the final 3

as most of you know, during the 2 weeks before i gave birth to terrorliza, i'd taken leave and stayed home to prepare for her delivery.

naturally, with some spare time during the mornings when my older girls were in school, i squeezed out some "me time" and spent the hours surfing the net for - what else - the remaining few LOTR toys missing from my collection.

i tracked down 3 rare (and expensive) figurines, lost some of the bids on ebay (i'm not that desperate to pay hefty sums for the toys, no matter how much i want them, especially since i had to pay for international shipping, plus they were in USD) and finally got them!

FOTR Orc Overseer

FOTR Orc Warrior

TTT Moria Orc

yes, all the hideous orcs which wen calls "mummy's mor-mors" (monsters). they've arrived safely from USA and are peering evilly out from their boxes.

total damage? US$63.52/S$88.41

• FOTR Orc Overseer and FOTR Orc Warrior: US$8.99 + US$10.99 + US$20.25 (shipping) = US$40.23 /S$55.78
• TTT Moria Orc: US$10.50 + US$12.99 (shipping) = US$23.29 / S$32.63

the hub didn't even bat an eyelid when the packages arrived from the States. he just shrugged his shoulders and gave me the "whatever makes you happy" look.

anyway, i'm quite certain there aren't any figurines out there left for me to buy. the ones i don't own are the ones i don't really fancy.

so yeah, i think i've just bought the last 3 of the LOTR toybiz figurines i want.

this time, i really think it's the end. :P
