Gil-Galad? You got..... Gil-Galad???

...which toy store?

I've found you a picture of Gil-Galad - he's one of the nicer figures, even if he does look a bit like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Quite rare, too, though I got an unboxed one from ebay for only £5.

I think davem may be more Tookish - he lacks any inclinations towards boating so cannot be a Brandybuck. That's more likely to be me, as I am very fond of boats but very, very frightened of fire.

He does have quite a resemblance doesn't he?

Anyways, I didn't really recieve anything LOTRish for Christmas. Though my mum and I did play LOTR Monopoly LOTR style last night. Every time someone rolls the Eye of Sauron, he/she moves the One Ring to the next property (territory) and moves his/her character only one space. If they land on the same property as the Ring and it isn't owned, he/she can claim it for free. If it is owned, they have to play double rent. Also, when the Ring makes it to Mt. Doom, the game is over. It makes for a quick game.
