“Gandalf for President” car bumper sticker from 1984 U.S. presidential election season (Reagan v. Mondale) features the Bakshi Gandalf character.

That’s nice, I wonder if the Gandalf image was copyrighted!

This bumper sticker was from "The Fellowship", the (official?) fan club for the movies run by Bernie Zuber who also did the promotional work for the movies in the USA for Saul Zaentz. Adverts for it can be seen in the various issues of The Brandywine Star fanzine from the organization. I believe everything from The Fellowship/Brandywine Star was done with permission of SZ at the time.

PS love this thread! I have a few items to toss in later this week but I am vastly enjoying your collection Andy, and everyone else.

Movie jigsaw, "puzzler" along with Chester.

Following on from wheresrob’s post yesterday, here is another jigsaw puzzle by Hestair. This again featuring the classic Fellowship image and consists of 400 pieces.

Here are 4 promotional color stills from the Bakshi 1978 animated movie (supposedly originally acquired from the distributor).

Those are really interesting, I’ve not seen them before, the images are not the normal promotional images.

So these are three large posters, the metallic looking Gandalf one has already been posted before by Arbor, the other two are really nice images of Moria and The Shire. Sorry for the poor photo, these are in storage and this is the only picture I have of them.

I have already shown the 2 disco versions of the movie theme, but this is the official 45” vinyl single of the theme performed by the soundtrack writer Leonard Rosenman.

Here are a set of greetings cards, there are 24 in the set. There is quite a nice selection of images from the movie and they are quite vibrant.
