Buying LOTR stuff - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I used to buy the trading cards but the habit got too expensive to keep up. I would actually like to sell them but am too lazy to do so.
I bought the official movie guide and later had to buy the movie companion when I went to a booksigning; only books purchased at that particular bookstore would be signed. ah well, it is 'my precioussssss', with PJ's, Fran's, Phillipa's, and Sean A's autographs in it. theonering.net crew was there and they handed out free LotR t-shirts, so that more than made up for having to buy a book I wouldn't have originally bought. ;-)

I wanted to buy the Evenstar pendant or the leaf brooch, but both are 'too expensive' and I don't have anything to wear them with, anyway. they would just sit somewhere and I would probably end up treating them like Gollum treated the ring, and that wouldn't be good, would it?
since I don't 'let' myself buy that sort of thing, I don't feel bad about spending money on the dvds and books and soundtracks.
