Finally got my Sam and Saruman. However, I had a problem with my Saruman's beard and was hoping the distributor would provide me with a replacement part. I made a piece for Sam to allow the scabbard to hang at the waist.
Are things still looking like we will get a reveal of the next wave this month?
Yes, the next wave will be revealed in the Fan Fest Showcase (Entertainment) on YouTube at the end of the month (April 29th or 30th)
BUT it will not be offered for pre-order for a couple of months. This month we will re-offer a previously release figure in new packaging, and next month is the next Gallery Diorama. After that it will be Series 8.

Exciting stuff!
Is the next diorama a creature that scales with the figures or is it a character?
everyone get your guesses in on the re-issue. I think Moria orc and Frodo are really strong contenders.
Next diorama is a character.
We are actually re-issuing Series 1-4 already, you may be able to pre-order them now.
I could see the re-issue being Gollum, maybe in a new package as a less deluxe version, for those who either missed him the first time around or didn't want all the extras. But Frodo is also a good guess, or one of the army builders. Glad to hear series 1-4 are being re-issued. I still gotta pick up a couple more Ringwraiths; 1 just ain't enough!

unless I misunderstand the re-issue is the con exclusive with nice packaging and more accessories. Frodo makes sense because of his missing cloak, also maybe a new hand holding the ring and a base on the shores of the Anduin, or Ammon Hen?
I don’t know what they could do to improve Gollum or give him even more accessories than he already has.
Invisible Frodo has gone up for pre order. So, I take it that is the re-release. He came out the first time of course in the pack with Gollum and his boat.

Oh weird! Is this the con exclusive then? I’ll wait and see what the DS blog updates with. Curious what accessories they could possibly add.
the transparent Frodo would not have been in my top ten picks for a reissue.
And we are getting Witch King and Eowyn for Series 8!
So to recap what all has happened…
Series 8 is indeed the Witchking and Eowyn. They look great!
Cave Troll is releasing soon.
Invisible Frodo is the reissue. The box art is on the DST insta, no word on accessories. I’m pretty disappointed in this honestly. Huge L for everyone who got the exclusive 2 pack years ago (that is still easily available for very cheap)
Trailer for season 2 of ROP dropped today, I need that armored Elrond dammit!
also, in case this place goes dark again I made a sub Reddit just for the DST LOTR line r/DSTLordoftheRings
@arondir I agree the Witchking and Eowyn look great. Do they go up for pre-order at the end of next week? I hope Eowyn will come with an unmasked head. During the YouTube live Q&A, DSTChuck wouldn't commit to that. I wonder if it's a likeness or a cost issue.
I also agree that the invisible Frodo seems like an odd choice. Not what I was hoping for, but maybe there are lots of folks that want it.
Agreed- Witch King and Eowyn looked pretty darn nice! I guess if she were to come with an unhelmeted head, there's some army building potential with Eowyn. Remains to be seen, I suppose.
I agree, the Rings of Power trailer looked pretty darn good. I thought season 1 was pretty good- a little slow at times, but never boring. I'd gladly take figures of a couple of the characters- maybe more after season 2, since it looks to have more action.
