There are 10 new photos from various conventions courtesy of Michelle, Sian, Laurelin and Charmion. Thanks for sending them in!
A German site has aquired the rights to sell the official merchandise. This probably means cheaper shipping rates for those of you that live in that area. Just in time for the holidays! 😀

We have a new photo from Paris Comic Con courtesy of Stephane.
Ben, whom you might also know as “Destroyer of Nations,” one of the moderators from the CPF Forum, is working on getting Craig confirmed to the One Ring Celebration convention in January. He e-mailed me the following post that he had made over at the forum:
“OK, everyone, we all know that the voice of the people can move mountains, so, let’s use our voices to let Creation know how much we want Craig to come to TheOneRing Celebration in January. Email campaigns have done wonders in the past with these sort of things. I am asking everyone, even those not planning on attending to help your CPF Fanmily out, by taking a little of your time to either mail, email or even phone Creation so they know that bringing Craig to ORC will bring more guests. If they are hounded by enough requests, they just might make him an offer he can’t refuse. Below is the basic info needed for contacting them.”

Apparently Toybiz is working on a new action figure series, the Lothlorien giftset, which will feature Galadhrim Haldir! This is a mock-up and may not be what the final product looks like:

Nan wrote in to let us know that Mercy Peak is now being shown again on TVOne in New Zealand on Monday nights at 11:00. Unforunately they showed episode 1 the other day, but it looks like they’ll be showing them in order with the second episde this next week.
After I posted the info about the messenger bag from Craig’s official merchandise site, Stephanie wrote in the following:
The messenger bag is awesome. For me, because of all the pockets, there is a place for everything I used to carry to work in a backpack and a purse. The quality is amazing. I was so happy when I received it that I wished I had ordered 2 of them just so I could have a spare in case anything happened to this one. LOL Bottom line, don’t be afraid to order from the Official Craig Parker Merchandise website. Shipping costs might scare some of you a bit, but think of it this way. This stuff has to travel halfway round the world from New Zealand to get to most of us. You won’t regret it. : )

Ian Smith has updated his web log with his review of Ring*Con from this past weekend, complete with photos.
There are two reviews posted at theonering.net, one from Leo, and one from Tinuvielas.
