Woolworths Goes LOTR As Well - Xoanon @ 19:33 PST
From: James

I saw your articles on the WHSmiths LOTR stuff and thought I would write you about this. I just got a Woolworths Christmas Catalogue through the post (Woolworths is a British WalMart type store on a much smaller scale) and turned straight to the toys sections! Of course there was Frodo, Legolas, Gimili, Aragorn, Gandalf, Saruman, A Nazgul, Boromir and I think what must be Lurtz. I am sending a scan separately because I'm not sure it will work (I'm not the best with computers).

Just incase the scans don't get to you, I'll give a quick run down of what I see:

There are two stars saying NEW on two sets of pictures of different figures. The two largest are Frodo and Legolas ( I don't know if this is significant or not).

They are priced at £13.99 per twin pack...I guess that means you get two in one pack (duh).....and £7.99 for single figues (I'm working in pounds Sterling of course so I'm not sure what the $$$ would be [ probably cheaper than here cos everything is overpriced here]). There are two descriptions:

1. Lord of The Rings Twin Pack - Figures have unique action features. Age 5+ (...yay this includes me!)
2. Lord of The Rings Figure - 15cm fully poseable action figures. Age 5+.
