Oh, that art you linked to is wonderful. I always do enjoy good fanart

Haven't added anything to my LOTR collection in a long time. I guess I am preparing now for college (I am going to be attending Gonzaga University in the fall), and having to leave all that I do have behind, so I really don't want to make it any bigger than it already is.

But if I find something I must have, I will probably most likely buy it.

Six Boromirs? Wow. And I was impressed with my four Gandalfs
Helen: Maybe it’s time for me to go toy shopping. I only have 4 Gandalf’s (3 6-inch & 1 3-inch)…

Feel free to post them you-know-where!)

I'll do my best, Miss Lynn, but I find the cards don't scan very well. I will see what I can do.
Stacey: Well, if you want to talk Frodo & Sam… 19 Frodo’s (15 6-inch, 1 12-inch, 3 3-inch) and 14 Sam’s (12 6-inch, 2 3-inch). Remember, you can never have too many Frodo's or Sam's!!

If you can’t scan the cards, don’t worry about it.

OhboyOhboyOhboyOhboyOhboyOhboy!!!!
Look what I've just added to my collection!!!!

*DINGDINGDING! Miss Lynn! Frodo Alert!
Stacey: What great Frodo & Frodo/Sam pictures! I wish I could draw like that.


Not really a lot to add to the collection. Just a few 3-inch figures: 1 galloping Ringwraith; set of 3 Rohan army figures (standard bearer, solder & archer). I rearranged my action figures...moved all my hobbits from the entertainment center to the buffet, then behind the figures, I put Hadhafang in its tabletop display. I also bought the really large 'Frodo with Sting in Rivendell' poster, mounted it in a nice frame, hung it over the Hobbit Buffet and mounted my real Sting on the wall next to the poster. It looks sooooo cool!!

Goodness Miss Lynn...you're adding on to your home, right?

Anyway, my latest addition...four cards from the obscure game, all four of which feature the Nine Walkers. .

Alatariel - I have now officially become addicted to collecting those figures! You were correct! They are just so detailed I can't resist them.

Now, one thing I did buy today and can recommend to you folks is a set of 10 Tolkien UK Royal Mail postage stamps, featuring Tolkien's own artwork. They are very nice indeed, very, um, classy (I hate that word). I think they were issued last month. Buy them, they only cost around £2.80! I would scan them and post a piccy but it might be against the law or something.

Lalwendė: I have to say 'I told 'ee so Sam'...Those figures are fantastic, aren't they? I love them.

I don't know if those stamps are available here in the States, but they do sound classy. Why can't our post office issue LotR stamps like other countries do? Maybe we should start a petition?

Alas, I must resist all temptation until payday, but I now have ten figures!

See if this link works to the page with the Tolkien stamps. I've just discovered they are buyable online.

Thumbs up Oooh...

The link works...very nice. Sadly, I can't spend money at the moment, either....
