No temporary hold from anybody except Weta
Because BBTS doesn't do the stupid hold that Weta does. And they are super lax about cancelling pre-orders.
I never order anything from WETA, so a $70 credit won't do me much good.
Well you could use the 70 dollars to buy something, anything, to just sell on eBay to cut your costs. Maybe that's too much work for the final value savings. Heck buy 3 of the Weta Collection books and sell them when they sell out.

Bit if you're ordering this, that's something.
And this is the first real big over the top piece from The Hobbit, with maybe more to come.
Get it anyway you can though.

That's better than nothing.
You got that right. I'm just happy to finally have this on order.
I really did not want to miss this one. Not only because of his role in the movies but more because of his part in the History of Middle-Earth. The section of the appendicies dealing with the Dwarves and Durin's line is among my favorites, especially the story of Thror going to Moria and Azog beheading him and carving his name in his forehead.
That really sets up the significance of the Dwarves hatred of the Orcs and how brutal the war between them was.
I hear that. I wish the history in the movie hadn't been changed but I still like Azog and as you said he represents that character from Middle-earth. So its win/win.
Yeah, like I've said, I don't understand the drastic change to the story. If I had to guess, I'd say that Azog buys it in DOS and Bolg steps up for The Battle Of Five Armies.

Sorry, I don't know the story well, but what's the big difference between the movies vs the appendice concerning Azog?
The main differences are:
-Instead of just getting his arm cut off he is killed and beheaded.
-It is Dain who takes him down - not Thorin

Wow major difference. Now i see why people may be upset.

But I understand then the decision of PJ. It would have been to much of father and son's revenge on both clans with the story. I just hope Azog last until the last movie and get kill near the end. Hope they won't make the same mistake than star wars with darth Maul.
