== Tengwar Version of Sting ==

The Tengwar version of {{Card|5R116}} is also from the [[Towers Block]] but it the only Towers Block Tengwar card not included the The Two Towers Anthology. Instead, {{Card|5R116}} was awarded as prize support but it caused some confusion because it had incorrect collectors information.

|title=The Tengwar Sting: Confused About Collector's Info?
|source= [http://web.archive.org/web/20041027123826/http://www.decipher.com/content/2004/03/033004lotrtengwarsting.html Confused About Collector's Info?]
|text=During the months of February and March 2004, a Tengwar version of Sting, Baggins Heirloom, replaced the standard prize support for all Lord of the Rings TCG sanctioned tournaments. Some sharp-eyed prize recipients have noticed that the collector's info on their copy reads "4 R 100" – which does not match the original English version, which came from Battle of Helm's Deep and read "5 R 116". Compounding the confusion, the images of the card posted on DGMA.com and decipher.com showed the correct info, "5 R 116," leading players to believe that there is a printed Tengrwar Sting card available with the correct information.

We'd like to clear up the confusion. All copies of the Tengwar version of Sting, Baggins Heirloom, were printed with incorrect collector's info (4 R 100). There is no printed version with the correct collector's info of 5 R 116 (and no plans to reprint the card).
