The Collection Grows

[Gorwingel]

and I found a poseable Gollum on clearance for $1.34 at Target, so I figured I could afford him.

Oh yes, the Target down here currently has so many Gollum figures it is crazy (I think they had about 50 and they were all on serious discount). In additon the only other figure they had was Aragorn in his Gondorian armor (they had a much, much smaller selection of him, but he was still on discount).

I still have gotten basically nothing recently. I am very much getting into the cheap future college student state of mind right now

Gollum? Give me a poseable Sam/Frodo (Sam alone or Sam AND Frodo...) any day. Of course if I did have a Gollum, I could use the Sam in Moria action figure to whack him over the head with the frying pan....(sorry, just not a Gollum fan).

Today in the mail I recieved the Karl Urban/Eomer autographed pic I'm giving for a gift (and Miss Lynn, if you read this and figure out who it's for, PUH-LEEEZE don't tell her?

I finally got a Sting. Well, sort of, it's just a sword that I will call Sting until I get the toy version of it. Anyway, I recently bought a "Sultan's Sabre" (machette looking thing) for a dance show I'm in. (I play the part of "Mr. Shmee" in Peter Pan.) And since I named my broken musketeer sword "Narsil" my pirate sword will be "Sting" until further notice.

Cool, Morai! Whatever works! Awful shame our collecting has to be hindered by this money thing....

Got the autographed pic of Karl Urban/Eomer the other day. The gal to whom it will be a gift will not get it 'til December, when her birthday is, but I have a few other things to send her, too, and if I "run into" more so to speak, she's going to get a whopping package of goodies come December. (I just LOVE doin' stuff like that. )

Haven't recieved my L'il Mr. Wood pic yet, but again, it IS comin' from Austrailia, and I've had the experience before that things take a bit of time to get from there to here....

Some....stuff

Samwise: She won't find out from me.


Not much to add in the collection department. I had to have dental work done also...I needed a new computer...and my clothes dryer went to that big laundromat in the sky a couple of weeks ago. I really dislike having to spend money on these inconsequential things (well, maybe not the computer) instead of my collection. My Arwen coronation banner has still not come...apparently there's a delay with the manufacturer. But I got the Rotk game for pc, and a few new figures:

• Gondorian soldier on horseback (3-inch)
  King Theoden on horseback (3-inch)
  Éomer on horseback (3-inch)
  Rohirrim on horseback (3-inch)
  King of the Dead (6-inch) **he glows in the dark**
  Merry in armour (6-inch) ** really 4 1/2 inches**
  Ringwraith on horseback (3-inch) **I had to get him--I only had 8 ringwraiths and I needed 9**

I also hung my Aragorn banner and mounted Andúril next to it; bought frames and hung my large TTT poster and RotK poster; and mounted my small Trilogy poster from my 3rd viewing of RotK.

So, Alatariel, when do we get to see a picture of your collection?

Nine ringwraiths... brrr.

[Samwise]

Thank you much, Miss Lynn. Didn't figure you really WOULD say anything, but for some wierd reason a person always feels like they have to say that "Please don't tell!" stuff.

Oooh....I have one Ringwraith mini and that's enough. As stated on another page, I haven't let it out of the box. Unfortunately, Sam and Frodo are in there WITH it, but they're both armed....

If I ever DO take it out, I'll stick it over by my slightly larger "Sam in Moria" figure (armed with both Barrowblade and frying pan) or even better, my 9-inch Polyston Sam and Bill figure.

*CRUNCH*
Sam: Oops. Sorry 'bout that. Ya gotta watch where your goin', Bill...

My dental work begins at 8:30 this morning, which means I've got to get off of here and get going.....x_x

Cute new avatar, Miss Helen. The kids at work were watching the 2nd Lilo and Stitch movie the other day....

Yeah, I probably do have enough money for a light up toy verion. It's just that I've been really needing to get some pics developed. So I'm putting my "Sting" on hold. Hmm, my temporary subsitute is going to be covered in glitter for the show. I wonder if they could use light blue glitter? (I can hope anyway )

[Gorwingel]

Gosh Alatáriël, I am so amazed by the scope of your collection.

Are you sure that you don't own everything? and In addition I just have to ask... How many rooms could the collection fill? (It sounds like it's all over the house, but if you had to put it is one room, how much of it would it fill?)

It sounds so cool though. Somedays I do wish I would have bought the action figures, and of course the Flame of the West itself, or Narsil reforged (can't spell the name, don't have book nearby). I think someday I will buy those knives of Legolas (they are awfully beautiful), and someday, far, far, far in the future I will most definitely get the LOTR Pinball machine

In the words of Gollum, it is my preciousses, and I must have it

Helen: Well, it just so happens...

contest pics

Entry #3 is mine, but please feel free to vote for the entry you like the best (although I could really use one of those gift certificates!!!)

So now I'll have an 8x10 Frodo to go with my 8x10 Sam. Just no separating those two...not if I have anything to say about it....

(Got to find a Frodo Toy Biz figure to go with my Sam in Moria....)

Stacey: You know there's just no separating those two...

Gorwingel: Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to own everything. I do have stuff scattered through about 4 rooms, although I could probably fit it all in one room. Andúril is hanging on my living room wall, along with Aragorn's banner (see pic link above). The knives of Legolas are currently on backorder and probably will be for a few months...I hear United Cutlery has approximately 10,000 backorders from dealers to fill.

I, too, feel like Gollum when I see something new -- we wants it, preciouss, yess, we wants it...we needs it...we mussst have it!!
