The Green Dragon LOTR Collectible Archives REVAMPED...HELP NEEDED!!

[Geb]

Hey everyone....I need your help!

As you may or may not know, I started and have evolved the Lord of the Rings Collectible archives at TheGD.com over the past 5-6 years. In the course of continuing to stay abreast of everything LOTR collectible, I have fallen short on several occasions and in many lines...especially the classic collectibles.

To that end, however, I have completely revamped the structure of the Collectibles LOTR archives at TheGD.com:

TheGD LOTR Collectible Archives

The new version is much more graphical in nature, has more information and more imagery than ever before. Also...in the restructuring, I added a ton of new categories and new items...but with that comes the shortfalls.

HERE IS WHAT I NEED:

1) Check out the archives...enjoy...and see if I am missing any key information on any of the collectibles that you would find useful.

2) What am I missing? Entire LINES? Various items from some lines? ANYTHING?

3) Any suggestions to improve navigation, product count, search, etc. would go a long way to making this the premier LOTR collectible ARCHIVE...

Lastly...thanks for reading and continuing to visit and support TheGD.com...we have come a long way together...and with The Hobbit on the horizon...I want to have all my ducks in a row before!!

It looks good from what I see. I love your site and have visited it every day since the release or ROTK in 2003. Keep up the good work Geb.

 

[superdoug]

I love your site! It was one of the site I found about the lotr figures and I love how many pictures are in the archives. I'll see if I can help but seeing as most of my knowledge pn lotr collectibles comes from your site I probably won't be much help.

 

[Polylord]

Looks very well done, great job.

Some minor things I just stumbled across: The link on the Fell Beast Vs. Eagles page (Sideshow Collectibles) "Check it out at Sideshow TODAY" ends up at the Aragorn vs Uruk Hai diorama.

The Legendary Scale Balrog bust isn't on there yet.

I don't see the Witch King Crown? Or the Crown of King Elessar? Crown of the Mouth of Sauron?

The Argonath Bookend set isn't listed.

The Smeagol statuette that came with one of the Extended DVD Gift Box Sets isn't listed, neither is its companion piece Gollum.

The Smeagol SDCC Exclusive Bust isn't listed.

The link on the page "Lord of the Rings Promotional" called "Food (Theatres, Cadbury etc)" is set to the page of "Miscilaneous: Everything else"

Polylord,

Thanks for the comments...will get those items added and fixed hopefully tonight.

Thanks again...and please keep checking the archives...and DO NOT HESITATE to drop me an email at: [email protected] with comments, ideas, or missing items or errors...they are all helpful.

Remember, these archives were made for the fans to use...the fans can help make them better!!

Ah,very nice.

 

[carbo-fation]

Sorry, but I didn't have time to look at your site in great detail. But from what I saw, it looks excellent. Great work!

 

[Wetanut]

Didn't get to do a thorough look-see but a few items (have provided links where I could):
- Noble's LOTR Middle Earth backgammon set https://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/catalog.cfm?catid=17
- Code 3's 3-D mini poster of FOTR
- Bradford Exchange's stuff (plates, window glass, etc.) https://bradfordexchange.collectiblestoday.com/ct/store/brad/Lord+of+the+Rings/_prod/_14
- Creation Entertainment's set of 3 Ceramic Photo Tiles (miniature movie posters in ceramic)
- New Line's 5' wide cast poster
- Mattel's Barbie & Ken as Arwen & Elessar; Barbie as Galadrial; Ken as Legolas
- Minimates

 

[Captain Faramir]

Yes! I've been looking everywhere for good photos of Ken as Legolas--I think his bow might actually more accurately shaped than the Sideshow version, so I really want to see if it's worth picking up! Thanks dude.

 

[The Craw]

Here is my contribution:

SSW Cave Troll hammer is not there....

[Zoomaround]

Great site! It's truly a great reference for us LOTR collectors.

Just thought I'd have you check out Newline since I've purchased a few items there that are not on your list: https://search.newlineshop.com/?key...&go_search.x=0&go_search.y=0&go_search=Search

Also, do you plan on adding any books or recorded books to the list?

Thanks for sharing your site.

FROM POLYLORD:

1. The link on the Fell Beast Vs. Eagles page: FIXED
2. The Legendary Scale Balrog bust isn't on there yet: FIXED
3. ADDED a TON of Helms/Crowns...don't know how these were missed
4. Added the Extended DVD Giftset Items
5. Link for Promotional FOOD stuff is correct...just trying to get everything added

I corrected some of these.

If ANYONE has BETTER images of the Witchking Crown EXCLUSIVE...I would love to see them and use them...or if you want to sell it to me...that would be even better!!

I can't see the pictures (thumbnails) listed underneath "Sideshow/WETA - Miscellaneous Collectibles"

The pictures of the Balrog LS Bust won't show on my computer.

Also, a few years ago there was a promotion from Pepsi here in the Netherlands, where you could collect 6 glasses from Lord of the Rings-characters. If you want, I could come up with some pictures.

Hi Geb,

Just doing a quick look-see of your site here are a few things:

1. Sideshow WETA Escape from Isengard wall plaque is not listed.
2. Antioch Publishing developed a wide range of LOTR bookmarks from all three movies. I didn't see these listed anywhere.
3. Australia launched a promotional item of LOTR pins. You cut out the newspaper coupon and redeemed a pin.

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment.

Fixed the Misc Area and the images are now showing up...
Forgot to upload the Balrog imagery...now up and loaded.

Would LOVE to get imagery of the Pepsi Netherlands glasses...please send them along...will gladly credit you in the archives as well.

I wonder if you like to have another catogeroy of orginal one-sheet poster for the film.

I happen to have all the links heree...

I have only included the US official released, and does not include UK or other countries, and also not commercial print...or else it will be too many..

 

[gtb]

These are the rest of the posters... thanks

Note that the above 2 are not the same....

 

[Geb]

Thanks gtb,

Posters are a tough one...having the original one sheets would probably be okay, but if I attempted to include every knock-off poster, well...that would take years to find all of them. But the one-sheets...those are collectible and could be easily added to the archives...getting on it!
