What LOTR collectibles do you own? Do you find yourself strolling down the aisles of ToyRUs or Target hoping hope against hope they have gotten a new shipment of LOTR figures in so you can finally get that missing one? Do you stay in the Barnes and Nobles for hours reading all of the magazine articles on LOTR or the actors simply because you cannot possibly buy them all each week.

Hmm....obsessive or just mildly fanatical?

At what point did you realize that maybe, just maybe, you had an addiction worse than crack???


Okay that being said - here is my list of collectibles as it is.

DVDs, CD, and Games:

And of course - my Elvish tattoo. (No it does not say 9!!) It is a dedication to my father in Elvish so that only certain people would know what it said.

Okay - I think I am on of those "obsessive fans".

So does that make me obsessive?

[Alassante]

Sorry to say - you are definatly obsessive too.

I tried the Third Age game but couldn't get into it. Do you like it? Being in England you guys get much cooler stuff over there. I love Empire Magazine but it's like $10 here. I don't know how much that is over there.

I forgot to mention I have the Elvish Love Pendant - It says "One ring to show our love, one ring to bind us, one ring to share our love,and forever intertwine us." And I forgot all of the bookmarks - I have most of them.

I had the Nenya ring from Noble but it was so big (tall wise) I kept catching it on things. Since it was so expensive I sent it back. I love the Noble's collection - I want to get the Ring of Barahir, the light of Elendil, and the trilogy Holographic Image Chamber. I would love to get the chess set but who can afford it?

[Thuriniel]

I have a silver replica of "The One Ring". I wear it around my thumb. I think it's totally cool. Some ask me if the script is arabic .

OTHER STUFF

2004 Calendar
3 Leggy magnets on my mini-fridge

So, am I obessed? I've collected all of this stuff in the course of exactly one year. Well, a year and a day. Yesterday was the anniversary of my conversion into fandom.

[SpaceWeavil]

Oh, Galadriel barbie! I want that Not so sure about the Legolas one though. Didn't like it the same.

My jewellery isn't the expensive stuff though. It's the 'budget' model they made of things. Nenya was a present for passing my property law exam this month, so that doesn't count in expenses.

Also forgot my Elrond fridge magnet and I have a poster of Aragorn on horseback on the back of my main door (got that one free with a magazine I think. The poster, not the door ) And I have a fell beast (which is where one of my ringwraith figures came from) but it's broken. It's tail wouldn't fit on and then it fell off the computer monitor and its wing broke. Tried to fix it. Gave up. It now lives on top of the hall cupboard in a sorry state.

Happy fandom anniversary. I think mine must be about now as well, though I can't honestly remember when I started collecting stuff.

[Alassante]

SW - I loved the Two Towers PS2 game and kicked butt on it. When I got the ROTK game - it kicked my butt all over the place. I finally got everyone almost to the final stage and my son - love him but wanted to kill him - left the memory card out of the PS2 and the dog chewed it up. Now I am back to the second level on everyone. I hated the third age where you picked a person to fight then you smack them one time and then you waited for them to smack you back on their turn. Give me a sword or a bow and let me smack them myself!!

Van - Noble's is expensive but they do have a payment plan. I got the Evenstar pendant and the Nenya together so it was enough to spread it over three payments but then I sent Nenya back so my payments went down alot. I got them for Christmas or I wouldn't have gotten them at all. My charm bracelet was for a birthday or something like that. But it is expensive. There is a guy here who has replicas of all of the swords that are dead on and his are like 1/2 price of the Noble's ones.

I wanted the Barbie for Aragorn and Arwen. Now I want Galadriel but they are too expensive and I missed the Arwen/Aragorn one since they don't sell them anymore except on Ebay for a lot more.
