Oh, that TTT book is a really good one. Each section of the book is basically dedicated to a charater, or a group of charaters, or a land or place. Since it is the only one of the film books that I own which is hardback, that is the one that I get the actors to sign. I already have the signatures of Andy Serkis and Sean Astin in it (he signed it for me on the first page, and one cute thing he always does when he is signing for a person is that he writes "Sam" below his name. Like I would ever forget who his charater is [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Well, this has nothing to do with Ebay, but I thought it was funny. As seen on a shirt at Comicon festival:
"I was... Chased from my house Stabbed by a wratih Assaulted by a muntant octopus Speared by a troll Stalked by a creepy little man Drawn into a corpse filled swamp Poisoned by a spider Rendered unconsious I even lost my ring, And all I got was this lousy t-shirt

LOL, Morai!!
Now THAT would make a fun collectible!! Who knows, one may yet turn up on ebay. Contrary to what it may look like, though, this is a thread about our LOTR collections, not ebay--I just went on a huge bidding spree there a while back ago and so now all the newest LOTR collectibles I'm recieving are from ebay! My prize peice--a "9 polystone figurine of Sam and Bill--came from Sideshow Toy. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ugh...well, I recieved a set of cards from my "spree" today, and I just wrote a huge post describing every one individually, then it wouldn't post my post 'cause I had more than 8 smilies, and when I came back to fix it my message was gone. I am NOT doing it over again. ;p The person I bought them from took four sets of cards and separated them into all Sam and/or Frodo (mostly Frodo). Some are Fellowship, a few are TTT. The back describes either the scene on the front (except for the ones from the trading card game), or has a tidbit from the movie; ie: a model of the Cave Troll, a conceptual drawing of Frodo in costume, etc.
My favorite of the whole bunch is from the movie set, a card entitled "My Life as a Hobbit"--on the front is Jackson directing Li'l Mr. Wood and Sean Astin in the "Dead Marshes", and on the back is a pic of Li'l Mr. Wood, in a sweater and blue jeans, yet with his wig on, with that big boyish grin on his face. It's very cute. (Weird--my fave pic of the whole bunch dosen't involve Sam....;p What's wrong with that picture??)

Phew! I got home from work today and not long after the mail came. I have FOUR packages that I KNOW are from the "Spree"--and I am sure from the shape of one of them that....well, more in a minute, I have to open them. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
[EDIT] It's NOT what I thought it was!!!! I thought it was Sam in Orc armor, but it was Frodo and Sam and the Elven boat!!!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Plus:

However, later today I got a "second chance" email--evidently this guy had more than one copy of the book with the "interesting" art, and offered it to me for my original bidding price. I figured, "I'm getting paid again in a couple of weeks, what the heck?" So I'm getting it too. As for the "Red Book", I've kept a yearly journal since 1983, so I may use it next year...or, I may just keep it as is, not sure yet. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] It's just too nice to send back.

I got a cold which gave way to the beginning of my LotR Action Figure Collection!!! Wheeew!! I wouldn't own then before because I thought they were degrading to the actual features of the actors/actresses, but I changed my mind. I got Frodo first, of course. I couldn't believe how much he looks like Elijah!
Together my sister and I have: ~T.T.T. Frodo with light-up Sting ~Helm's Deep Aragorn ~FotR Merry and Pippin 2-pack ~Galadriel ~Eomer ~Witch King (in Ring-bearer perspective) ~Elven prologue warrior (I was so upset that they didn't have Sam! *Gimli grrr* Next I'll probably get Theoden because he's the only one left that I can get in my area and don't have.) (I also got "The Two Towers", but I'm hiding it to surprise my sister.)

Yours are the Toy Biz Action Figures, aren't they? They're just great, I think. The detail is just amazing.
I finally have a Frodo, now, to go with my soon to be 3 Sams. I MUST have a Frodo to go with Sam. For me, they are NEVER going to be separated again! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Woo! Updates! I love shopping!
-Of course, I now have my shiny new TTT dvd... -I just bought a Frodo t-shirt from Hot Topic. I loooove it... I think I'll wear it on the first day of school... -I forgot my lovely animated LotR movies. How could I?! I have both "The Lord of the Rings" and "Return of the King" Btw, here's the link to Hot Topic for the Frodo t-shirt. I haven't seen it anywhere else, and I thought you guys might like it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] They have a bunch of Legolas shirts, too, for you Leggy fans.

A small update: I got my lithograph (like yours Stacey), the 3 sets of cards (Frodo, Boromir & Legolas), the Sean/Elijah photo, and the Twilight Frodo with 2 Ringwraiths from the eBay spree. I still have a large set (72 cards) of cards and my "One Ring" still to come. I also found (at SuperTarget) the 'Aragorn at the Pelennor Fields' (in his Gondorian armor with Andúril). My friend found Éowyn in armor (dressed as Dernhelm). He had the nerve to buy the last one and then bring it to show me..the ratfink!

The Action figures are something, aren't they? I haven't been into action figures since I was a kid....these are totally cool.
Recently I also ordered (from ebay -- bad bad BAD....... 2" Frodo and Sam--Attack at Weathertop After the talk about the 3" figures on here, I started hunting and found this one. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Again, Frodo and Sam, TOGETHER as they should be! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I think I'm caught up telling about everything I've gotten so far...

