Ringer Spy Frodo’s Girl writes: I was walking by Dymocks on Lambton Quay the other day and noticed that they changed the armour in the window from Elvish to Gondorian, so I tramped on back with my camera today and took a few shots which I have included.
Dymocks now carries the full set of Sideshow Weta figures as well as most of the Noble Collection jewelry. And speaking of merchandise, though the LoTR exhibition at Te Papa closed last week (they needed some of those props for re-shoots) the exhibition store is still open with all the goodies (including the Sideshow figures and Noble Collection jewellry).
So if anyone in Wellington wants to look at the new Balrog statue or the Watcher, or any of the other amazing Sideshow figures, medallions, or the new weapon sets, stop into Te Papa or Dymocks.
Ringer Fan Diana writes that the Simpson’s spoofed Gollum on last evening’s episode in the USA. She was unsure if it was really Andy Serkis voicing the character, but wrote: He played a cowboy who gathered up the remains of a picnic at a Dude Ranch being visited by the Simpsons, scooping up all the trash into a sack, whispering ‘My preciousssssssss’ … N3M0 adds that as the credits rolled, Andy’s name did come up, so looks like it really was Andy on the Simpsons.
