LOTR Monopoly/Trivial Pursuit Info! - Xoanon @ 22:09 PST

Garfeimao writes: I was able to pick up both the new Lord of the Rings Trilogy edition of Monopoly, and the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy Trivial Pursuit today. I decided not to delve too deeply into the Trivial Pursuit game so as to remain a little less spoiled for ROTK. It appears to be both book and film trivia, so I'll just wait until December to get into it.

Anyhow, the real surprise to these stunning games was the contest they will soon be running. The game doesn't officially start until November 2, 2003, but that doesn't mean you can't get out there and buy the games now. They are giving away 1 of 8 different prop swords from the films. I've enclosed pictures of the front and back of the contest information sheet, so you can see for yourself what I'm talking about.

The list of prop weapons include:

The Sword of Aragorn "Strider Sword"
The Sword of Gandalf "Glamdring"
The Axe of Gimli
The Bow of Legolas
The Sword of Frodo "Sting"
The Sword of Eowyn (this would be perfect for my
Dernhelm costume)
The Sword of Theoden
The Sword of Faramir

I got two games, and therefore have two contest entry forms, but purchase is not necessary, you can get a free entry code by mailing an SASE to:
