.I plan on creating a thread about all the promotional and other items for LOTR LCG in detail, so I'd like to wait till then to show it all in one place, as not many gamers in the U.S. are aware of these. If you are interested in trading your alt art Gimli, please PM me! I'd like to have all the cards at some point. I have all the game mats, and all but 1 promotional poster (missing the Gandalf poster). Even some other treasures I'm eager to share.

Hmmm sounds like a bamboozle to me.

I'm European and quite sure we didn't get anything special the U.S. didn't.

Sorry if I'm wrong Frizzle, but I'm calling you out: pictures of heroes or it didn't happen.

Just looking out for my buddies here.

Who were the heroes?

Thorin and Beregond, I believe.

I have pics for anyone seriously considering a trade. Other items are on the table to, I'm even willing to pay cash for the Gimli.

This was discussed at least over on Reddit...Thorin's picture is linked there:

I haven't seen or heard of this Beregond though....I wouldn't be surprised it if was by the same artist, and on the same page...maybe the 4th row 1st on the left?

I'll share pics and the story of how I got them (try to tomorrow). Can someone please help me find a Gimli?

Can confirm re the other alternative art heroes. They are not done by FFG however they are done by an artist who does do lots of art for this game. I believe he gave them away as special items at some get togethers in Europe. I bought a bunch of art prints and bookmarks off him over the holiday period and noticed the alternative art for Thorin and asked and he told me about the special alt art heroes he created.

Also I wish I still had my alt art Gimli and had not traded it for alt art Legolas as Gimli apparently seems to be the most desirable or rare of the official alternative art heroes

Hello,

My name is Luke and I am responsible for this card promo in Poland . It is a long story, but in short everything came from anger when promo art of GenCon were not available in Europe especially in Poland. With my friend we make own event and created promo-cards.

First was Beregond:

Second Thorin:

Third Glorfindel:

This year we have a more: all Fellowship of the Ring

If I can not have Gimli or Boromir from Gencon, I made myself then. Everything for LOTR LCG

Give Boromir some time. I think he'll get there too. The GenCon availability seems much more limited than Fellowship event availability.

That's simply because he came exclusively at GenCon and didn't find his way to the fellowship events like Legolas did.... :( Real bummer for everyone who simply can't afford to go to GenCon but well at least there are pictures out there to print a copy for yourself and put it into the sleeve with the original Gimli.

I have a Polish/German friend who attended the tournament in Poland and sent me two sets for my wife and I. It's cool what you guys are doing in Poland. Glad to get more info how how they came about!
