The Tatooine Hobbit house is great. I was confused by the stormtrooper helmet, but I assume it is for scale?

For a game, I would love to see the Fellowship's quest running on the Breath of the Wild engine. Each character gets bonuses/penalties for the different weapons and skills (Legolas better with bows, Gimli with axes, Sam gets natural cooking bonus, etc.). Tears of the Kingdom showed that the Mines of Moria would be great on that game engine.

Oh man, that would be so amazing! I suddenly need to play it: it seems like the perfect pairing!

I am BEGGING for a re-release of the Fellowship of the Ring game that came out in the early 2000s, it was so close to the book!!

I don't think I played that one! It would be great if they could re-release it!

It was incredible! It had a whole Tom Bombadil level set in the Old Forest, and the Barrow Wights, and music for all the songs!!

Love the Star Wars house!! And the cats (and I don’t even like cats). :)

My daughter just watched all of the Star Wars movies (the trilogies and the standalone movies), and I am trying to get her interested in LOTR. She’s 12 and loves reading, so I am hoping she will give it a go!

Haha, glad to hear it!

And wow, how fun! Oh to reexperience Star Wars and LOTR again for the first time...but getting to share it with someone you love is pretty close to that too. Can't wait till my kids are old enough to share it with them!

Okay, that Star Wars Hobbit house is something else! So fun! Yes, I've hosted Hobbit Day parties. My daughter shares a birthday with Bilbo and Frodo, and we started having Hobbit Day parties for her (and their) birthday when she turned 18. The past couple of years she hosted it at her own home, which she shares with her husband who ALSO has a Hobbit Day birthday!

Wow, how special! (and fortuitous that your daughter and her husband share the same birthday with each other AND with Bilbo and Frodo haha). Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate!
