I third(?) that!
And the Prancing Pony, complete with hobbit and human sized rooms...Gondor might be hard to make though...you'd need a massive hill for a start...hmmm

if I had a gabillion dollars, I'd build Argonath somewhere. When I purchased one set of the dvd's et.al. it came with an 8 inch set of the Argonath. I have them on my TV. Wouldn't it be great if Warner built a "Middle Earth" like they built the Harry Potter site in Florida???

I have Minas Tirith also, but did not get anything with
the first release, so just the two.
I have a good friend who owns a model train store. They
spend more time "training" than selling or buying, he and
all his friends, but he loves it. They have a huge
Model Train show at the local auditorium this weekend.
Thousands expected. I don't know the guage,but his father
has an outdoor model all over the back yard, with all the
trimmings (probably minus Argonats), the train cars are about two feet in length. Great hobby.

I had a train as a child, Lionel, have no idea of the size.
Smallish 8-10 inch cars. It was on a board on in the basement. But all it did was run around an oval. Had no
houses or things, and never gave a thought to making any.
Just never saw one, I guess, so did not know it could be
done, being only about 8 years old. Could have done so
with cardboard and other stuff, if given the idea. But they
are fun. This friend has a "huge" garage and is converting
the "attic" part of it into a display.

I read LOTR when virtually all of my contemporaries were, and was only mildly impressed; and that was with the skill of the coherence of the series, and not at all with the story itself. Just a nice little fantasy story.
You-all ought to go off somewhere and have your own thread on this...oh wait, you just did! I put this sentence purely in an effort to be funny, not because I was/am aggravated.

Sorry you were not impressed, but, then, different
strokes for different folks.
