Alatįriėl, I went and looked, but unfortunately, I can't (well, in one case prefer not to) use the payment methods they have listed there--plus I'm not too clear on laws about owning a *sharp* sword. As I stated above, though, I will soon earn myself a play one. (Gotta make a trip to either S. CA or Texas so I can actually have someone to "do battle" with---or at least battle against imaginary orcs with.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No, you'll never make it through an airport with sting in your luggage.
I had a friend bring rolls of gift wrap through the airport and they searched all her luggage- thought it was c-4 plastic explosives!

Miss Rae, I've never flown a commercial airline in my life, don't intend to start now, and there are other ways to get places. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well I attended a RingCon this weekend in Tacoma, Washington. Where I had the pleasure to meet Craig Parker (aka Haldir), and gosh was he a hoot. I didn't get an autograph (I was feeling cheap) but I did get a photo, and additonally I got a Gandalf poster in a trivia contest (even though I didn't win, the other guy I was going against already had the poster). So I had a rather fun time. My next major LOTR related purchase I am going to make is probably the upcoming ROTK video game. I just saw an ad for it today, and it comes out on the 6th of November, so soon. We have TTT game, and we absolutely love it, so we have to get this one. I am still thinking about the Pinball machine though, I am going to get that Pinball, someday [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

On the matter of seamstress' work, I'll cut out the pattern and cloth, but I get my mother to put it all together. She just made a beautifully cloak for me. It looks like a bit of elvish work, what with its silvery grey hood tie that looks like a bit of Lorien rope. Unfortunately, I can't hide in my hood and the cloak is a bit long. Even I, a hobbit that near matches old Bullroarer Took himself, can't avoid tripping on it now and again.
I recently bought a beard, wig, and eyebrow hair for when I perform as Gandalf in my drama club's fall play(The Hobbit). Itchy, but not too itchy. I did scare my cat in a test run. I've gotten too many action figures to name since my last post, but I'm glad to say that I finally found FotR Moria Sam. Thought I'd NEVER find him! There was something else too... Oh yes! I FINALLY found an LotR poster. Aragorn, RotK. I must say, a larger than life portrait of the rightful king of Gondor above my headboard is not what I expected, but I am very pleased all the same. By the way, Raefindel, I like that cloak you pictured above!

Thank You Lily, Your cloak sound really nice. You should have someone take your pic and have it posted.
I actually tried to sell that cloak on e-bay but I think it is too modern-looking what with the printed fabric. Either that or there just aren't that many short Elves around these parts.

Samwise: I've become addicted to these action figures. I found a second 'Éowyn as Dernhelm' and 'Aragorn in Gondorian armor' at Elfmart Saturday. They look great on display with the others. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
For all you other action figure addicts, I found a website that lists all the Toybiz action figures for LotR here. Pretty cool! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Plus...an action figure storybook where scenes from the films are re-enacted with action figures.

Hmmm.... my LotR collection is:
1) The paperback edition of the LotR trilogy (with two copies of RotK, bought just because they had Aragorn on the cover) 2) The red leather-bound collector's edition of LotR 3) The Silmarillion (Second Edition) 4) Unfinished Tales 5) The HoME series 6) The Argonath Poster and the TTT Poster of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli 7) A life-size cardboard cutout of Aragorn (ordered from tolkientown.com) 8) Dozens of newspaper articles on Middle-earth 9) A very Elvish door-hanging with a design of golden leaves and fruit coming off of golden vines 10) Various gilded wooden baskets and such scattered around my room, giving it a very Finwe/Sun King effect. 11) My collection of charms from the LotR bookmarks 12) My five One Rings (now there's an oxymoron, for you!) 13) My Ring of Barahir (that I also got off of tolkientown.com) 14) My very Elvish cloak made out of black, panne velvet and matching elbow-length gloves 15) Other assorted Elven clothes 16) Lastly, and most importantly, my memories!!!!!!

Okay, I was baaaad!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I went back to ebay (I gotta stop going there). This time I got 2 sets of cards (1 from Fellowship & 1 from TTT), plus a copy of the fan club magazine with Éomer on the cover. Still waiting on Andśril to be delivered...maybe this week.

ok, mine is a small collection compared to some of y'all's, but it's growing.
*FotR EE dvd *LotR trilogy - the set with Elijah Wood as Frodo on FotR, OB as Legolas on TTT, and Viggo as Aragorn on RotK. I want to get the nice, pretty hardcover set illustrated by Alan Lee. I go look at it every time I go to the mall. *countless pics and sounds downloaded on my computer *2 7up cans with Frodo *a TTT poster in the mail on the way to me right now *The Silm *The Hobbit *a very Elvish looking journal *a bracelet my friend made me with my name on it in Elvish *a pendant that I say contains a little bit of the light of Earendil... or sometimes its Arwen's pendent... whatever I feel like calling it at the time. It looks elvish. * A grey elven cloak * purple velvety material to make a purple elven cloak *pattern to make elven dress *pattern to make my hobbit costume *TTT soundtrack *a recurve bow that I imagine is elven

