Coolness from the New Line Shop - Calisuri @ 13:55 PST
I just went to get the mail, and much to my surprise, my shipment from the Official New Line Shop had arrived!

As I went through some of the stuff in the package (I'll post images of the Limited Press Booklet a little later today) I found something pretty cool: A letter from Peter Jackson! It is an authorized copy of the original (I initially thought it was REAL thats how nice it is) with a nice New Line hologram attached to it to show its official.

The moral of this story is that with ever purchase of the LOTR books or the audio books from the Official New Line Shop you get one of these beautiful letters! (NOTE: not with all products, just the books or audio books)

Now I just need to find something to frame it in...

LOTR Ornaments - Xoanon @ 11:07 PST
Ringer Spy Ghan-buri-Ghan sends along these great scans, check them out!

I just got the Department56 (makers of those Snow Villiage houses and stuff) midyear introductions catalog and lo and behold, two whole pages of LOTR christmas tree ornaments and figurines and such! I checked their website and none of these products are online yet, so they must be VERY new. I personally can't wait to have Saruman hanging from my Christmas tree ;)

Diamond Comic Distributors Inc is selling STING! Yes, a replica of THE Sting from the movies. Here is the description:

"This detailed sword — carried by Bilbo and Frodo Baggins in all three films of the Lord of the Rings trilogy — is presented with a hardwood wall display plaque and a Certificate of Authenticity. With a 14" blade length, the sword’s handle has a hardwood handgrip with a metallic leaf design. A solid metal guard and pommel displays a metallic leaf design."

SHOP: Bakshi DVD at Amazon.co.uk - Calisuri @ 11:15 PST

[ Click to Buy ]

Amazon.co.uk has a pre-order link for the Ralph Bakshi LOTR DVD to be released Nov 26th 2001. I'm not a DVD expert, but this particular DVD says it is Region 2 encoding for Europe, Middle East and Japan only. I would expect the US will see a Region 1 pre-order at Amazon.com in the near future for this DVD and the two Rankin/Bass films. [More]

Tolkien Posters for Sale - Xoanon @ 09:35 PST
From: Michael

I was in Borders bookshop on Charing Cross Road in London (UK) last night and by the queue for the tills was a tub full of posters just like the ones in cinemas but maybe a bit smaller. Obviously I bought one so can check on the exact size if you want. Anyway they were pretty prominent, official New Line stuff and only £3.99!
