I feel a little foolish at my age for having barbies, but yeah I got the Galadriel barbie for christmas! She's simply beautiful and well displayed which is good because I don't like taking my figures out of the package.

You shouldn't. I know people in their 60's and 70's who collect Barbies.

Heck, I'm 34 and I collect Teddy Bears, and there are people who are far older than me who do as well. Both are highly collectible.

I have only seen pics of the Galadriel Barbie, but she is beautiful. Don't care much for the Ken as Legolas--the body proportion's not quite right for and Elf.

Nothing on my collection front except for more TCG cards. I am filtering through them to "weed out" (if you follow me) all of the Orcs, places, weapons, etc. to sell on ebay if I can. I try to collect mostly characters, 'specially Hobbits and ESPECIALLY SAM !

Come to think of it, I am trying to find a bear for my collection that strikes me just right to name "Sam"...haven't been able to find one, yet.

I hope you find "him!" And congratulations with the nephew! (I know this is kinda late, but my other post was getting a tad long....) Three months ago I added a 3rd nephew to my collection, too bad he has pnuemonia right now.

Anyway, no Frodo pics on my day calendar yet, though I did get a precious one of Merry and a Legolas one that I gave to an obsessed friend.

I had no luck with finding any calenders in stores. Thanks for the links though Morai - I just need to get my paycheck and maybe I can finally get a calender. By the way, did you get your daily calender in stores?

Yep, my mom bought it for me @ Target the day after Thanksgiving. (While I was at a nearby store.) I wish you even more luck on finding one. I did find a picture of Frodo AND Sam from ROTK a few days ago, it made me happy.

I still have my wall calendar from 2004 on the wall--next to my Sting, where it was all last year. I have it open to May, where the pic is a close up of Frodo and Sam.
