The Collection Grows

[Samwise]

Cross-stitch pattern? What cross-stitch pattern? I want to see!

I finally got my LOTR TCG cards today, 1 Realms of the Elf-Lords, 1 TTT, 1 ROTK, and 3 Fellowship.

The Two Towers

• Place: Eastemnet Gullies
• Dunlending Arsonist
• Ugluk (yeeccchh)
• Mahur (double yeeccchh--orcs look even worse in foil)
• Gandalf the White Wizard (finally--a GOOD guy!)
• Uruk pursuer
• War and Valor (pic of Boromir)
• Southron Soldier
• Sword of Rohan
• Kill Them Now (more yucky Uruk)
• Forth Eorlingas! (pic of Theoden)

Realms of the Elf Lords

• Caras Galadhon (purdy)
• Isengard Retainer (what IS with all the ORCS???)
• Citadel of Minas Tirith
• Seek and Hide (Frodo and the Cave Troll--what is this doing in 'Realms of the Elf Lords?
• Isengard Axe (and nasssty Orc....)
• One of You Must Do This (Gandalf and Boromir going at it [with words] at the Council of Elrond)
• Fireworks(....Ooooh.....Quote from Samwise the Poet: "The finest rockets ever seen:/they burst in stars of blue and green...")
• *sigh* Orc Warrior....
• Old Noakes: Purveyor of Wisdoms (Noakes was my grandmother's maiden name: go figure)
• Coming for the Ring (can you guess? Yep--bunch of nasty Orcs)

What most of these have to do with "Realms of the Elf Lords" is beyond me....

• Peace of Mind (Pippin and Gandalf on the balcony at Minas Tirith--from the back, darn it! They can take so many pictures of ORC faces, but NO_OOO...)
• War long planned (pic of a spear-head)
