For Christmas I got some LOTR action figures, you know the ones I'm talking about (I got the gollum, aragorn and brego, merry and an orc,) and the LOTR monopoly game...
Also for my last birthday I got the Gandalf action figure and the LOTR Risk game and the FOTR cd cardz, and the FOTR movie soundtrack... LOTR presents rock!!!

Ah, I knew we had a thread on this topic somewhere in the depths of the forum! I'd like to add three audio versions of Tolkien's works that I got for Christmas this year:
The Hobbit, LotR, and Tales of the Perilous Realm, all in English, the BBC productions! I very much look forward to listening.

nothing LOTR, but enough money to be able to purchase LOTR stuff myself

Strangely, no Tolkien for me this year because we have already got just about everything (sounds like a boast but it actually feels quite sad that there's not much to hunt down apart from special editions etc) but I did find a copy of Tolkien Studies 3 for davem, and also an old collected William Morris (not Tolkien, but of interest to fans!) in an antiquarian bookshop by York Minster.

Well, I finally got hold of The Road to Middle Earth by Tom Shippey. I've been constantly borrowing one from the Library for a while, so it was nice to actually get one.
Also, I got The Two Towers Complete Recordings. Is good!  I didn't really get it this year, but I have The Battle for Middle Earth for the PC. I've not been able to play it until this Christmas when we at last got a computer that it would work on. Despite the fact that I was constantly saying how much this probably isn't what Tolkien had in mind, I found myself playing it for five hours straight.

I got the ROTK movie, EE. Now I can see what all this Witch-King fighting Gandalf nonsense is about. Nothing Tolkien other than that, but I think I'll buy a certain couple of miniaturized Gondorians.

I guess I could count my musical ticket .... and I was tempted to spend some of my present money on LOTR monopoly but noone would play with me I'm sure .....
Oh the radio version is wonderful ... maybe I'll do that on New Year's Day Lal ..play it all through... I wore out my original tape of the incidental music so I had to buy the Children's edition of the tapes to get it again (with Oz, wine buff Clark, singing Sam's songs as well as the Rohan laments (which were sung by Bill Nighy in the broadcasts). The Counter tenor soloist is quite well known as a member of the Hilliard Ensemble which you may have heard of Esty, since you are musical.
