For those that have LOTR ROTK EE Giftset?

On the sideshow/weta page there is a special offer to get the Minas Morgul environment and there is suposed to be a code inside the giftset so you can order it. I have torn through my set over and over and I CAN NOT find this code/special offer form. Does yours have this form? If so where is it? And for some reason mine was just mispacked would anyone care to share this code if they are not going to get Minas Morgul? Much thanks

There should be a coupon with a picture of Minas Morgul on the front somewhere within the box. Mine was beneath the Minas Tirith mock-up.

I don't think it was any special code. I don't have mine in front of me, but I believe it was just 'morgul'

Damn. God bless Perks for posting the code. I was feeling kind of sheepish for freaking out and ordering before leaving work yesterday instead of waiting for Christmas. Looks like I made the right choice after all!

I didn't get a Minas Morgul coupon in my gift set either. And now it's too late to order. Thanks New Line.

Yes please elaborate. The only reason I told the fiancee that I wanted the GS was so that I could have matching Minases. I was a little ticked off to hear that they are already out of them, weeks before Christmas. BAD planning on this one.

Imagine all the people that are going to get this set as a Christmas present than to find out that it is already sold out.

I advise everyone to put yourself on the waiting list in hopes of cancellations and declined credit cards or wait till they hit ebay.

Keep in mind, past sales of gift sets didn't perform nearly as well as anticipated. Sideshow as well as it's hardcore following of collectors was caught off guard with how many orders were placed in such a short time.

Any questions, please stop by:

Minas Morgul is limited to 8,500 worldwide. Those who ordered last week got a free crown or something, I think.

Yes, a free King Elessar Crown similar to their line of 1/4 scale helms. Very detailed collectibles. Here's a few of their helms:

The bad planning was in having a single, ridiculously easy to guess code that was posted all over the internet, allowing a bunch of ebay speculators to load up on them without even buying the giftset. How hard would it have been to have generated individual codes printed on the cards? Considering the giftset costs about $70 list and the Minas Morgul costs an additional $75, a little protection for the people getting this thing before christmas isn't too much to ask.

With all the GS being sold nationwide, I think it was irresponsible having the ridiculous MORGUL offer code and the only 8,500 pieces worldwide. I think everyone who bought the GS should have been able to buy the Minas Morgul collectable. A proof of purchase certificate should have been required for the Minas Morgul collectable. Alot of buyers just got ripped off.

Yeah. They should make people send in their Proof-of-Purchase tab B or C (tab A for upgrade rebate) from the giftset before shipping their polystone. I'm sure there will be a number of those polystones becoming unclaimed and available for those of us on the waiting list.
