For those who missed it: this past weekend the biggest Lord of the Rings-convention up to date, RingCon 2002, took place in Germany, and here are some more reports and pictures!

You can look at some nice pictures of the event here, but keep in mind they are sometimes a bit ‘blurry’. Thanks to TarTelperien for taking and uploading these!

Rafer emailed me again saying she nowbegan transcribing parts of the panel-sessions that took place and uploading some pictures. I don’t know how far she is at the moment but yesterday she had a fair bit up from the Mark Ferguson panel on friday. Her website can be found here!

And another great report with pictures can be found here and was written by fozzer!

Anyways, I’m here with some scans of the LOTR TTT Coin set. I noticed you already had the ones from last year scanned, but whoever scanned them didn’t scan the cute stickers that come with them.

So I’m sending you scans of the TTT Coins, the stickers from that set, the stickers from the FOTR set, and an example of the Back of the coin (which is the same for both sets) that has ‘One ring to rule them all’ script written on it.

Here’s a link to where you can buy the Coin set of:
