THE HOBBIT movie = new HOBBY???

It has been a looooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg wait and finally it is coming!

I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I read all the books, I have numerous LOTR books, almost have all the action figures from " toybiz ", some trading cards and even a Legolas ash tray.

Not too sure but I think I have around 150 pieces of LOTR action figures in my display cabinet. I have like 10 Frodo Baggins and around 8 Legolas action figures. All figures are covered in dust but the new up coming " The Hobbit " movie makes me want to clean them up and take photos of them for the net to see. OR better yet, I could start buying and painting some Lord of the Rings Games Workshop figures soon.

Same as when I saw the small beautiful face of my first new born child, I could not explain how happy I am when I saw the trailer of the up coming The Hobbit movie.

The Lord of the Rings trading cards are hard to come by, The toyline 6 inch action figures from toybiz is long dead and collecting the LOTR GW miniature figures is the nearest thing to what I have been doing for the past 3 years. If I get to buy my first LOTR miniature, my Vallejo paints will be of some use again.

The movie got me excited... and I might be moving on to a different hobby this 2012.

LOTR Rohan miniatures painted by Decay

I am a really huge LOTR fan! I have truckloads of the 6 inch action figures, some trading cards, some hard bound books, some paper back books and some other stuffs such as ash trays, pens and even pencils and erasers.

However it was really unfortunate to discover as my wife was rounding out the stuffs in the house because of the ongoing renovation, she discovered that most of my LOTR paper back books were eaten by mice! I was not able to take photos of my poor books as she threw it away right after seeing them.

Oh well, I guess its an excuse to buy another set of those books and maybe reread them eventually. On a semi side note... I have here a link to a good friend's blog featuring his latest post of his old painted Lord of the Rings Rohan miniatures. Great stuff as always from Decay and very inspiring paint job on those tiny figures! Here is the link guys...
