Here follows a small addition to my list:

- "LotR" Monopoly (I find it very enjoyable you can buy Bill the Pony and Asfaloth instead of railroads!

)
- Another bookmark with Merry and Pippin on one side, King Théoden and Eowyn on the opposite.

Samwise, yes, I, too, bought trading card packs with hopes of finding a Sam card inside...

. No luck so far. Lovely card!

I have played LOTR Trivial Pursuit once or twice...that's fun.

One can never have too many close up shots of Sam.

I try to stick to www.diverzions.com for my cards, since you can see right in front of you what you're getting, but every once in a while I'll be bumping around on ebay, and....

I am getting two more LOTR related items--one for myself, and one for a gift-before I have to quit "merchandise hunting" for a while because I have huge dentist bills to pay.

The first is a gift for a gift for a fellow LOTR enthusiast and a Karl Urban/Eomer fan.

The second is, believe it or not, for me.

I say "believe it or not" 'cause it's not of Sean/Sam. The little guy's eyes just really got to me in this pic. Besides, you can't have Sam without Mr. Frodo , now can you?

Those are really Cool, Samwise.

I guess my husband figured he hadn't bought me anything in a while so he got me LOTR Trivial Pursuit, and I found a poseable Gollum on clearance for $1.34 at Target, so I figured I could afford him.

Clearance? Target? (Makes mental note)

I just bought that book about Fairy Stories before Tolkien. I forget the title.

My sister and I spent about twenty minutes in Target playing with this Gollum/Smeagol posable toy that talked. If you push one button, he talks like Gollum, and the other button makes him talk like Smeagol. IT PLAYED THE FISH SONG!! Wheee! It also did the "Smeagol Cackle" that he does when he drops the rabbit into Frodo's lap. Oddly, we went into Target to buy Gummi Worms. How we ended up in the toy aisle is anybody's guess.

As for merchandise that I own, my collection is pathetically slim. I have FOTR and TTT on video, of course. I also have a bookmark and an action figure. (okay, okay, it's Legolas. Don't hit me. I'm not an obsessed fangirl.) In addition, I have FOTR, TTT, and ROTK for Playstation 2, as well as TTT for Gameboy Advance. They're fun, but it's depressing when you end up dying. It makes you want to scream, "I've Failed the Fellowship! Waaah!" Well, that's what it makes ME feel, anyway.

Trivial Pursuit? Oh, cool, can I come up to your house and play, Miss Rae?

Sigh...got to pay th' dentist money I could be using to spend on my collection....

But oh, well. I think all I have room for now is cards and pictures and the like, if you follow me.
