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. |

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. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/s...&product=AP234 |

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

Does collecting LOTR-themed songbooks count?
 The Starlit Jewel songbook (very good!)-- ordered online, well worth it. Second edition (wierd pink cover) of The Road Goes Ever On (Swann)-- ebay purchase-- yuck, it smelled like smoke! It's hanging out in the garage til it airs out! Latest edition (black cover w/CD ) of The Road Goes Ever On (Swann)-- new copy ordered from UK. Happy Helen. ...and... I *just* ordered all 3 movie songbooks on Amazon. (Helen does little dance of glee anticipating the coming riches.) Someday, maybe I'll add to that, a good clean printout of the filk I've found online... the good stuff. Most of the satire leaves me cold, but there is enough heart-wrenchingly good filk-music out there to keep me looking... And maybe someday I'll add to *that* a printout of the other canonical songs that I've finally learned tunes for!
