: How do you guys store your LOTR fan club mags?
: Roz January 19, 2005, 07:25:46 PM
Currently I have a ROTKU binder, with A4 Ultra Pro pockets which I keep about 12 in. But it's full!

Thanks to a lot of members on this forum using up their fan dollars/last mag entitlements from decipher I should have a full set soon 18!

But obviously this is too much for one folder. Should I look out for a TT one (they seem to be going cheap at the moment) or does anyone have a better storeage solution? :)

Thanks guys

Roz

That is a good idea you have there Roz for the storage of your LOTR's Fan Club Magazines.  I guess it depends on if you want to look at the mags regularily or just put them away.  Your idea handles the second option.  If you want to look at them I would suggest a magazine holder that you can get from Office Supply stores.  They are usually wire mesh and depending on the size of the magazines can hold up to 24 issues.  That is what I am doing with my 18 issues so far.

I store my magazines in A4 magazine sized clear plastic boxes. Each box holds about 4 magazines & you can see which issues are where as the boxes are clear.

I am on a mission to make my own binder to keep them in - LOTR binders sized & each will hold 9....still trying to work out an acceptable design.

I'll let you Roz how I get on & see what you think of them!

Brilliant, sounds good - I'll wait and see the end results,  you are a bit of a dab hand at these things :)

 Never mind how to store them Roz....if I made this much on one magazine, I'll get a binder specially commissioned!!!

Yep the Gimli's have been going for £60-£70 ever since they sold out on the website...!!!!

As I said DO NOT CANCEL YOUR ORDER FOR GIMLI :)

Then sell it and buy yourself a nice box of the next Topps release :D

If you *don't* mind... I DO have an easy chair you can sit in... I'm not entirely savage (ahem first year in 6 I've had space for one ;))

Why thank you kindly! ;D

It is odd the way Gimli has sold out first. After a quick flick through the mag I don't think it's particularly better than any other of the mags.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe they printed the same number of each mag at that point, but I do know that the Gimli mag was given away in a promo pack at one San Diego Comic Con event (I bought one of those promo packs ;))... so they probably lost a lot out of the system there.

Well either that or the other early issues are about to sell out imminently when the fan club sends out the issues.

We'll see

Finally as promised to Roz & though a  bit belate...never mind!


Here's my 2 binders which was designed & I will be using for my LOTR Fan Club magazines. Made them to match the colours of the magazines themselves & they are same size/width as the official Topps binders.
 Hope you like them!

Oh yeah I love those... no promises as I have to save up for a pile this high

*makes gesture to nose 5 foot 8 inches off the ground*

for signatures at C7 etc ;) but would you let me know how much it would cost to get one of each??

And for your next assignment Agent Cowblue - we'd like a binder for our Trilogy cards  :P

I wonder why Topps didn't produce a Trilogy binder?
They could've done one with chrome-effect covers to match the cards! ;)

Excellent job on those magazine binders btw! ;D

WOWOWOWOW!!  ;D
Luvverly binder!  ;D ;D

Any chance of buying one from you please, as I have all those fab chrome cards and nothing to put them in to be able to look at them? ;)


: Re:How do you guys store your LOTR fan club mags?
: Angels March 01, 2005, 03:47:21 AM
Fantastic. I love the fan club and the chrome binders. You have done a really good job. If you  are making any to order I am seriously interested in buying all 3.


: Re:How do you guys store your LOTR fan club mags?
: cowblue March 01, 2005, 04:07:08 AM
HI Nienna & Angels!


Thanks for your kind comments & glad you like them....I can do them to order if you are serious about wanting them.


Just for info also, back of binders are plain silver with no design,  only designs on front & spine of Trilogy ones. The fan club ones also plain silver at back with designs at front & spine & also inside on front cover themed LOTR style.

I just need to check & see if I can get any more silver binders & probably will not know this till weekend.  You guys ok to wait till then?

Am doing Fan club ones for Roz & got last binders last week but know more are coming in stock.

In meantime, can you let me know where in the world you are based???

Cheers

(...please note.........my monkey does not come provided with binders!!!!)

I would like one of the Trilogy binders please and thanks for describing the backs of them too ~ I know we won't be looking at that bit of it but it's still nice to know what it will look like! :D

I've no objection to waiting either.  ;)

Which bit of the world am I?
I'm in the UK in the Midlands, so postage shouldn't be too much of nightmare to sort out.
Drop me a PM with details on the cost and P+P and I can give you my address details by return.

Woo Hoo!! A Trilogy Binder at last!! ;D
