hey, I've never been slash dotted before, I didn't even know this place existed! Anyways, just to clear up a few misperceptions, Lego does not make any type of tolkien related product. These are recombinations from existing parts from almost every Lego theme, from town to space to pirate etc. So the commercialisation of Tolkiens world does not include lego bricks (they are currently cramming harry potter down peoples throats!)
Also, for those of you who feel that maybe this generation of fans is in someway inferior to those who grew up watching those abominable 1970's cartoon specials on TV, you are correct, I grew up watching those things, and boy can I say they built character! Something a casual movie watcher will be sorely lacking! If you are wondering about my loyalty to book over movie, you'll notice that there are almost more creations from The Two Towers (which will be released later this year)my favorite two books in the Novel! thanks for all of the web hits, and comments! - "Nerd of the Rings"
