My Lord of the Rings & Hobbit Museum / Collection.

This is my Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit collection/museum. It is full of Hilderbrandt Brother art, TOYBIZ, Sideshow/Weta, Weta, Sideshow, United Cutlery, Neca, Halimaw, and many custom pieces. I hope you enjoy the tour!!!

The most amazing and well put together collection. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to name the statues and the Artwork helps alot when researching items. My favorite display is the top shelf with all the environments. Cant wait to see what another 5 more years brings, keep the videos coming.

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Thank you for your very kind comment! I really enjoy the environments shelf too. It was fun making this video and I hope to make more as the collection advances.

Your collection is top notch but the way they are displayed and your lighting, beyond compare.

Lord of the rings represents the greatness of western civilization, it is the reason we must protect it. Lord of the rings, is literally the most emotional story I ever seen. Something about it just makes me know what's right and what's worth dying for. Great collection brother

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Thanks for your comment and checking out the collection. I agree with your take on Lord of the Rings too.

[@erikalulea3608]

Respect for your love for the Lord of The Rings, but seriously, " great western civilisation" we have murdered, taken land, oppressed and so forward, you know right , so we have a lot of dark history that we should NOT be proud of.

[@roboman2445]

Erika Luleå your nuts, we have invented every major technological innovation, from cars to airplanes to space trace to cures for disease to antibiotics etc. the west single handedly more then doubled ALL humans lifespans, and made the world have a much more peaceful lifestyle, without the west, countries would still be killing each other with wars instead of the relative peace and modern life of working and living. I'm sorry but you don't judge a civilization that has done more for the world then then anyone else by their dark spots, all people have good and bad, instead you judge for the progress they have made for society. The west has built everything we love about the world, from internet to phones to cars to airplanes to space travel to refrigerators to medicine etc. the west has built modern civilization, so I'm not going to judge it by its past, not one society on earth has a clean record. Other societies have just as much dark history as the west, but you don't bash people for dying how much they love them do you. I feel no guilt for actions I did not do myself, if you seriously live your life feeling bad for actions you didn't do, then your a moron. No civilization has done even half as much good for society and no civilization has made as much progress for all humanity, period. To say anything counter to that is a blatant lie,period. Western society built modern society hands down. Every society in earth has wars, brutality, slavery, etc in their past. Every single one, so your hatred for the west should be directed toward humanity as a whole, every civilization on earth has done the same things, conquer, pillage, slavery, destroy, steal, etc. the difference is, the west has created more innovation then all others and has literally created everything we use in modern life. Your a complete tool.

[@roboman2445]

Erika Luleå your a complete fool for feeling bad for crimes you personally did not commit, get over it, every society and civilization on earth had a past of slavery, war, brutality, etc, every single one on earth. The difference is, of all civilizations with such dark histories, the western one has given back more to humanity then any others. Cars. Tv, electricity, computers, airplanes, air conditioning, space travel, satélites, modern medicine, light bulbs, nuclear power, trains, etc. western civilI built the modern world, whether or not you like it. Every civilization has had its past of evils, but we are the one that built the modern world, so you know what that makes its the best. Anyone who hates people for something their ancestors did wrong is a fool.

My LOTR collection has no statues, but my favourite piece is a set of first edition books I bought last year. Not first impressions of the first edition, slightly later ones, but I love reading those books in their original format, with copies of the first published maps.

Probably the GREATEST franchise unspoiled with politics etc etc.. Its wonderful. The music the artwork, the whole thing. What an amazing collection.. I have around 20 Weta polystone figures that I have not seen for YEARS... can't wait to get my hands back on them when they arrive in my new country. Benjamin, You have an AWESOME collection already.... but; If you have not seen or heard of the EAGLEMOSS LOTR collection I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out. I actually prefer a LOT of them over the Weta polystone models (both in paint and sculpt)...despite them only being >>2-3 inches

[@glen3898]

Ohh I forgot to mention... (if you can get new ones)... they come with REALLY nice magazines, all about each character. IMHO the best way to collect LOTR as they can ALL be displayed in a waaaaay smaller space... and NO_WHERE near as expensive as WETA models.

