new Weta Smaug with the open wings and their dead marshes master collection piece?
Well... I've watched your videos so many times I just recognized that Nerdrotic used a few seconds of one of your videos on his latest video.
No doubts they wanted good high quality merchandise footage... which is no doubt you.
Congrats. :)
Amazing collection!! Some grails in there! 😊
Expend in the next room !! :)
There is no other room in the basement. The only option is a new and larger space.
Hey are you gonna get Sauron LifeSize bust and balrog LifeSize head
me too.
Awesome collection man. If I may ask, whats your opinion of the new Rings Of Powers series?
Hey, I had a few questions about a statue I just ordered. Do you own the sideshow war in the north troll?
Hello. I do not own that piece. What are the questions?
The piece is usually numbered out of 500 but on the bottom of mine it says WB samples
Where did you get the rings? I couldn’t catch the name. The 19 lesser and one ring! Thanks!
I got them from Badali Jewelry. badalijewelry.com/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage&q=Lord%20of%20the%20Rings%20*

Thank you, my friend!! I feel the same way about yours.
Hey ! I can buy Moria Orc from prime1 that you have, it's in 7:50 for 300$, you think it's good price ?
That is the Sideshow Moria Orc Premium Format and $300 is a very reasonable price.
@@BenjaminSchenk yes sideshow
Really looking forward to your next 2023 update video Ben!
