Tolkien Arcana on Ebay just in time for Xmas - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I really don't know what these are--if they are part of the Burger King Lord of the Rings paraphernalia or not--but someone thinks there might be people on eBay who would want these. In case any Downers are interested in something flashy for their LotR collection, I post the link here.

Rare Lord of the Rings Goblets

I have to say, though, that I think this is the first time I've ever seen the Grey Wizard described as "Gandalf the beautiful"!

Bêthberry,

Yes, these are the Burger King goblets. We still have a number of them in the house because daughter was just the right age at that point to consume large numbers of fast food hamburgers!

They are fun and we still use them, but I would take many descriptions on ebay with a large grain of salt.

I remember those wonderful goblets. My dad had the Gandalf one, which I promptly stole when I went off to school. My friends all laugh when they see it, but it's the most used cup I own.

As cool as it would be to have the other three goblets, something tells me my money could be better spent elsewhere. Though that description does tickle me (Gandalf the Beautiful, eh?).

Do those come with One-ion Rings? Mmmmm...

Perhaps the items should be cross referenced under Lord of the Fries?
