AFFILIATE LINK: The Hobbit 3 3/4-Inch Collector Pack

If, like me, you saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this weekend and really enjoyed it, then chances are you're paying a little more attention to the toys now you've actually seen the movie. And, if like me, you like a bargain, then by the law of Collector Math this five-figure pack should be exactly what you're looking for to start your collection.

Featuring reluctant hero Bilbo, company leader Thorin, ''Boy Band'' Dwarves Kili and Fili and the headbutt-tastic Dwalin - all complete with weapons and accessories and sporting some superbly realistic sculpting - the Collector Pack is available now through Entertainment Earth at the remarkably low price of just $29.99 (+S&H) - that's $6 a figure! But act fast, as The Hobbit toys are set to be this year's must have collectible figure line.
