My girlfriend and I don't have very many franchises that we both like; however, when I recently introduced her to LOTR she fell in love. In turn, I rekindled the flame (of Anor) for the trilogy, and want to collect a few props that I didn't buy way-back-when.
As it stands, I think our focus might be on Gandalf, the elves, and the Nazgul. I think we'll also be looking for Sting and a few smaller props as well...So are there any tips that might be helpful in procuring some prop replicas from The Hobbit and the LOTR films? I know there are knock-off versions of the swords and helmets, but I don't know what sites deal in what variety. We honestly are going for a "good-enough" focus, which doesn't require 100% screen accuracy, and it's constrained by a limited budget.
I've done some digging, and have showed her several things, but many items are simple too expensive. So I was wondering what sites offered the best deals, or what LOTR collectors might recommend.
