The next Hobbit collectible will give collectors a chance to own Beorn’s House. Fans who are lucky enough to attend the Salt Lake Comic-Con can see this in person during the convention. All we know right now is that will be limited to only 750 pieces worldwide. Once we know more we will pass that information along.

For the first time in North America, the complete film trilogy The Lord of the Rings will be presented live, in concert, at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, New York, April 8-12, 2015. Beneath a giant screen, the Academy Award-winning scores by Howard Shore will be performed by 250 musicians, on stage, including symphony orchestra, chorus and soloists, in two trilogies, Wednesday-Friday, April 8-10, and Saturday-Sunday, April 11-12. The production is created by CAMI Music, and follows acclaimed concert presentations of the first two films of The Lord of the Rings trilogy at Radio City Music Hall (2009 and 2010).

The Lord of the Rings, In Concert, at Lincoln Center, features the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus of Lucerne, Switzerland, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, which specializes in bringing films and their scores to life, and performs an annual program of film concerts at the KKL Luzern. Soloists and chorus for the 2015 trilogy performances at Lincoln Center, as well as related forums and other events, will be announced at a later date.

These mini-statues are a really neat line by Weta as they allow folks to acquire their masterful work at a price that works for any collectors budget. Collectors can snag the Ringwraith right now, which is in-stock for only $75.