As some of you know, tomorrow is the day upon which my Hobbit self celebrates my coming of age! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, I have recieved one birthday "card" from one of the Barrowdowns' resident Elves, made up of page-a-day calendar pages, seven of which feature my fave little Hobbit, SAM!!!(ALA Sean Astin [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]). I do not know (sort of doubt, since my family "dosen't get" LOTR) if I will be recieving anything to add to my collection tomorrow, but I did mention a couple of LOTR-related items that I didn't think would get me too much of the way of odd looks,(:eek [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] so who knows? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] {EDIT} Hm. The date above this post says it's ALREADY the Elventh, though here in CA it's not. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] So, somewhere, it's ALREADY my birthday.....

Thank you kindly for the well wishes, Miss Liriodendron. As far as LOTR related goodies...
Sigh. Nope. Not one little Hobbit-sized thing. Oh, well. I had a very lovely birthday regardless. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Guess I'll just have to get LOTR stuff on my own.... Well....I take that back--I recieved this before my birthday, but.... From my favorite Elf, Raefindel the Red-Haired, I recieved a wonderful "birthday card" made from LOTR page-a-day calendar pages and featuring my fave little Hobbit (and on occasion some freinds) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Each page was personally captioned by the dear Elf lady. So, I can't say I really recieved NOTHING LOTR, just not from my immediate family. [ November 12, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

Arwen1858: is that recurve bow something that you shoot, or do you just hang it on your wall...?
My longbow is a "Mirkwood" black with silver-painted design. Nice and light, 30# draw weight and 28# draw length, and a whopping 6' long... I'm new to longbow, and don't have much holding power yet! Now I need a pair of white long-knives. And a grey/green cloak. In terms of On-The-Shelf: In addition to one of the newer boxed sets, I recently added the "No Admittance except on Party Business" bookends. They're next to my Argonath bookends. And I coudn't resist the $2.00 Legolas figurine from Barnes & Noble... looks kinda cute across from my Bag-End keychain... I'm waiting for the TTT Collector's edition in the mail. And I'm hoping for a complete set of the Inglis CDs.... (hope hope hope) I rearranged my bookshelves, and Tolkien books now take up six shelves. How's this for addiction? I have... (1, 2, 3, 4...) twenty-two copies of the Trilogy on my shelves plus one that is out on loan to my sister. So that's twenty-three copies all told.... mostly just paperbacks! And I **STILL** haven't completed my set of HoME. No wonder my husband thinks I've completely and utterly lost it.

Oh, my....Miss Helen, you shoot?
*reminds self not to get on either Miss Lynn or Miss Helen's bad sides....* A bow is something I do not have in my collection (working on Sting, first) but...perhaps one of these days. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I do shoot my bow! I don't practice as often as I should, but one of the goals I want to work on starting next week is to practice every day. My bow is black on the front and back, and light brown on the sides, the natural color of the wood. It pulls 30#, 28" draw, and 60" long. My daddy shoots a longbow, but for some reason I favor recurves. When I got my bow, it was hardto pull, but after a couple of days, it was no problem. I haven't been practicing, though, so I need to work the muscles up again, and I imagine they'll be pretty sore for the next couple weeks as I start shooting more! I would also love a couple of knives like Legolas'! I have a flipblade I named Sting, which I carry everywhere, so I already have a knife. My parents might not mind too much if I wanted something a little bigger... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I bought the most beautiful sword this summer that looks extremely Elvish (albeit a bit on the scrawny side) and I carted it around on my shoulder all day at my school's Renaissance Festival. It was so cool, about 50 people came up to me and asked me if I was either an Elf or a Ranger. I just preened! Of course then I proceeded to get challenged by a six-foot-something guy wearing extremely thick cardboard armor, with an extremely huge wooden sword. Needless to say, I didn't quite win that battle, but I did slice his hauberk off! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thank you, Gorwingel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I'm curious, since Sting has been my focus and I'm not farmiliar with Elvish weaponry, what is meant when you say "white" knives? Is it the color of the metal? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, since I have an 8-year-old brother and a 2-year-old brother at home, I can't buy any more weapons right now. I have to wait until college before splurging. I can just see it.
"Mom, Dad, I... um.... kinda need a wee bit more money." "What did you do with the money that we gave you?????" "I...umm.... spent it... on... um.... SWORDS!!!!!!"
