We have had discussions about the size of the Stone of Erech - was it only 6’ (or 6’-4” which is 2 Ranger, “man-height”) in diameter or 12’ / 12’-8” - as the text seems to indicate. And if the latter, how much did it weigh, how could Isildur possibly: load it aboard his ship, bring it to Middle...

So my first reaction to this is. Why? I mean i know Peter Jackson sadly screwed up the Hobbit movies. Going from Acceptable to Lame. The only Hobbit visual medium i can recommend, is that 2003 video game released on PC and PS2/Gamecube/Xbox. Though consoles is said to be the best to...

Saw this today, looks like a new edition with some added stuff. CL
