Rose cotton- I can keep Frodo standing, I actually have a number of the B.K. toys. I'm missing Sam, though. I want him. I go to yard sales and found some of the figures in the happy meal pile... but alas, no Sam.

As for merchandising, what is the big deal? Just because I have toys and calendars and the B.K. light-up glasses and... that doesn't mean I can't have an enlightened conversation about the literature. To me it's fun all the way around.

P.S. I collect the B.K. kids meal toys cause I can't afford the $15-$30 toys from TOyBiz.
