Yes! I think it is a ploy by the NZ's to boost their tourism!

Definitely real though no Smaug ones yet - maybe for the second movie?

I do indeed!

My friend bought them just as I was meeting Martin Freeman in person in Wellington, so that was very funny!

I will eventually post some pictures, promise!

Awww! I wish I had one! But 150 $ is a bit too expensive...
