The talented Colleen Doran wrote to let us know that she posted to her blog about her newest sketch cards. In this series, Colleen did sketches of Sandro Kopp, Sean Bean, Karl Urban, and Elijah Wood. And I must say, I am a bit jealous of Sandro.

We mentioned last week that Sideshow Collectibles had previewed their latest Lord of the Rings Premium Format Figure – Aragorn. Well, as expected, this week they have started taking pre-orders for the exclusive edition of this figure. The exclusive, only available online via the SideshowCollectibles.com website, features an alternate interchangeable left hand clutching Aragorn’s hunting knife. We don’t expect the exclusive to last long, so if you are interested, jump on over to Sideshow’s website and place your pre-order. (Just a tip from us collectors – you don’t actually pay for the piece until it ships!) [Aragorn Premium Format Figure]
Crystal Goodbody sends this in: Here’s the latest on this, just received from Amazon.ca. I presume that the *ROTK Complete Recordings* will be available later, but this email certainly has me wondering. I would love to hear from you or on TORn as to what the situation is regarding other orders that haven’t been filled. Surely if there is sufficient demand, they can run off more of them??
“Hello from Amazon.ca. We’re sorry to report we won’t be able to obtain the following item from your order: Original Soundtrack (Artist) “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – The Complete Recordings [Import] [Soundtrack]” [Audio CD] Continue reading “More ‘ROTK: Complete Recordings’ Problems?”
On behalf of the staff of TheOneRing.net, we’d like to wish you all peace, health and love this holiday season. You may notice that our site has ‘re-skinned’ in time for the holiday with a ‘Letters from Father Christmas’ theme – inspired by the artwork of J.R.R. Tolkien. If you weren’t aware, starting in the early 1920s Tolkien responded to his children’s letters to Father Christmas with notes and drawings. He introduced the chores of packing the many packages, the mishaps of weather and the mischief of his faithful helper, North Polar Bear, to his sons and daughter. These letters are lovely reproduced in ‘Letters from Father Christmas,’ a wonderful little book published by Houghton Mifflin. Consider picking it up sometime if you have not already!

More than any other collectible company, Sideshow Collectibles seems to really want their collectors to know everything about the pieces they release. To that end, Sideshow Collectibles has posted a ‘Backstage Pass’ video highlighting the recently revealed ‘Gandalf vs Saruman: The Treachery of Saruman‘ polystone diorama. Besides showing some more detail shots of the piece, we also learn that this particular diorama is the largest diorama Sideshow has produced. Check out the video yourself at SideshowCollectibles.com.

Sideshow Collectibles have announced the latest addition to their Lord of the Rings Premium Format figure line-up: Aragorn!

As always, if you would like to support TORn, please use our links to place your pre-order next week. [View the Preview] [Other LOTR Items]
