What is your current wishlist for Lotr or Hobbit miniatures and how are you planning on budgeting it out? This would probably be useful client info that GW management would like to know.
For myself my own personal boycott on Hobbit minis is breaking like the Fellowship. I've decided to make purchasing an annual thing on my Birthday and at Christmas, and on the rare occasions where I'm feeling down and need spending on my hobby to lift my spirits (the only time in which I don't care about budget). Of course I won't be the same spendthrift client I used to be in the old days.
My own Wishlist I've always kept my hobby progress on an excel spreadsheet.
Lotr: Mumakil for self Christmas gift. Was saving the last two mumaks on my list for last to seal up my Lotr list. Wanted other models first beforehand. Always had two additional Mahud riders so I was committed to a set of three mumaks.
Hobbit Estimated list of around $1000 on current prices spanned across five years (2014-2018). I separated the minis I have interest in into six categories:
Must Have Current and eventually released minis that look really well sculpted or characters I adore with known released cool miniatures.
Thror, Thrain (both for the design not charac.), Young Dwalin (the Mohawk!)
Really Want Mostly cool minis or characters that I want.
Smaug (Pending affordibility, sculpt, material used), King Dain, Thorin (w/ Orcrist, none that are currently released), Grimm Hammers, Knights of Rivendell
Want Likeable characters or really liked anticipated characters that are expected to have their own model.
Beorn, Prince Bard, King Thranduil, Balin, Gloin
Nice to Have Models or characters I can do without but would be great to have in my collection, especially Bilbo.
Bilbo, Bofur, Bolg
Maybe Models that I'll consider. Definite cut off point incase of price hikes.
Tauriel (LOST!), Radagast, Azog (waiting for a pre-handicapped version), Dale men, Mirkwood elves, Laketown men, Ironhill Dwaves
Not Really Necessary Good to have in collection but very last in priority. Usually the evil forces that I'm not all that into, and I do not need every single dwarf of Thorin's company unless an amazing sculpt is released.
Yazneg, Fimbul, the rest of Thorin's co. dwarves, spiders, warriors of Erebor
It's alright to state if you're priced out, the reason is self explanatory, no need to bash GW for sake of following forum rules. Or state you're on hold and waiting like am mostly.
