can we get the LOTR trilogy in steelbooks in the uk? - Blu-ray Forum

Brightstar · 11-23-2012, 10:10 AM

I already have the EE box set but was wondring if the uk would ever do a lord of the rings trilogy in Steelbooks? The hobbit might get one in the future but it would be nice to see LOTR on steel .

Remember LOTR in the UK is released by EiV who upto now have never done a BD Steelbook I believe. There is the petition thread here for EiV to do a Dredd Steelbook but no sign of that.

The Hobbit is an MGM / Warner co-production so looks like one of them will distribute in the UK and they are both Steelbook friendly.

Check your local Best Buy. All three were available earlier this week at mine. They may also be available online.

This is the british forum, and the thread title says "in the UK". We don't have a "local Best buy"

My mistake. I was honestly under the impression that there were Best Buys in Europe. Still, they should be available at BestBuy.com. Does Best Buy ship to Europe? This is an assumption, but the box set is region free, so I doubt the singular titles are region locked.

I'd prefer Digibooks

a film as beautiful as this practically lends itself to the digi format

We used to have Best Buys in the UK, but they failed so withdrew from the market. You cannot ship from BestBuy.com to the UK...

That's too bad. They are 9.99 (American) here for each steelbook. I don't know what it would cost to ship them internationally, but if a collector really wanted them, it doesn't seem overly expensive.

Did we ever get an Exclusive release with Best-Buy UK? I can't think of any.

Kurgen1975 · 12-03-2012, 05:20 PM

You could always import them?

No, they only had a few stores in the UK. Wouldn't have been worth it for any distributors. Shame most things are HMV only really, they could do with some competition.
