Anyhow, the Oct/Nov issue has an inter view with PJ, an excerpt from one of the upcoming movie book companions and a contest wtih ten questions which will put the contestant in the drawing for Sideshow Weta Statues, or a set of Games Workshop miniatures from their up coming games. I looked for a link on the B&N site and could not find one and the mag has no web referance address.

TORn Staffer Gandalf noticed that those talented folks at Sideshow have posted the next wave of Lord of the Rings figurines, busts and helms on their site and it seems every time they show us something new they outdo themselves. Pre-orders begin now, but it won’t be until December ’till you get your Sam & Bill or Cleaved Orc figurines. [More]
