I sure hope you win! I'm still bidding on a couple of things that have about a day to go. One is like a 'suncatcher' ornament for a car's rearview mirror, with an exceptionally attractive picture of Elijah.

Wouldn't that be dangerous!? An attractive picture of Elijah might be distracting.

Well...I hope you win anyway.

Samwise, I would bid on that Teddy bear, but alas...two things are working against it:

1) I have WAY too many stuffed animals already
2) There happens to be a psycotic white and orange cat that invades my room and attacks some of my teddies.

Thank you for looking, anyway, Morai.

I think she's right, Miss Lynn....DON'T put that suncatcher in your car if you win it...

Sun catcher? There's a new one. Of course if it's got Elijah on it, Lynn Lossëhelin has to have it.

It's too true, Stacey! I'm afraid I just can't resist that blue-eyed boy...

It could be hazardous, Morai, but it's a risk I'm willing to take!!

I'd have to put him in my car, Stacey...he'd be lonely if I left him at home by himself. Wait...I have an idea!! I have to wear a name badge with my photo on it at work--I'll put this on the lanyard with my badge so I can see it all during the day.

BTW, I received Avalon yesterday and Paradise today! Wooohooo!!

The other day I recieved word that they're on their way....

Your cards were shipped out on June 16. I usually ask US customers to wait a full 1-3 weeks for delivery as sometimes there are
delays at the border. If you still haven't received your cards by this
Wednesday (July 7), which is a full 3 weeks, please contact me as soon as
possible.

Looking forward to it, as there are some in this lot I don't have....

My Sam cards!! A couple of them I already have, but this is the line up....

Sam, Son of Hamfast
The pic is of him as we first see him in FOTR scoping out Rosie, just before she makes eye contact with him.
The line is: "Oh, I've never held a girl's hand before...."
Stout and Sturdy
Pic is of Sam, fists balled, with Merry and Pippin behind him when they follow Strider up to where he's taken Frodo at Butterbur's.
The line is: "You have a stout heart, little Hobbit, but your courage alone will not save you. "
Sam, Proper Poet
The pic of course is from the movie...can't tell the scene, but Sam looks like he's thinking "Yeah, right" to one of Gollum's lines
The line is from the book: "First he was a conspirator, now he's a jester. He'll end up by bcoming a wizard--or a warrior! "
Sam, Nice Sensible Hobbit
Pic: Again, Sam looking t'd off at Gollum.
Line is: "Trust Smeagol now? Very, very good. "
Rare Good Ballast
Sam with the two coneys in his hands that Gollum/Smeagol has gotten, giving S/G the line, "What a hobbit needs with coney...is some herbs and roots, especially taters--not to mention bread. "
Sam, Samwise the Brave
Sam looking over Frodo's shoulder, the look on his face like he's first seen the Oliphaunt. The line reads: "Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam..."
and
Seven We Had
Frodo and Sam in the hands of Faramir's men, Frodo with that sad, "Don't hurt me." look on his face, and Sam with a "You hurt him and I'll have your hide." look on his. The line reads: "One we lost at Moria, the others we left at Parth Galen above Rauros..."

...and now I must be off to leave positive feed back for the seller!

Glad you got your cards, Stacey (and even gladder that they weren't all orcs)!

I got all my stuff from ebay, finally. I have to say that the 'suncatchers' look really, really fabulous! I wound up getting two, since I couldn't decide which picture I liked the best. So now, one hangs from the rear view mirror in my car, and one hangs from my name badge at work. Also, there's a set of 151 film cells from FotR that are all Frodo & all close-up. Extremely cool!! Now I just have to figure out a good way to display them. And an 8 figure set "Ambush at Weathertop" with Strider, Frodo & Sam, and 5 ringwraiths (3-inch). Plus the videos (Paradise, Avalon, Oliver Twist, and The War).

That may be it for me for a while (I need to let my bank account build back up).

Samwise · 07-10-2004, 08:11 PM

Well, Miss Lynn, the reason why THOSE cards weren't all Orcs is 'cause they were advertised as "Lot of 7 Sam Cards"

Had to have those. It's the sealed ones I always wonder about.

I know what you mean about ebay. Got to stay away from it myself.

Case in point:

Lynn has seen it, but for the rest of you, I recently won THIS interesting item...not sure where I'll put it, problably will stick it in the album with my cards, pics, and articles, but it was so unique and no one else had bid on it, so...

STILL trying to get a BK Frodo to go with my BK Sam....can't have one without the other....
