Christmas a bit early

Since the holiday spirit seems to be ubiquitous these days, who am I to buck the trend?

New (and default) theme Stockings.

This is a little glimpse into what I think Hobbit, Istar, and I would like to see in our stockings this year. :elf:

[Edit: I was never much of a Trekkie. I watched Star Trek casually as a child, but never really got into the movies or mythology of the show. For some reason, TVLand is showing Trek marathons and can I just say, “WOW!” I’m loving it. A lot. Too much, maybe. I’m not in danger of adding it as a fandom fave, but I am thoroughly entertained by the retro-ivity of the show.]

Christmas is NOW.

Lord of the Rings Two Towers Series 5 Figure: Talking Balrog-Battle Gandalf I got my talking Gandalf today. He sounds just.like.movie.Gandalf. So much so, I got chills hearing him say, “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” I love it. From the UK, I also received an item I would give up smoking for. It’s a Deluxe Gift Set of the entire Fellowship, all boxed up with a map of Middle Earth and the One Ring on a chain. Nine figures plus extras = really low price. Shipping from Essex = $70. Totally worth it, though. A loose Gimli I bought also arrived today. Once my Denethor, Lurtz, and Saruman arrive, I swear I’m not buying any more toys. Seriously.

Oh it’s good to be a geek.
