Collecting Tolkien - Jigsaw Puzzles

Jigsaw Puzzles could be seen as a subset of either Games or Toys. it is quite a nice area of Tolkien to collect. It is not huge and a reasonable area to be a completest. Saying that it is not an area that I especially collect. I do however have a few items.

Collecting Tolkien - Cards and Stickers

The area of cards is quite diverse as it covers both card games and collectors cards. Some of these can individually be very big. I am not a real collector of any of the card systems although I have picked up a few of the basic sets.

There is also a slight crossover with the Promotional area.

This area does not include Gift Cards (see Stationary).
