Does everyone have a life size Aragorn cardboard cutout 'cept me?
 
It appears to be so... where did you get it? *hungry look in eyes*

Meela 11-15-2003 07:00 AM

I've seen one in a shop somewhere, and at the London Lotr exhibition. I don't have one either. I almost got one, but they were kinda expensive.

Aethelwine 11-15-2003 07:16 AM

Yes, and you would like to save your money for a Denethor cut-out, wouldn't you, Meela? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I don't have on either, but I would really like to have one. So maybe someone can give me a tip as to where I can get it... *also gives a hungry look*

Navaer!

Aethelwine.

Meela 11-15-2003 07:18 AM

Of course [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Finwe 11-15-2003 01:08 PM

I ordered mine from tolkientown. com

It's an absolutely wonderful store, and yes, some of the items can get a little expensive, but I thought my Aragorn cut-out was definitely worth it! I think I spent a total of $53.55 on it (including shipping, etc.). I'm not really quite sure.

ElenCala Isil 11-15-2003 05:56 PM

I don't have one, and I'm not sure I'd like one. I've been deeply scarred by life-size Frodo cutouts (long story)

Lady Snickerdoodle 11-15-2003 08:56 PM

I don't, *sigh* Seems I'll just have to do with my life size Legolas cut out. Wow, my life really sucks, doesn't it?

which reminds me to order one for my friend for christmas, or she'll warp Legolas's face on mine from make-out practice.

Amarantha_Daisy 11-15-2003 09:43 PM

I don't have one, either...And I don't plan on buying one, seeing as they're a bit pricy. I'm a broke teenager without a job. Poor me...

If I could get one, though, I'd get the hobbit one, with all four hobbits. Or maybe the one of just Frodo... Nah, the hobbits. Well....*mixed emotions*

Gorwingel 11-15-2003 09:51 PM

We, my sister and I sadly do not have the Aragorn cut out (even though my mother would love if we had one of him [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), but we do have the Legolas one. She got it from her friends who bought it for her as a gag gift. The only problem though it that she can't have it in her room because it would freak her out in the middle of the night. So now he is sadly alone in the extra bedroom [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

The FYE store at my local mall currently has a ton of the standees. I think the last time I was there they had basically every standee that has been released, and they were also all on sale [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You haven't been spying on me, have you?? *peeks back over shoulder*
That's exactly what I was going to recommend! My FYE store has all of them, too. I have to go look at all of them every time I'm at the mall. I don't have one, though, because they do cost a bit much, and there's other LotR stuff I want more, I'd rather sve up for at the moment.

thankyou, Finwe! Time to get out the Christmas list...

Nehani 11-16-2003 08:54 PM

I don't have one either. I spent all my money on the brooch, and shipping up to where I live is expensive enough. Then again, do I really want an Aragorn cut out...

Orominuialwen 11-16-2003 10:34 PM

My brother has a giant cardboard cutout of the cover of FotR (the movie, not the book)that our mom bought for about $3(US) from a bookstore near us that was moving to another building. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I wish the cutout could be in my room though...

kittiegirl 11-17-2003 01:55 PM

No, sorry.
My friend Dave has a Gandalf cutout though.
Me has a bunch of bandannas he likes to pu on his head too.
Pink ones...

Finwe 11-17-2003 09:22 PM

I'm trying to buy this life-size Smeagol cut-out that even talks when you push a button. It's supposed to sing the fishing song when the button is pushed. I think it would be a great gift, but if the button got accidentally bumped in the middle of the night, I'd probably wake up screaming bloody murder because: 1) I'm a very light sleeper and 2) I am VERY easily scared when I'm asleep or half-asleep.

Laitoste 11-17-2003 09:41 PM

I don't have one. I'd like one, but I have no money, two trips and college, not to mention no job, and I don't think my parents'll get that for me. I just have to be content with my picture of me with a Gandalf cutout that I found in a youth convention in Atlanta this summer (it didn't turn out very well, either. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ).

Lindril Arvilya 11-19-2003 11:04 PM

When Fellowship first came out, the trailers were playing in Chapters over and over, and there were the cut-outs all over the store. I had a great plan to simply walk confidently and in a business-like manner into Chapters, pick up the four hobbits stand, and walk out again. *sigh* Unfortunately, an unfulfilled wish.

My cousin has one of Luke Skywalker in his costume from A New Hope. It scares me.

But damn I wish I'd taken those hobbitses!

I used to work at Zellers in the Electronics section, and I gave my then-boyfriend a cutout of Samus from Metroid Prime. Then broke up with him. Merry Christmas, jerk.

Oh right... uh... Lord of the Rings. Yeah.

