I know there are a lot of Tolkien fans who tour Lord of the Ring locations while they are in NZ. Commemorative stamps for the soon-to-be-released Hobbit films will go on sale early November.

And in case, you missed this bit of news. The second Hobbit trailer has been released.

Going in December, just after the 1st movie and can't wait. Wish I was a bizzilionaire I would love the complete coin collection. I will just have to settle for the stamps and the standard coin set....
