Gollum would not carry a ring on his back....only the precious.

near the London area but I do plenty of business in TO. Best coast that must be James Bay;)

If you are making a MOC with Gollum being thrown against a rock, like he was in several scenes, then the stud will allow you to "pin" him against the rocks.

very nice cobblestone affect. May have to steal that idea.

Is it too late to join this guild?

very nice.

Well I might as well jump in somewhere... I agree with most of what is said in the blog. I stayed away from this faction because the sets were to fargone(flying machines). However the black dragon set is real nice and the minifigures had some of the coolest equipment up to that point. The larger castle sti;; used the large base plates rather than the much flimsier 32x32 plates. I bought the dragon set and forgot about the rest.

long time lego user(I have sets that predate minifigures). Into space and castle themes. Will be buying every LotR set that comes out. Went to my first Lego store this year and hoping in near future to go to a lego fest somewhere? Was at the toyfair and saw new sets that Lego is releasing but they do not let you take pictures and all the sets are glued together. So I am guessing my Orc army will be enlarging and my SW will be stagnating a bit.
