Konka is a manufacturer of computer peripherals, such as monitors.
this licensed set of 7 is one of the few licensed Chinese items I've been able to find.
The set of 7 came in a special envelope (see final picture).
The cards are unusually glossy.

I think Eagle's is a brand of tea. There is a photo of a box of Eagle's and a steaming cup of tea on the back of each postcard.

Chromos
I have no idea what Chromos was. There is no licensing info on the back of these postcards, but they do appear licensed.
I can't think of any fakes that came from France, and there is a postcard of Arwen in a dress that doesn't appear in the movies.
The back of each card is numbered.
One has number "36", so this may have been a fairly extensive series.
They aren't perforated, so don't seem to come from a postcard book.

ONE magazine
ONE magazine is a fabulous French magazine. Each issue is devoted to a single movie, and includes posters, postcards, perforated character cards, and complete articles and coverage.
They devoted several issues to the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
This is just a selection of postcards from some of the magazines.

seem to be free postcards similar to Boomerang.
This is one of my favorite sets of postcards. I like the style. They have a medieval feel, and are distinctly Italian.

the Royal Mail
the Royal Mail did a huge LOTR promotion, including a cash scratch-off promotion. They also retailed the Gemma greeting cards.
Some Royal Mail materials were also distributed in Welsh. I don't think the postcard was, but would love to lay hands on a copy if it was.

C&D Visionary
American licensee for postcards, decals,stickers, buttons, incense, and air fresheners.
These guys picked the most singularly bland images they possibly could.
Can't really expect more from a company who's product line tends towards "head shop" chic and Hot Topic. Yes, these were the cards your local teen elf fancier could buy , along with various piercing implements.
If you look closely, you'll note that Aragorn never appears on the Pelennor Fields with the Rhorrim army. This is an error. Looks good, though.

Now, on the other hand, the trading card publisher & distributor Decipher had access to fabulous pictures, and used them.
I particularly like the Warg Rider, and the hands of Sauron. What a great picture!!!!!
