LOL!!
Skipping the bookends? Can't blame you, but I just have to have them for some odd reason.
I've gone completely off the deep end, I'm afraid!
I'd love to have them, but I just can't justify the expense with travels to and fro from North Carolina and Christmas just around the corner. I'll wait a few months and pick 'em up on eBay...
Wouldn't it be sweet if when they released TTT SE, it came with Orthanc and Barad-Dur bookends?