Anything but Arwen 11-20-2003 01:25 PM

Theres an Aragorn cut out at my local cinema.. my friend did the most hilarious little growl at it...I may have to ask to have it after theyve finished plugging the movie... *growwlf*

[Edit] But I would much rather have a cardboard cut out of my avatar...anyone seen one? ANYWHERE!?!

kittiegirl 11-20-2003 08:25 PM

Um, who is it?(If I may ask)
Maybe I could help you out there.

Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien 11-21-2003 02:04 AM

It's Kurt Cobain [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I have a life-size poster of him... but that doesn't really count, eh?

kittiegirl 11-21-2003 12:02 PM

Okay, what from?
Like a band or something?
I listen to music and bands most people haven't heard of, so I'm like in my own little world of non-mainstream music.
Same with most books and movies too.

Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien 11-21-2003 12:49 PM

Getting a little off-topic but he was the lead singer and guitarist from the band NIRVANA.

kittiegirl 11-21-2003 01:31 PM

Okay, like i said, I love in my own little media world sometimes.

Cutouts are fun, espeshially in your room....

Anything but Arwen 12-07-2003 01:23 PM

Life size poster? WHERE?!?! Mmmmm....

Kittiegirl, as cool as underground music is, I think you need to hightail it down to your local record shop and get Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero, Muddy Banks of the Wishkaka, Unplugged and NIRVANA....youre deprived!

Back on topic...ROTK out soonly, hopefully I can score the cut out from my local cinema... *hopehope*

Haha i was going to recommend that too. At my FYE they had Legolas and Aragorn i think they were $24. I have a Legolas one that I got for free at toys R us (didn't steel it the lady gave it to me cuz it only had one leg...the other leg was supposed to be a bookcase...but they kept that lol)

Alatariel Telemnar 12-07-2003 02:45 PM

Ive never seen one... and I dont have one... and I dont want one... of any character... *shudders at some things she's heard* yup... *runs away*

Trippo The Hippo 12-13-2003 08:55 PM

What exactly does one do with a life size Aragorn carboard cut out? Unless somewhere in your house you have a room entirely themed around LotR. Otherwise wouldn't it be rather out of place?

I was going to go for that...a few cut outs, swords mounted on the walls inbetween the posters, busts on the shelf, etc. But my mom opposed it ("you'll waste your money!" "I don't want your little brother seeing all that!", etc. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ). It seems to me like most of the population would actually have life-sized Legolas cut-outs [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img].

Gorwingel 12-14-2003 04:03 AM

I sadly have enough stuff to fill a room, but most of mine is spread around everywhere (well not really everywhere). The only LOTR item that is really in view of the public is my Sting sword, because I just couldn't get myself to hang it in a room where no one would see it (It is currently in the television/entertainment/family room). The room that Legolas is in though is getting close to being a LOTR room because I have both Legolas and all of my TTT posters. It is very LOTRish in there [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] But I love it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sirithheruwen 12-14-2003 08:07 AM

I GOT ONE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I JUST GOT MY LIFE-SIZE CARDBOARD ARRY!!!
I know this isn't very helpful, but I found it in a little stall in a mall (oooh! i rymed!!!) Mine wasn't expensive--it was highway robbery! $35. I bought it with the birthday money from my aunt, otherwiseI would never have gotten it for the life of me.
I don't have many lotr stuff, and since my whole family is so anti-lotr, I have to confine most of it to my room...*sniff*I feel so alone*sniff* [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Finwe 12-14-2003 11:26 AM

Currently, my room is plastered with LotR posters and newspaper articles, and my cardboard Ary cut-out stands in the corner by my desk. That is the only concession to LotR that my parents let me have. I'm not allowed to display my sword, because they think that my 8-year-old brother and his friends are going to steal it, and end up killing themselves with it. Thus, I will have to wait until I have a dwelling of my own, to devote an entire room to pure LotR memorabilia, weapons included. By the time I am 30, I plan to have every weapon and piece of armor featured in the LotR movies.

Well my room isn't fully a LOTR theme but just that kind of time period lots of pics of princesses and princes and that kinds of stuff. Also many LOTR posters and other LOTR materials! Its great!

My sister once stole my Legolas cardboard cut-out and hid it. She sent me a ransome note in the mail asking for $20 I didnt know who it was at first but then I found it hidden under her mattress! I was so mad at her!

Amarantha_Daisy 12-28-2003 02:48 PM

*squee*

Well, it's not Aragorn, but...I just got an Eowyn cut-out! She's holding a sword and is wearing her Rohan armor. Grr! *hugs cut-out* She's so pretty...and she's standing in the corner of my room, guarding my closet and my laundry basket against orcs. Argh! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
