Well, I believe we had around the same amount of merchandise for FotR alone...

but the quality of TH merchandise does appear to have gone way down. The action figures look like cheap Happy Mean toys, IMO (though am still going to pick up some of them), and the video game spin-offs are fremium things. As for the trilogy thing, oh yeah, they appear to be milking it IMO...but who knows...perhaps when all is said and done, we'll look back and wonder how they ever thought they were going to fit everything in just two movies? :)
My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit" 5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck 4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot 3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan 2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate 1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!
