The Collection Grows

[Sleeping Beauty]

Lord of the Rings Monopoly? I need to see that. That was a very nice gift. What is Boardwalk, I wonder...? Anyways, I am the proud owner of a few things. I said I didn't want to bite into the whole marketing stuff, but ah well. I have the one ring that came out with the Fellowship, the Frodo goblet from BK, and the toy from the meal. Also the little red bookmark with the ring poem and the nine walkers on the bottom. I have three action figures, one from each movie. I have Frodo, Legolas, and Aragorn. I want to add more and get the fellowship, but we'll see. I had the Frodo/Sam boat set, but I gave it to my friend as a Christmas gift. I bought the paperback set with the movie pics on them that a local bookstore was selling. I knew the minute some people would see the movies they would want to read it. And guess who is the handy fantasy-type person is nearby? Luckily, all was return(whew), and now I have paperbacks handy just in case. Somone got my Sting for my birthday, but it's an off-the-brand model. Ah well, made for a good substitution for the real thing at a ren faire I went to last year. The kids there thought it was cool. It was a nice feeling to be recognized as a hobbit. I also have all the editions of the movies, and the three soundtracks. The most amusing thing in my (growing) collection is the Lord of the Rings valentines they came out with this year and the last. I still crack up at Frodo's "Hope your valentine's rings true" Oh yeah, don't want to forget the 1, 2, 3, 4.....8 LOTR posters I have collected. I'm a sucker for pretty images.....*stares at her angsty Frodo poster*
