That's because you're only read 50 pages.

I would therefore suggest that a "Lord of the Rings" line would be far more
appropriate for TLG to be developing. The film is due for release in
December 2002. It is truly fantasy based, mediaeval, full of knights,
wizards, castles, dragons, etc.. I agree that the size of the Hobbits could
be a problem, but what the heck, they are fantasy figures, so there is more
scope for imagination.

Well, they could definitely do it with, say, minifigs for the hobbits and
creator-scale figs for everyone else...
