Which includes, LotR Chess, the new LotR Trivial Pursuit (which looks awesome), LotR Risk, and LotR Monopoly (which my store doesn’t have yet but its at the wherehouse.)

Two readers write in with what could potentially be very bad news: for eBay sellers and eBay buyers. Caveant Omnes! [More]
Sorry, Sean gets the 2 points now, for pointing out something complicated about ‘Caveant’ being the third person plural… 🙂

For anyone in Northern Arizona, Southern Utah or Southern Nevada, this makes it a possiblity for you to still do Trilogy Tuesday. The National Finals Rodeo is over December 14th, which means that you should be able to get hotel rooms in Las Vegas for around $40 during midweek. For those who aren’t aware, Henderson is immediately adjacent to Las Vegas. GVR Station is about 8 miles from The Strip. …Just in case any fans wanted to make a quick trip to Vegas in December… 🙂
A real mess seems to be developing at the Uptown Theater in Washington D.C. A computer glitch and error by Fandango appears to have caused each movie in Trilogy Tuesday to be sold separately. Some folks bought tickets to film one, FOTR, assuming it would gain them entrance to the whole marathon. Some bought tickets to all three, just to be safe. People also bought tickets to ROTK or TTT, thinking there was a typo, but not to FOTR, because that had sold out! Confused? I know I am… Hear what our Ringer Spies in D.C. have to say [More]
William writes: I can attest to the fact that most, if not almost all, of the tickets to the Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) Trilogy Tuesday were purchased by scalpers online. People from across the country purchased 10 tickets apiece even though they may live a thousand miles away for the sheer purpose of selling them on E-bay for profit. [More]
UPDATE: The manager of the Plano Cinemark responds to fans’ concerns. [More]
When we sold out of tickets for our Premiere Party in less than 48 hours, the battle was on! We had to find a way to fit more people in without losing our fantastic hilltop vantagepoint at the Skyline Restaurant. . After frantic phonecalls and some mighty wrestling with budgets, we prevailed. Our gracious hosts at The Skyline have organised a superb summer pavilion which will be set up to accommodate more guests. If you plan to be in Wellington to celebrate the World Premiere of Return of the King, why not join fans from all over the world and party with us? [More]