[@BenjaminSchenk]

I have heard of the Eaglemoss pieces before and seen them on Ebay. I enjoyed the linked video of them. They are an amazing set. Thanks for sharing. The cave troll is 1/4 scale and made by a company called Halimaw.

excellent collection, you have a lot of holy grails, I collect the toy biz figures and you have really interesting pieces.

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Thank you. I am a huge fan of the LOTR Toybiz line. I believe it to be the best action figure line ever produced. I collected the whole line and it took up a huge amount of space so I ended up parting with the majority of it. I still have a bunch of my favorite pieces but don't have room to display many in the collection.

As a follow collector I highly recommend getting the high elven warrior shield. A beautiful piece and you have room for it. Gorgeous pieces!

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Thank you! The poster I have with all the signatures was acquired from another collector. You can get stuff signed at Comic Cons as alot of the actors still attend them. You can always check Ebay and other collector sites for signed pieces. I would always check for a Certificate of Authenticity if you are buying a signed piece and not seeing the signature first hand.

[@guidopapeete1021]

The best collection i’ve ever seen ,will you advise me which collector's item to start with?

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Thanks for your kind comment. I recommend starting with pieces or characters you are drawn too. I started collecting the Toybiz action figure line because it was cheaper than the statues. I eventually moved up but you can start anywhere with the art, United Cutlery weapons, Weta miniatures or 1/6 scale, snow globes, custom pieces. Good luck and happy collecting!

what is the better item to collect in your opinion, the elendil helm limited to 5000, or the isildur helm limited to 2000? I have found places to buy both at reasonable prices, but the elendil helm seems to be in a more limited supply for some reason.

[@BenjaminSchenk]

My advice when it comes to LOTR collectibles is buy what you like and can get a good deal on. I personally would buy both.

[@TheJakeSweede]

@@BenjaminSchenk I was a kid when i first watched LOTR, i have watched the movies hundreds of times, literally, and they are imprinted in my head. My end goal is in the end to buy as many collectibles as possible, but have limited money at the moment. I really like both the elendil helm and the isildur helmet. If i have to choose between them, which i am pretty much forced to at the moment, i would want to secure the more collectible/ rare helmet, which i why i am asking you. Rarity is probably not just depending on supply, but demand as well. Neither seems to be super rare, but still im interested to know your opinion, if you have one, or if i could pressure you into having an opinion, what would it be? :d

2 questions; what is the rarest piece in your collection. And your personal fav of all the pieces.

[@BenjaminSchenk]

@@roac2988 I would say the rarest 2 pieces are the lifesize Gandalf and Gollum. I spoke with Weta about the numbers on them and I was told they had only made and sold 10. They are open edition pieces and could be remade but they are 1 of 10's currently. My favorite piece overall is lifesize Gandalf by Weta, in 1/4 scale is Halimaw Cave Troll, in 1/6 scale it is Azog the Defiler on Warg by Weta, my favorite environment is the Argonaths by Weta, and my favorite art piece is the Hildebrandt Brothers Gandalf visits Bilbo.

Hello, great collection! Apart from the figurines of all sizes, do you have other LOTR-related stuff. I have an opera on LP. There also exists a Broadway Musical,.: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Rings_(musical) ... and what about other things like board games, pop-up books... Could you please show us.

Hello. Thank you for checking it out and for your comment. I do have a large number of action figures and about 15-20 more art pieces from various artists not on display in the collection. I also have some board games and about 40 to 50 books about Middle earth in some way. I am working on restoring a 10-foot display case and I plan on making a new video with all the updated pieces in the collection. I have added well over 100 since the filming of this video.

No smaug figures??? Didn't see one

I have a Smaug statue at 12:35. Check it out.

@@BenjaminSchenk oh wow. That is definitely smaug I didn't see the gold he was standing on. Just thought it was some lesser Drake. You need a bigger smaug!! Awesome collection though by the way.

I assume those basement windows get sunlight? If so, you're storing your books in the absolute worst place you could. Sunlight is terrible for books. FYI

Thanks for the suggestion.
