JG writes: The current issue of SFX magazine in the UK has an LOTR covermount. Every issue contains a miniature based on the film from Sabertooth Games’ The Lord of the Rings Tradeable Miniatures Game. As you can’t see the miniature, you don’t know what you’re getting so you may get one of the common, rare or ultra-rare miniatures.
