The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers: Pickers & Stickers Hot Shots Australia / Magic Box Int. - 2002
Notes: "Pickers" are a game, most popular in Australia, where discs with Velcro backs ("pickers") are picked up by a "bungee ball," allowing the player to gain points. You can think of them as the next generation of collectibles that might appeal to more than the Pog or milk-cap collectors of the 1990s. Distribution in packs includes not just the picker disks, but also photographic stickers (approximately 1-3/4" x 2-7/16") and cards (2-3/4" x 3-3/4") that act as visual checklists of the pickers and offer game-playing tips. None of the stickers have titles, and so the descriptions below are mine. Picker titles and descriptions were kindly provided (or corrected) by Alex Esparon, who also provided other updates (many thanks!). I will list the stickers and checklists first because these collectibles may be most attractive to traditional card collectors. Sticker backs sometimes show the "Lord of the Rings" logo and sometimes the "Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers" logo, but the sticker fronts all indicate The Two Towers. Some of the pickers are more scarce in packs than others, roughly indicated by the player-point values that are shown in the list, and others were only available in the K-Zone magazine or with accessory products.
