Sam wise is the man! I just loved the way he became such a hero in Return of the King. Astin deserved a nomination for ROTK!

All the hobbits rock! Merry, Pippin, Samwise and Frodo are awesome little hobbits. Basically everyone in the fellowship is awesome! I mean, you have these totally varied yet complex characters that really make this trilogy one of the best ever.

I go away for a few days and I come back and there's a LotRs thread. *dies* I am a HUGE fan of Tolkien. I read the book for the first time when I was 14..and I fell in love instantly. The movies are simply amazing and my fave movie(s) of all time. I'll list my stuff laters, when my head is less muddy. I don't have pics, yet. But I'm workin on it. Kudos on starting this thread. ;D

I didn't know all those action figures where out there! I invest in movie posters mostly.... I own Sting and I'm hoping to get the Phial of Galadridrial soon. I of course own the special extended edition DVD's, oh yeah, and I got all the puzzels. I adore puzzles, and I have the LOTR Esphira Globe. (it's really cool) I own a few calanders too. I would get more, but....... I have this condition............ it's pretty bad............ it's called....... pennypinchingitus. (penny-pinching-itus) It's very severe. Doctors say I may not make it through life if I'm not careful about what i cut back on! lol! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm an action figure-aholic. Got a whole load of Marvel Legends figures, some Alien and Predator stuff. And one of my prides and joy Lord of Darkness Legend figure. *swoon*
Some cool stuff you got there rogue24. The Phial of Galadriel looks stunning. I'd love to get Sting as well, I think if I could get all the swords I would. But it would cost thousands lol If I had to pick just 3 more. Eowyns sword, Boromirs and Anduril.
That's only about half- to 3 quarters of them. There's a few more I'd love to get, but they're rare and hard to find cheaply these days.

Aah King Elessar. Viggo was so amazing as Aragorn. I remember reading they had cast Stuart Townsend for the role but they realised they had seriously miscast. Getting Viggo in was a stroke of sheer genius. The whole cast was as perfect as I could have ever imagined. More pics. Theme: Eowyn. The last 3 thumbnails are probably one of my all time fave scenes in any movie ever. Amazing

I love that second pic of Eowyn! Viggo was the best person for Aragorn. And to think that he wouldn't have done it if his son hadn't said he should! I love those two pics..... Here is a banner I made myself of Eowyn.....
