Wow, some of these collections are massive! Here's my humble collection:

Books:

- three-in-one Alan Lee illustrated LotR
- smaller paperback copies (two of which are my aunt's from the 70s)
- the Silm hardcover, illustrated by Ted Nasmith
- HoME I-V paperback box set
- the Tolkien Reader
- the Languages of Middle Earth (I forget who wrote it)
- Weapons and Warfare movie book, very interesting but not entirely accurate to LotR
- The Art of the Fellowship of the Ring (movie book)
- The Art of the Two Towers (also a movie book)

Alas, I don't own the Hobbit or UT yet.


Movies:

- FotR EE DVD
- National Geographic DVD on LotR which came with the above
- TTT EE DVD (so much abbreviation!)
- RotK regular DVD... can't wait for the EE!
- Secrets of Middle Earth DVDs, which analyze the Hobbit and each section of LotR. I have yet to watch them; I never seem to have the time.


CDs:

- all three movie soundtracks; I hope they make longer ones with the EE music included. All the music would be nice, because there is some beautiful stuff which aren't on the soundtracks.
- "Nightfall in Middle-earth" by Blind Guardian

I'm always on the lookout for Tolkien-related CDs but so far I have not come across anything which sounds the way I've imagined it. I wanted this CD that Christopher Lee made, but when I finally had the money the store didn't have it anymore


Other:

- four movie posters
- the Evenstar necklace
- tons of little newspaper clippings sprinkled all over my walls
- a fantasy magazine with a lovely series of LotR movie articles
- a keychain with the Ringspell on it
- the One Ring (which came off a bookmark tassel)
- maybe fourteen bookmarks, most of which I can't find because they're scattered in various books
- a Legolas patch
- Aragorn pin
- pack of cards
- Argonath bookends which I love fiercely
- Aragorn light-up glass goblet! Very cool.
- massive T-shirt
- brochures from the museum exhibit I just went to
- two prints, I believe by the brothers Hildebrant, autographed by them (fortunately they're not any of the goofy-looking ones. They're good.)
- a "Herr der Ringe" book my friend got for me in Germany. Very intriguing, although I actually sat down and read the whole thing depite the fact that I understood around three words.

That's all I can think of right now, although I am sure there's more... I'm trying to convince my parents to buy the chess set, but so far it's not working. I'm also trying to convince them that a sword is a perfectly logical thing to buy. Sort of working.

Now that I look at it, wow, I do have a lot of stuff!
