Anyway they have events for obsessed people like us, Collectormania 2003 was held awhile ago in London. Fans could get autographs, attend a question and answer session and see special movie screenings. Man, I wish I could have went....

These events are sadly not as good as you would think. I went to Comic-Con in San Diego and even though I had a really great time, I didn't get up to the hobbits in the autograph line (but I did end up getting Sean Astin's but that is a long story). They are fun, but it is very hard to get up to the stars.
Well I attended a RingCon this weekend in Tacoma, Washington. Where I had the pleasure to meet Craig Parker (aka Haldir), and gosh was he a hoot. I didn't get an autograph (I was feeling cheap) but I did get a photo, and additonally I got a Gandalf poster in a trivia contest (even though I didn't win, the other guy I was going against already had the poster). So I had a rather fun time.
My next major LOTR related purchase I am going to make is probably the upcoming ROTK video game. I just saw an ad for it today, and it comes out on the 6th of November, so soon. We have TTT game, and we absolutely love it, so we have to get this one.
I am still thinking about the Pinball machine though, I am going to get that Pinball, someday [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
