Nope, TSR was never legally allowed to anything from Tolkien Enterprises. All the rights were sold to Iron Crown Enterprises; they published them in their Middle Earth Role Playing Game which came out in the early 80s (I believe). So the guy above is correct, to get "offical" stats you'd have to find the old MERP rules and then use a conversion to AD&D. However, if you can't find anything satisfying on that, I wrote a LOTR campaign setting for my group a while back, I can dig it up and post what my stats were for the Nine Walkers if you want. Just lemme know.
