I don't understand bucks. They were about £15 each which is reasonable for something so realistic. I haven't found anything else for under £100.
And don't talk to me about money. I can't even afford chocolate. At least your parents give you money.

Gee... I think the stuff I saw was in American dollars. One US$ is about S$1.7. One pound is about S$2.7. I think either the pound is rising or the S$ is suffering or both.  I got that off a classmate. Which means I am still pretty broke. Oh... my parents pay for all my chocolate. ;D |

Ring replica! Lucky...
What kind of sword replica should I get? Arwen's, Aragorn's, Gandalf's or Frodo's? Tricky...
P.S. What's the URL for that? I wouldn't mind bearing an Elven ring...

Aragorn's. ;D Personally, I think that if you take a closer look at the Nazgûl weapons on sale, they're actually really cool. But nevermind. I wonder why all of you like getting this kind of stuff. I'm more of the posters person. Each one costs uh, about S$12. I'm having fun saving up right now. The ones I want total up to about S$60. Which is a lot for a person who still owes his classmate S$27. Bah. Money. You know... you can buy a lot of LotR merchandise online. It's almost everywhere. IRL as well. Bossini is selling Harry Potter shirts. I'm tempted to get 2 of 'em. |

Anyway.... Chamber of Secrets opens on the 14th here. ;D I'm watching it next Tuesday. Can't wait...
Guess what's out on video! Star Wars II! Guess who got it? My dad! Guess who doesn't know about it? My brothers! So guess who doesn't get to see it until Friday? That's right, me. Hmph.
I never saw the fuss over merchandizing. A lot of the HP products they put out are, in my opinion, pretty lame. (My opinion. No offense meant to any purchasers.) LotR seems to be doing okay with the purdy rings and- er- weapons, though. |

we have a lot of buses driving up to school and there are a few with big harry potter posters on the side like one of Hermionie(sp?) with " he called me mudblood" I want to got see it on sat.. My RE teacher got to see it last week! 
Jared I was going to buy a poster of middle earth but my mum found one she drew as a student. It's really good she drew every single tree in Mirkwood and a little ship in the wind in the bay of belfas and other stuff.

Wow. Talented. My parents have no clue what LotR is about. My sister didn't understand the first movie. So... I get most of the stuff myself. One thing I don't like about the HP posters is that they don't have enough of Draco Malfoy...  |

LoL, special edition, no... I mean, the big stuff, they get for me. DVDs, OSTs, books... it's the merchandise that's "unnecessary" (according to them) that I pay with my own allowance. Which, since the allowance is coming from them in the first place anyway, doesn't make me see the point of this... And Malfoy's the greatest. Your friend's sister probably fancies Tom Felton, but I liked the character in the book anyway... Felton's pretty good, but he should sneer more. And look meaner. Then he'd be perfect. Except for the over-gelled hair... By the way, the name is here to stay. |

I think that Tom Felton is the best looking actor in the hp movie. Actually I can't really remember most of the actors/actresses face... |

Hmm... Yes, he looks sufficiently evil in that one. And Crabbe and Goyle have a nice MIB thing going on. Very good.
One other thing... Why has Eriador been taken over by characters from Winnie the Pooh? (And can I be Piglet? Lol.)

Don't worry Imrel it's just a temporary insanity.
On my part anyway but i can't speak for Jar who's suffering from compulsive obsessional Christopher Robin syndrome.
Oh and yes you can be piglet ;D
