|
|
Alright, So tired of looking, I'm a huge arse Boromir fan, and for some reason, no matter how hard I look, I can not find any posters of him at all.
Valar, I'd rather have a wall full of him before Legolas, sheesh.
What kills me is, people say, well he is only in the first movie and all that crud. Which, makes me feel like thrashing them with my imaginary horn of Nazgul.
Anyway, I just know someone here, has to know where in middle-earth to get Boromir Posters... and not him with the Fellowship but him alone *Sighs* I'd seriously give a leg to find some. And Any Other Boromir merchandise too... *Sighs*
Why isn't there a cardboard cut out? DAMN LEGOLAS AND HIS FAN BASE! Can find tons of posters of him but no Captain of the white tower....*Kicks a can across the road, coughs* Am Crazy.
Mean no offense to Legolas fans because I am fond of him, just being silly... *Pulls out her elven knives and starts walking toward Legolas*

Boromir was left out of a lot of the original merchandising, and then a lot of his stuff was discontinued since he didn't appear in the next two films.
Although one of the better known "stars" of the film, Sean Bean just wasn't promoted/marketed very much for this.
All of which is to say, I don't think there ever were any Boromir posters made, although I could be mistaken. You could make one yourself, of course, at your neighborhood copy center provided they look the other way on copy-right infringement . _________________ NB Duchess of WHY TF Cant'chu Punctuate, First Duchess of F*&(ing &*ll yur comma placement sux!

You know what I have done, which would probably get me fired if I was caught...we have a plotter at work (for those of you not familar with the term--it's a big printer used for blueprints--it prints on 42 inch paper). I have printed so many LoTR maps and photo manips and image collages that I have made. It is so much fun but it has likely cost the state a couple hundred dollars. Oh well, they pay that much for a network drop and I could make them one for 5 bucks. Your tax dollars at work! _________________ It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

I am also a big Boromir and Sean Bean fan. Boromir's lack of merchandise is sad. Boromir (IMO) is one of the most underated and missunderstood characters in the books.
That is worth watching to see what the bidding does. I won't pay the 300 he is asking for, but I am intrested is seeing where the bidding ends.
Thanks for the post. |

Thank you all for the wonderful information, and if I had 300 dollars, I'd splurge in a second...
*Stares at her credit card as it burns in her hand, hears the voice of Sauron in her head "Buy...BUY!"*
Suppose I'll just buy all the little tidbits I can get my hands on for now... *Kisses her Boromir Zippo Lighter*
Makes me wish to open a Middle-Earth, LOTR Related store, or make a exclusive Middle-Earth Poster service, and make all kinds of Boromir ones and other underrated characters for fans, and get permission from those who own the rights... and tell them, they'll surely make profits as well...
*Light bulb appears above her head, gets zapped* Owww!
Hm... *Rubs her hands together...* Oh Valar.

I've also noticed the lack of Pippin posters (without Merry). Been looking for one for months but cant find one anywhere. Not even on ebay. _________________ A Drabble A Day Keeps The Bunnies At Bay |
