Buying LOTR stuff - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A lot of the knickknacks are adorable but I try to restrain myself since there's not really much to do with them; the Elven brooches and necklaces are lovely, but wearing jewelry (except for the wedding ring) irritates me - I'm always playing with it and poor Arwen's necklace would probably be snapped in half after a few days. We do however have the extra-special super-deluxe to-heck-with-the-groceries-this-week DVD set [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - as well as a full set of the books including the Hobbit, the Annotated Hobbit, HoME...lots of stuff. As well as an LOTR 2001 outsized calendar which I hang at work.

And to resurrect an earlier topic on the thread very briefly - Gollum as the Fool is REALLY wrong. For me, the perfect place for him would the Moon card, which is much more sinister; he could be crouching on the ground (the tower could be Minas Morgul, formerly Minas Ithil) looking up at the changing moon. I wonder if they had the Witch-King as Death? It wouldn't be quite right either, but it would be hard to resist.

Rae, I'm sensing something between you and Greycloak [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]...
