WOW! 120+ of scenes from FOTR, TTT, and ROTK! Some of them don't depict very happy scenes, but a lot of good closeups of Frodo AND Sam (some where you can actually see the color of his pretty eyes....) quite a few close-ups of Frodo too, Miss Lynn. Among the 120+ were included four identical valentines, all of your Li'l Mr. Wood/Frodo in Shelob's lair, holding aloft the Phial, which read, "May This Ring True--Have a Happy Valentine's Day."
One, sadly, is of Frodo snapping at Sam that he will not leave Gollum... Erg...one of them, unfortunately, is of Frodo in the Black Tower, with some nasty Orc grabbing him by the hair (a wonder he didn't pull the wig off). One of the Movie cards (I like the "behind the scenes" ones best) is of "Sam", "Frodo", and--erm--"Gollum" ala Andy Serkis in between them. 'Lil Lijah's got that big boyish grin on his face that I think is so darn cute. Another of the "interesting" Movie Cards is of Sean and 'Lij in partial Orc armor, PJ with them, scoping out something. Looks a tad odd....and ah! A jewel...a Movie Card of Sam holding Frodo in his arms on Mt. Doom...AHHH! Where's the Kleenex!?!? *oh, it's right behind me--whew!*
One of "Frodo" and "Sam" looking at one another--most of what you see is Sam's back, a profile of Frodo and two camera men with the camera aimed at our boys.
Back to the cards...one of Frodo getting a first look at the Ring...the one where the inscription is reflected on his face--big blue peepers and all...Eeek... one of the Cave Troll stabbing Frodo...the look on the little guy's face is NOT pleasant...thankfully we all know how that scenario turned out...
A nice one of Frodo standing on the balcony in Rivendell...one of him, big blue peepers an' all, when he's going to surrender the Ring to the Nazgul...Couple of foil stickers of Frodo and Sam...couple of Frodo in Shelob's Lair...Profile of Sam w/Sting...

Samwise: Oooooh, Stacey! I'm envious...those cards sound
great!! (Feel free to post them you-know-where!) **slowly turning green** (hey it is St. Paddy's Day!)

Maybe one of you really dedicated collectors can help me out? I've suddenly taken an interest in collecting a few more of the action figures - I did have just 3 (all gifts bar one) and I have a sudden urge to get more because they look great! But I cant get some of the ones I want without going on e-bay and paying lots of money, and I'm not the kind of collector who leaves things in the box (don't curse me, I do open them up very carefully!), so I don't like to think I'm paying more just to have the box. Anyway I keep looking on the regular shopping sites and see that a 'trilogy' range will be out soon, a reissue of sorts - is this true? I do want a Boromir quite badly (and not to check to see if he has his 'blades' tattoo!)

Lalwendė: Uh-oh...once you start with these action figures, they get
very very addictive!! I started collecting them less than a year ago, and have quite a large collection now. With some figures, I purchase only one, and leave it MIB (mint in box). With the ones I
really like, I buy two--one stays in the box, and one goes out on display. I have bought almost all of mine at ElfMart (think WalMart), Target, KB Toys, & Toys R Us. EToys.com also has quite a good selection. I have only purchased one action figure on eBay, and that was only because it was one that was not available in stores, as it was sold only at comic con this past summer (2 Ringwraiths & Twilight Frodo-3 inch). I actually have 6 Boromir's (3 MIB, 3 on display). I had to buy that 3rd one, since he had his dagger and the other 2 figures did not. Just keep checking...you never know what you can find! Every time I go into a store, I head straight to the toy section to see what LotR figures they have, then I'll do the rest of my shopping.
Happy hunting!!
