LotR Movies | Lord of the Rings & Tolkien News - TheOneRing.net Fan Community, since 1999

Do you use Facebook? Have you been looking for a really really cool Tolkien themed image to use as your timeline cover photo? Well…we are too! Since TheOneRing.net is in a unique position to reach out to thousands of creative Tolkien fans from all over the world, we thought it might be a novel idea to use that opportunity and create a comprehensive Tolkien themed Facebook cover photo gallery. After we have compiled all of the photos, we’ll publish them as a photo album on our Facebook page, which currently has over 50,000 fans! It is a great opportunity to get your name and talents out in front of the entire community. If you are interested in creating a cover photo, details will be posted below on this article. If there are any businesses out there that want to offer up a prize for the most popular photo, just contact us! UPDATE – Wow, what a great response so far! We’ve already got a gallery going on Facebook using your submissions. [Cover Photo Gallery]

TORn Message Board Member DanielLB has discovered a blogger (DarkJackal) who has a very high resolution of Bilbo reading his contract from the Dwarves. DarkJackal’s effort to decipher the words on that contract is truly amazing, and she invites others to help fill in the missing pieces. Have a look at this treasure and join in on the discussion!

Saturday night via email Gentle Giant announced the first bust from The Hobbit if you sign up for their 2012 Premier Guild Memberships next week. The first character to be made into bust form will be the Dwarf Dwalin who joined Bilbo on the journey to the Lonely Mountain. The PGM program from Gentle Giant runs $60 and has many great things about it that allow collectors to get first cracks at must have items. So stay tuned to next week to get your PGM membership and a chance to add a Dwalin bust to your collection.

TheOneRing.net, along with 150 of our closest friends from the media and collector world, were granted access to a special Collector’s Party today at the International Toy Fare. Taking place at the Javits Center in New York City, this event showcased the entire 2012 line-up for LEGO, including their newly announced Marvel, DC and, of course, Lord of the Rings licenses. All we can tell you is…prepare for a hit on your bank account. Not because of cost, but simply because of the depth and breadth of the collection for Tolkien fans. Even more exciting…The Hobbit LEGOs have yet to be revealed!! Since we are reporting from NYC with limited time, I’m attaching the LEGO gallery below, and leaving you with some quick info. I’ll post a full report on each set later this week.

The Battle of Helm’s Deep and Attach at Weatherop sets mark the first time LEGO has created an articulated horse!
These sets will start hitting stores in June 2012
Hobbit sets/info will start hitting in the Fall with expected release of Nov/Dec 2012
Shelob Attacks is the first spider LEGO to feature a web function.

View the gallery after the break!
