Toy news
To cheer myself up a bit, I bought a little Lord of the Rings Rivendell Lego set. It features the Council of Elrond area and few outdoor elements & architectural accents (elven arches etc.) in autumnal colors. Two points of note:
a) The chairs at the Council swivel & spin around like office desk chairs.
b) Given how Lego handled the half-height thing, Gimli and Frodo cannot actually be posed to sit in their chairs. Arwen cannot sit either, as her lower half is a solid trapezoidal prism. Elrond can sit, but his cloth cape would get caught up in these particular chairs. That means that none of the figures included with the set can actually use the chairs provided. Currently, Arwen, Gimli, and Frodo are standing in their chairs, while Elrond is sitting grumpily on the ground, glaive in hand.
