I found a shop on bricklink that sells some of the LOTR elf hair without the printing. it is in china, but a bulk order could be nice for some of you guys who want lots of elves. The ears could be painted on in with whatever color you guys might want, and each part is really cheap. The shop has some other cool stuff that you guys might want also. I can't tell whether it is legit or not, but I'm assuming it is. The minimum order is $20.00 USD, so some of us might want to order parts in bulk together and ship the parts off to everyone who wants stuff from the shop.

That is actually a pretty cool store. I would be open to starting a bulk order with a few people here

Cool! I could probably organize it, but I would do that after the holidays, there's too much chaos this time of the year.

dude is gonna get shut down fast i bet...
Store has been open for like 3 months, China production plant open for 8 months or so. he figured out how to skim either defects or straight up before the print for the head pieces, and is selling em. i wonder how long till lego finds out who is stealing
edit: that being said... once i have some disposable cash again... totally gonna spend some here...

Yes it looks like a lot of the parts are misprints. So guessing that instead of going in the bin (or melted down, or whatever they do with them) this guy is getting access to them. I wouldn't feel comfortable with either option, as I think it's clear he shouldn't have access to what he's trying to sell...

Ha, I guess there really is a shady underbelly of the Lego world.
Nonetheless I'm still kind of intrigued.

Those of us with questionable moral character might have to just press on without you, Andhe

Not to push off all the risk to one person, but I think someone (Or multiple people if need be) should at least place an order with this guy before we hustle together some money, and see if it's a legit store. I'd hate for people to take a chance, me included, and find out it was a scam, or we received bad stuff.

All of his reviews are good so far. I think the main problem with a test run is that the international shipping is pretty beastly.
If we all go in $5-15, that's a relatively small risk to any single individual, and we split the shipping.
