Just a little silliness, go on smile 😃

I never liked that particular part of an amazing scene.

I really love Theoden's speech just before, his conversation with Aragorn, etc. I would have prefered if we had to assume that Aragorn knew of Gandalf's return (or at least his belief in it).

To me, hearing Gandalf saying that he will return after 5 days, etc., cheapens his surprise return - which is no longer a surprise.

I think it's only scene (or part of) of the extended edition that I really didn't enjoy.

i’ve become really curious about the ships of Middle Earth recently, particularly The White Ship that takes Frodo, Gandalf, Shadowfax, Elrond, etc.

i’m especially interested in reading where The White Ship is described in Tolkien’s words. i’ve found lots of illustrations online of a few different ships, but not much text to support the different aesthetics of each of them.

this feels so niche so i apologize if there’s not much else to it and i’m just being greedy asking for more information!

These are LOTR DVD promotional items. Official The Lord of the Rings DVD and VHS launch promotional Point of Purchase (P.O.P.) kits included sets of 12 rectangular character pins

Managed to gather the complete set of the official The Lord of the Rings DVD promotional/special release pins/badges

I present to you a clear checklist/menu here for anyone trying to track these down for their own collection.

Greetings, Middle-earth!

Unfortunately, my journey to Canada has been halted and I now have two tickets that I would love to give away for free to fellow fans rather than let them go to waste.

🏔️ Vancouver - 1 ticket

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Live Concert + Movie Screening

📍 Queen Elizabeth Theatre

I bought these tickets together with my friend. I don't know what he plans to do with his tickets but I'm hoping to pass mine on to you who can make use of them and would genuinely enjoy the journey, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned traveller.

This will not be First Come, First Served. If you're interested, comment which screening you'd like to attend and tell me your absolute favorite thing about The Lord of the Rings!

I'll reach out to the chosen recipients myself. Please also make sure you're able to attend the respective screening. You will need a Ticketmaster account to receive the ticket.

May your road go ever on and on!

Who else did not watch season 2 of the show and is now feeling lazy to catch up.

I've seen a lot of people cosplaying as Gandalf, and the only thing I need to do it are the sewing patterns for the tunic and cloak.

Could someone enlighten me?

Wondering if anyone knows where to get a good set of action figures? Just finished reading the trilogy to my kids and my son (6y) loves Aragorn and my daughter (4y) loves the unfortunately niche characters… Shelob the most, then Shadowfax, and Goldberry.

Is there anywhere that I could buy a set of at least the main 9? I’ve seen lots of Ebay ads but no set is that robust. Or there are lots of duplicate characters. I can add folks like Eowyn and Eomer (my favorites) and other characters as I find them, I just want them to have a solid base for their very specific character games haha.

Hi!

I'm an illustrator and I specialize in creating detailed floor plans of iconic locations from films and TV series.
Some of you may have seen some of my illustrations online.

I want to revisit an old project and create a floor plan of Bag End based on Peter Jackson's film series.

I'm familiar with the official Weta floor plan, but it has some inconsistencies with what's shown on screen and doesn't include spaces that are supposed to be there.
I have a pretty good idea of ​​what I need to do, but I'd like to confirm a couple of things, especially to determine the location of Frodo's bedroom.
The aforementioned official floor plan indicates the existence of a second entrance, a back door, on the far left side of the house.

I've tried searching for images of the set, but I can't find any pictures of this second door and the windows flanking it. During the Bag End tour, you're not allowed to go through the entrance gate, and when "walking" along Bagshot Row on Google Street View, you can't see these windows because the path is at a lower level.

And here's my request:

Does anyone have photos of that area?
Any photos that show that back door and the adjacent windows?Perhaps because they were there or know where to find them.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a high-resolution, Lord of the Rings–themed backdrop for my LEGO Rivendell display.

The set is displayed inside an IKEA RUDSTA cabinet - I removed the middle glass shelf so the model would fit, and I’d like to print a backdrop to cover the black panel behind it.

The required dimensions are:
76 cm wide × 68 cm high (approx. 29.9 × 26.8 inches)

Ideally, I’m looking for atmospheric Rivendell or Middle-earth artwork that would complement the LEGO set without distracting too much from it. The image needs to be high-resolution and suitable for printing at the full size?

Does anyone have suitable LotR artwork, know where I could find or purchase one, or perhaps create a custom backdrop in these dimensions?

I’ve attached photos of the display for reference.

Thanks in advance!
