Chin up my friend. I had just missed out on an Alien pin several weeks back...had a shot at it but tried to negotiate down a little as I didn't really know what it was truly worth at that point in time. Someone else struck a deal right before I could. Thankfully, another Alien was offered to me unexpectedly by someone who saw a post I made about how much I hoped to find one, and now it looks like it might actually happen. I hope you get your LOTR when you least expect the chance.
