I have come across a range of somewhat strange LOTR merchandise. In Portugal you can get biscuits (cookies to the USA) with LOTR pictures on them. We got them for my 'nephew' (he's four) and not only did they taste awful they didn't even look like the characters!

Another piece of tacky merchandise has to be the nodding dolls of the characters! Anyone seen them - awful.

I don't mind cashing in on success but some folks are taking it too far. I have LOTR door plaques, signed pictures, elven styled jewellery and am awaiting an elevn style ring. So I am part of the target group I guess. Plus furniture in Riven dell style sounds great - it would go in my elven style bedroom!

Peace be with you all
