I discovered an interesting LotR collectible item in a little shop in Heidelberg recently - 3-D figures lasered into glass cubes! (The company manufactures lots of other figures, and what I bought was not LotR, but I thought it would be interesting to show to all of you.) Alas, the website pictures can't show the astonishing detail and the wonderful effect of the figures, which consist of thousands of tiny dots and can be viewed from all sides. The ring, floating diagonally in the glass cube, looks particularly spectacular. The site is in German, but you'll see the "Special: Lord of the Rings" link which takes you to that page. Enjoy!

Oh, WOW....
Those are cool.
 Of course I would want a Sam with Frodo to go with him, (if I had that kind of dinero at the moment) but Arwen is done just gorgeously, too.I was bumping around ebay recently looking for something also totally not-LOTR related, and found THIS . It's probably something other folks have seen before, but I never had. Very cool, 'specially with all the Sams.

Just won the chess set this afternoon.
Don't know if I'll keep it all, as the figures...well, some of the figures pertain more to other folk than they do to me, if you take my meaning. I am STILL waiting for the sets of cards I last mentioned. Usually I get a little over - anxious, but this time I feel the seller is taking way too long to send me what I bought...  Then, as with another time, things do happen that are uncontrollable.

I added something very nice to my LotR collection today - a round puzzle with movie characters and scenes depicted on it. It can be seen here. It's called (translated) 'The Destruction of the Ring' and has 1000 pieces. I love jigsaw puzzles, though I will have to hide this one from myself to get other projects done before I start putting it together!

Oh, Esty! I am also trying to get a Ravensburger puzzle. This company makes the best puzzles. I tried to order a new LotR Ravensburger puzzle for the holidays but they were totally sold out, at least at the English language sites I can access. Now they are starting to show up on e-bay so I am trying again. I'll let you know if I have any success!
As some of you know, most of my collecting is in books. That means my taste and desires are often too expensive for my means. But the other day I picked up a 1980 Guild publication Lord of the Rings for a song. The person had a Guild Hobbit up on e-bay that finished just a few minutes before. Everyone focused on that so I was able to sneak in with a $10 bid on LotR and snarf it up. It is one of those fancy leather books that weighs a ton: maroon and gold published in London that's technically a first edition.
