Serious USA Talks Tolkien Cardz
- Xoanon @ 12:40 PST New York, NY (September XX, 2002) - Serious USA takes fans on an interactive adventure into the fantastical world of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers with a brand new collection of digital trading cards inspired by the characters and quests of the much-anticipated sequel to last year's blockbuster from New Line Cinema, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. With four trading card-sized CD Cardz based on each of the four cultures of Middle Earth-Hobbits, Rohirrim, Saruman and Warriors-Serious' new line of digital collectibles explores the worlds of twelve Lord of the Rings characters with bios, behind-the-scenes footage, photos and more! "The depth of The Lord of the Rings storylines and cast of characters gave us a wonderful opportunity to offer fans a collection of digital collectibles rich in design and content," said Neil Birk, Director of Sales and Marketing, Serious USA. "The effort that the Serious team has put into recreating the magic and mystery of The Two Towers is reflected in every facet of the set, from the vibrant layout and effects of each card, to the vivid depiction of each character's adventures." Echoing the ominous powers of the Ring that propel the storyline of The Lord of the Rings, fans use the magical Ring to navigate through the content of each of the CD Cardz, exploring the different featured characters' areas of interest. Mystical sound effects and movie sound bites highlight the transition from one interactive area to the next, as the sinister burning eye of the Dark Lord Sauron appears throughout the digital journey as a frequent reminder of the evil forces that shadow The Lord of the Rings adventures. By exploring the Cardz' map of Middle Earth, users uncover "hot spots" to download exclusive The Two Towers wallpaper and screensavers. Serious' new collection of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers CD Cardz will be available in November for a suggested retail price of $14.99. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

TTT Merch Hitting More Stores?
- Xoanon @ 16:34 PST Also going in to my specialty book store I was looking at the LOTR books. I noticed something BIG! NEW COVERS!!! yes that's right there are new covers to the books. They were sitting in a stand With Frodo up the top with the ring in bag end, a close up. FOTR is blue with Helms Deep on the cover. TTT is Baradur and is green. ROTK is orange and has Orthanc on it. They are very much like the first book series but different pictures. Also went in to my local dress makers shop and whilst looking at the comstumes I came across LOTR costumes. Now they are Simplicity patterns and I think they are also sold in France to. The pattern is Simplicity and the number of the pattern is 9887. They are patterns for the Nazgul, Gandalf, Frodo and Galadriel. Just thought I'de let you know as i haven't heard anything about the new covers yet and thought you all might want to know. There you go.
FrodoFan1 writes: I was at my Local K-Mart in Perth Western Australia and I came across a very interesting discovery. In the toy section there before me was Sting. TTT style. Yes in the marone box with Saruman and Sam and Frodo on the box. It's basically the same as the Sting for FOTR was but different packaging.
