A completed theme

[PxChris]

The Lord of the Rings theme is one of the ones that really got my interests back up to a strong boil when it comes to LEGO collecting, but unfortunately for me, while the sets were still on the shelves I was much more focused on other pursuits (music collecting mostly). Well, I was finally able to just recently complete my Lord of the Rings collection and now have all the sets and minifigures! I got them all set up to snap a few pics last week. Pretty darn happy with them. 

(I do also have some of the Hobbit sets, especially 79003 which I have multiple copies of, as well as the whole of Thorin's company, but this is just Lord of the Rings sets.)

I notice you include Dimensions minifigures and the game tags. There are other similar non-retail set items, such as the keychains, magnets, loads of video games, and there was also a Sting sword available from LEGO stores as part of a treasure hunt. Also a storage box (project case). Plus they gave out stickers too and various posters.

I only included the Dimensions figs & side builds because in my own mind they are to be included in the complete-ist minifigure list. I do have some (though not all) of the other non-building set LotR items as well.

I've actually been looking for a copy of the instructions for the in-store treasure hunt sword build. I have the pieces for it, but not the photocopied instruction sheet.

In store, they had instructions sheets for the Sting that were laminated and attached to the parts stand. So I guess not many of them ever escaped.

Have you considered adding the helms deep board game to your collection?

Its microfigs but I still appreciate them. There are quite a few of them and they are more rare than some of the standard figs.

Yes, I actually would like to add that to the collection someday! I do have The Hobbit game which is fun as well.
