The Collection Grows

[Samwise]

There's one other purchase I'm making that I am "blaming" on Samwise!
I always remember how she talked about getting the statue of Sam and Bill the Pony. My local fantasy store had just one left..... So now guess who has a Sam statue on layaway! I figured, if there was one character I wanted to remember from the movies just as he was played, it would be Sam. (I am fascinated by book Frodo, but Elijah Wood's Frodo, although good, just wasn't the same.)

Hm...should I head for the hills, or is that sort of a thankyou? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Are you saying you got Sam and Bill, or just Sam? My Sam and Bill just melted my heart when I saw it at Sideshow Toy's website...I'm afraid my Bill has a little scratch on his "buisness end" from my pushing him a little too far back into the "wood" where they reside, and some of the paint may have come off the top of Sam's head from my...yes, kissing the top of his head. My Frodo is in pristine condition, but he hasn't been "loved" so much.

Yesterday I recieved my "surprise" gift: LOL...an LOTR ROTK 2004 calendar! I think I may have posted it here or in the "LOTR Christmas Presents: Post Here" thread, but (at the risk of repeating myself) my mother, grandmother and I went into a store a few weeks ago, and I chose a calendar that showcased my Sam as much as possible, then proceeded to leave the store so that my mother could buy it "without my seeing!"

I was surprised, however, pleasantly, because my mother did not buy the little 5x5 calendar we were looking at, but the regular-sized wall version! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
