Quinstreet, an online distributor for Department 56, has set up a program to sell Lord of the Rings collectibles such as waterglobes, ornaments, secret boxes, and other items over the Web.

The collectibles product line, to be expanded in the future, presently includes six secret boxes (Gimli & Legolas, Frodo & Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey, Arwen the Elven Princess, Saruman, and Strider), five waterglobes (Galadriel the Elven Queen, Hobbits in Hiding, Ringwraiths, Saruman's Chamber, The Ringbearer), eleven ornaments (Legolas, Prancing Pony, Gimli, Strider, Gandalf the Grey, Saruman, Frodo & Bilbo, Rivendell, Arwen, The Shire, and Orthanc), and a Mines of Moria picture frame and a lighted Bag End house gift set with Gandalf, Frodo, and the house and gate.

We include here a few images to convey an idea of the beauty and quality of these hand-crafted pieces. We hope that our visitors will find the Lord of the Rings collectibles worthy of attention. The characters and scenes are based on Peter Jackson's upcoming "Lord of the Rings" movies. Xenite.Org is home to the Web's oldest continuously updated Lord of the Rings movie news site.

We have added a framed link to the collectibles shop at the Xenite.Org Gift Shop.
