Spring 2002 League Kit
Shortly after the release of The Lord of the Rings TCG in November 2001, the first League Kit was released by Decipher in January 2002[1]. Kits could be ordered by retailers and Product Champions for $35 (plus $5+ for shipping)[2] and contained the following:
- (1) The Lord of the Rings TCG League poster
- (1) Promotional window cling
- (1) League Encounter stamper
- (1) Ranger's Logbook
- (18) Ring-bearer's Journals
- (18) The Prancing Pony (0P1) alternate image site cards
- (18) Council Courtyard (0P4) alternate image site cards
- (18) Balin's Tomb (0P6) alternate image site cards
- (18) Galadriel's Glade (0P8) alternate image site cards
- (18) Fireworks (0P3) preview gameplay cards
- (18) Bill the Pony (0P2) preview gameplay cards

- (18) Book of Mazarbul (0P7) preview gameplay cards
- (18) Phial of Galadriel (0P9) preview gameplay cards

According to the Ranger's Manual included with the League Kit, it was intended for each of the included promos to be handed out over 4 months to up to 18 participants, one at the start and one at the end of each month of activity based on participation with various community-building activities. Each community member would be issued a Ring-bearer's Journal for tracking their personal progress. Whether each local Product Champion fastidiously held to these instructions is an exercise left to the reader.
