I was actually on holiday in New York at the time, and having met Sala at Collectormania 4 this year, I felt it was my duty to pay him a visit while on foreign soil!
Sala, wonderful man that he is, actually recognised me, making my day! He was extremely generous with his time, and very happy to pose for yet another round of pictures.
Whilst at London Expo I asked Billy, Craig and Jorn to sign a stress cube that the Expo people were giving away free, on each side of which there were different words. Billy signed Confused, Jorn – surprised and Craig – stimulated. I had picked up a handful of spare ones with the hope of asking any future LotR actors to sign.
Sala oblijed willingly and deliberated for a rather long time, over anxious or excited finally settling on anxious!
I had a wonderful day and would like to thank Sala for being so pleasant and cheerful every time I have met him!

It has a few pictures which I havn’t seen before including a very scary looking red eyed orc. I have one complaint though on this calander – there are 3 pitures of orcs – not very easy on the eyes and NO PICTURE OF MERRY!
I was outraged to find out that half of the main chracters arn’t even there. But I can forgive – this calander is beautifully made with 2 pictures for every month. There are quite a few new pics below so if you want to wait and have a surprise don’t look.
