Diamond Took writes in about the LOTR Noble Collection catalog. “It has most of the stuff we have seen on the ‘Net, with a few extra goodies, including extended jewelry lines (including ROTK jewelry that has not yet been seen in the films), some home decorations a la Middle-earth, and some interesting statuary. There are swords, letter openers, staffs, the ultimate chess set, and more. Keep an eye on your mailboxes!”
