You can find them on eBay. They're from the Armies of Middle Earth set. It's commonly abbreviated as AoME on eBay if you're having trouble finding them.

Wait, let me check my LOTR...

- On the left slingshot you'll find Frodo on the top and Sam on the bottom.
- On the right slingshot there's Merry on top, Gollem in the center and Pippin on the right.
- The lower left side of the shooter lane has two ugly looking fellows; I think one Uruq-Hai and one Orc.
- Just above them on the right of the sword ramp is Aragorn on his horse Brego.
- Below the ring are the two wizards. Saruman in white on the left and Gandalf the grey on the right. Some people have a white Gandalf which is generally preferred I think.
- To their right, below the tower with the eye is a big figure of The Witch King (leader of the Nazgul riders) on his horse.

And here are some photos!

Thought I read the new LOTR wont have the plastics threaded for the figures.But Ive never even seen a LOTR this close up.We should all go to Robins house for a night of pin,what train goes from Illinois to the Netherlands?

Gotta get me one of them, maybe santa will be nice to me...

The only thing missing from Robins' machine:

My NIB LOTR arrived today. My friend and I put it together. Game looks and plays great. My only complaint so far is that when you lose the ball even after 2 seconds of play from the time it is launched from the plunger, you do not get to shoot that particular ball again. I do not know what they refer to this as but in Spiderman, if you launch the ball and you immediately lose it, you are given another chance within a certain time to replay the ball over which is a nice feature. Its kind of a second chance. I'm not sure if this machine has the option to do this is or not. I'll have to look in into when I've got some free over the next few days. I will also take a good many closeup pics of the machine in a few days to share with you guys. I'm upset a little about the 12 figures not shipping with the machine, but at least they are available to buy should you really want to. I hope everyone here has a great night. Its been a long day for me.

Wow, I love that ring, Brokedad! Is that a mod of the original ring or something else?

ChrisJK, I'm happy you like your LOTR. It is a fab game! And as for the figures, be happy that you can now pick your own! Gimli and the elf chick - definately a good idea!

That ring is solid 14K gold and a replica of the original LOTR ring. You can get it in cheaper gold and different color inlay. The one pictured is only $3000

Hi SealClubber,

You can find figure mounting kit at http://pinbits.com/ for $15.

ChrisJK: you can adjust the ''ball saver'' for 5 seconds to 15 seconds. I put mine at 10 seconds, that's fair.

Here is a guy selling the figurines: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/browse_thread/thread/930ce65ea5dce833#
