LOTR and The Hobbit are being released in a Collector's Edition for $800. No new features are being added, but you can get a fancy book and case for the discs (that you likely already bought).

I'll be saving my $800 for when the Marvel "All Three Phases" collector box of doom comes out.

I have no doubt that Marvel, at least, will make it worth your while with cool extra features.

Nice, but not 800$ nice.

Even as a Tolkien nerd, I would never pay that much with no new content to make it worth it. I already have all the extended editions. I don't really need a second copy that costs that much money.

Tolkien fandom seems to be in agreement with you. $800 is ridiculous and the only people likely to want this already bought the Extended Editions the first time around.

and I'm sure you payed way less! Even if they were all new!

Word, I agree with that. I'd rather save my money for another sword.

My mom got me Star Wars cookie cutters for my birthday, so now I have two sets, one from Williams Sonoma and one from Thinkgeek. Plus Star Wars ice cube trays, lightsaber chopsticks, and Darth Vader lightsaber pizza cutter.

I love fannish kitchen things.

You clearly need this in your life next:

That is hysterical and I feel like I would totally need that in my next house! I wanted the rug for my hallway, but I'm trying not to entirely overdo the nerd theme EVERYWHERE, haha.

That is amaaaaazing

I'm excited that OUAT Belle is getting her own Funko, and that it's one of her adventure outfits (even though I kind of liked her ridiculous season 3 hotpants one better). I sort of want to buy second wave Hook just to steal Excalibur and then custom make a Mr. Gold. And I'm tempted to buy either lots of shot peach silk taffeta and make Christine Daaé's Aminta dress from Phantom of the Opera (even with my cheap embroidery machine, so much work) or lots of custom printed blue striped floral fabric and make her blue dress. (So much trim, so many stripes to match.) Halloween is on a Monday and I'd like to wear something cool to my costuming class.

I somehow resisted buying the Deus Ex Mankind Divided collector's edition.

I kind of regret it tho.

Are tattoos merchandise? I am thinking of getting a Lion King tattoo (it would be my first).

The fandom merch I am looking forward to is my Collector's Edition of Legion, which I will be getting on Tuesday.

What would the tattoo be specifically? Where do you want to get it?

I've got all the Warcraft collectors editions from Cata onwards because I love the little extras that they come with, and I regret not getting the Wrath one when I could have.

I've also got a bunch of toys of different characters from lots of different canons.

Plus superhero t-shirts.

I'd quite like some new fandom t-shirts, but I can't find any I like. I want subtle designs that don't immediately scream fandom, but everything has logos or quotes or faces or whatever. It's not that I don't like the look of those shirts, it's just that those types of prints limit when and where I can wear the shirt.

So if anyone knows of any cool places to get geeky shirts, let me know.

What fandoms? There's plenty of unofficial merch to be had from Redbubble, Society6, and other print on demand sites.

You can try http://shirtoid.com/

That site collects all fannish shirts from a number of different site. You can also search them by fandom/colour/etc - very helpful feature.

I'm wanting more Transformers shirts in my collection. All of my current ones are Decepticon ones and I needs a few Autobot ones.

...also I wouldn't mind having a few decals related to my favorite fandoms and games for my 3DS.

I had a bit of a freakout yesterday about my Sting dagger (as in, Frodo's sword, but dagger size) going missing, looked everywhere and ended up finding it sitting on the left end of my desk, hiding under the edges of my impromptu wardrobe hanging from the steps next to my desk.