Well...this afternoon came Sam #3--Sam Gamgee in Orc armor. Goodness the detail in these things.....the look on his face is a combination of anger and determination... [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I think, since this one is mint in the box, I may keep him there. I do have two other Sams, now, and...well, the Orc armor certainly isn't as becoming as Sammie's regular duds. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amarantha, Wow! those t-shirts are cool! I really like the Rivendell and Lothlorien tees on Tolkientown but they are currently out of stock!
Ya know guys, I just might be persuaded to sell my Pippin cloak card on e-bay. Some of those babies are going for upwards of $75! Oh, my newest acquisitons are a Legolas bobblehead and some cardboard store displays.

What I would like next, Miss Rae, is a Hobbit cloak (NO HINTS THERE! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])
Someone was selling a couple they had made on ebay, but they just weren't "right" somehow. And I don't sew...SIGH.... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I am getting impatient right now...
I ordered the ROTK posters, but they have yet to come. Originally on the site they said that they would be shipped out on Sept 5, but now it says that they won't be shipped out until the 10th. Which I guess is okay, but I really want those posters [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oh and I also got a lovely One Ring in silver from a booth at a festival that I went too. It looks like the ones that they sell at Tolkientown, but I paid much less for mine.

I have been SOOOOOO bad...went back to ebay. Didn't get 'Try Seventeen' or 'Paradise' yet (but I will eventually), but did get 'Flipper', and a cd-rom with 5,200 (count 'em--5200) pics of Elijah, including wallpapers. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Not got any of the newer stuff, except 'Bumblebee'. It came really fast! I only won/paid the auction on the 5th and it was in my mail yesterday. Of course, I had to watch it last night. I really liked it. The more I see Elijah or Sean in other films, the more impressed I am by their talent.

I want to make stuffed Frodo and Sam dolls... If you go to "Build a Bear" you can get one of those 'lil things you put inside the dolls so that when you squeeze it it makes noise...and you can record your own sounds, too! *squee* I want to make stuffed hobbits that talk... Hmmmm... I hope you can buy those recorder thingies... I don't know if you can buy them seperately or if you have to make a bear with one...

Well--it may not be an authentic replica, but I just may have my Sting yet!
Take a peek! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, I haven't posted on this part of the site for awhile, but I did just get my two ROTK teasers a couple of weeks ago. They are absolutely beautiful! My personal favorite is Gandalf, it is very trumpant, and white [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Additionally the Frodo one is really beautiful too, but the picture of it is kind of sad [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] and it tugs on the heartstrings. You feel so sorry for the poor guy.
Samwise, have you looked at Target. Because the last time I was there I think I saw that one. It is cool though. I am glad you may almost have a Sting [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Target? Haven't been there in a while, but I'll take a peek next time I'm there. Haven't been outbid on the other, though.

Well, I recieved A Hobbit's Journal today, the one with the pictures. I personally didn't think any of the pics were so bad--just maybe not the way I would have pictured them. (ie: Elrond with a beard? ) LOL...Ugluk and friends? That's being kind. The pic of Frodo I thought was perfect. Looks a tad "haunted", like he's had the Ring a while. Faramir? A little too Robin-Hood-esque, yeah, but "Gone very wrong?" Not to my eye. Eh. Everyone has a different eye for this stuff...... Very interesting, a neat collectible. Not sure if I'll write in either this or my "Red Book, though, or just keep them as they are. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Now that means I have 7 LOTR posters 1 for FOTR, 3 for TTT, and 3 for ROTK. And additionally I still have the final ROTK one to add.

Hullo, Naz, welcome to the thread, an' to the 'Downs, as I don't think I've said so already.
I was only able to get one of the Burger King figures, my "Sam", but that was off of ebay. Aside from Frodo to go with him, Sam the one who takes up the majority of my collection, anywhoo. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Gorwingel: Hum....since my father painted the inside of the house, I feel weird putting up posters in my room. They have little fasteners from 3M that aren't supposed to hurt your walls, but....I don't know. I still feel wierd. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] The little Frodo magnet I have is based on a poster design, though--leastways I think so--it has Frodo in the background, and in the foreground, really tiny, are Sam and Frodo being led through the Dead Marshes by Gollum.(TTT).

I've added several books, some new, some old, to my collection. I bought The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy, which promises to be a fascinating read, and The Hobbit graphic novel, which has nice drawings and keeps much of the original dialogues. I "inherited" a Tolkien biography, J.R.R.Tolkien, Architect of Middle-Earth from one brother and Bored of the Rings from the other. The latter seems to be a first printing of the paperback, 1969, with some rather strange artwork on the cover.
I also bought a "One Ring" bookmark just because it looks cool... Oh, and I've finally found some good pictures of the figurines that come with the children's chocolate eggs in Germany - here they are: FotR TTT RotK (coming in November) I have the first two series and am looking forward to collecting the third! PS - Oh, I almost forgot the biggest purchase - I finally splurged on J.R.R.Tolkien, Artist and Illustrator - lovely pictures by the man himself!

I have "Artist and Illustrator", and like it very much! What is this graphic Hobbit? Is that the same as The Annotated Hobbit I've seen at bookstores? I love The Hobbit...if it's graphic, I want it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
