Ringer Spy Nathan wrote in with this exciting bit of ROTK EE speculation: “Two of my friends and I waited at the Best Buy in Richfield MN … for the ROTK DVD. At the end of the night, a New Line Rep keeping a low profile at the event came up to us and told us how happy he was with our dedication. [….] We also talked about the EE DVD, and he told us to expect a January release, or late December, but that was unlikely. He added that they were looking at first releasing the EE in theatres, and that a ‘super-trilogy’ Tuesday was under consideration, but not a definite, while mentioning that last year’s EE releases were very lucrative for the studio.”

Games Workshop 'Gamesday' in Baltimore

Iggy writes: I just got back from Games Workshop Gamesday in Baltimore. Here are some pics from the Lord of the Rings tabletop battles that were going on, including the (official names from the convention booklet) mega-battle “Battle of the Pelennor Fields”, also the “Last March of the Ents”, and “Osgiliath.” Everything looked great, as expected. The Games Workshop painted up some nice stuff as you can see. Enjoy! [More]
