Being in England you would think the stuff easier to find seeing as tolkien wrote in England. Not so we didn't get light up goblets, or talking figure unless the button is well hidden. we got plastic figures that look nothing like the actors(except Arwen) and even these disappeared within three weeks i only got four of them! how many kids meals can you eat?

Just have to add that i totally agree with lord of the flies being rubbish and never read it!! we had to for english GCSE and while the class was arhhhing i was asleep or reading HoME for the second time! HoME is great in boring english lessons!
