I want, basically, everything as long as it has to do with LoTR and doesn't include something connected to Legolas... and isn't tasteless
What I like best? - the weapons. And the maps.
Some of the things I want to have should already be on their way to me... broken Narsil miniature in the hands of the sad statue in Rivendell... and six maps on parchment... and a huge Mordor-Poster (*curses slow German mail*) ~ problem: I have no idea how I can pay them because I don't really have any money at the moment
Best things are still books, though...
merchandise is often so stupid and too commercialized... of course it's all about commerce, but you can really overdo everything

A Lord of the rings:TT keyring,
posters of every lord of the rings dvd cover, ie the return of the king dvd cover as a poster

omg...they are pricey...i did try out Anduril...things is pretty heavy...the script on the blade is laser etched which is pretty cool...cost three bills and a quarter last i looked...
yeah the map thing would be awesome...esp on parchment paper...but would you get one in elvish script or in english??? i'd get the elvish one just for the sake of reality...
btw...i must've spent nearly 20 mins staring at elendils helm...sh*ts beautifully crafted...right down to the small pits to show its been well worn...
they had an Arwen sword, but it looked smaller than the one's elves had in the prologue to fotr...hmm
I already have three huge maps in my room one that looks rather old and two by John Howe that are just... beautiful with drawings of different scenes round it (Silmarillion for Beleriand and LoTR for NW-ME)
Maps are one of the things I like most about LoTR ... sad that you can't decorate your room with, uhm, languages or something like that ok you theoretically could *thinks about it*

It looks great
Especially the inscription, beautiful writing, and the decorations on the hilt
Yea, the ones in the prologue looked a lil bigger, but several of the available swords are smaller than their film pendants - like Andúril, in the film it's 1.50m, the one you can buy is "only" 1.20 m

Yes I did actually I had been looking for this map for ages
Actually it contains names that I havent seen mentioned anywhere before (except on this map)... on none of Tolkien's maps... dunno where the names are from *wonders*

as we in the states are not yet on the metric system...all that was greek to me...
but arwen's sword was about a little over 2 ft in total length...now i know she's a female elf, but i doubt they'd make a sword just because of that...i wish they had one of those elven sword's on display...
It's a sc. fictional sword belonging to sc. fictional persons - so it DOES belong to them
Though I don't think Hadhafang is Tolkien's fiction
... the name is the Sindarin form of Quenya "Sangahyando", the name of the (?great-)grandson of Castamir who (unjustly) was king of Gondor for 10 years
edit
@Fea
no idea
