What's the deal with LOTR: EE price? - Blu-ray Forum

NYorker · 04-11-2012, 12:09 PM

I've been waiting for it to drop in price, but I've noticed it's climbed up to nearly£50! what's up with that...?

I was thinking about getting it, but not at that price.

What's the deal with being sarcastic...? just a simple question.

I'm sure a mod will merge this thread.

The set is expensive, especially compared to the theatricals, but you are getting all the extra content & better transfers. Around £16.66 a film isn't too bad.
Its a shame they didn't include the extras on a couple of Blu-rays in SD, instead of the 9 DVDs but at least you get the extra features discs from the extended DVD set & the Costa Botes documentaries.

The set has dipped down to £30 a couple of times, but usually springs back up to £40-£50

EDIT: By the way my purchase of the set, at £45, was softened as I traded in a few dusty 360 & PS3 games. So only ended up paying about £24.

It was £30 quite quickly too. I managed to snag one from Tesco's with Clubcard vouchers for £7. Which made me a happy camper. The set was well worth seven quid as the quality is superb. All we need now is a re-issue of the Fellowship theatrical!

And I need The Two Towers theatrical to complete the set.

You will probably need to wait to the end of the year around Christmas time. With Black Friday, Christmas, and the release of The Hobbit at theaters, I can see the proce dropping. I got mine last year around the first week of December for $50

And now:

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [Blu-ray]

amazon.co.uk: Available from these sellers.

I can't believe it! The most popular trilogy of all time, and I cannot buy the extended edition of TTT via Amazon. I cannot buy the extended edition of TTT via Amazon. Unbelievable!

chip75 · 04-20-2015, 07:45 PM

Why didn't you buy them when they were like £6? The Two Towers went down to £6.14, The Return of the King £6.16 and The Fellowship of the Ring was £3.24, it's now £4.24.

It sounds like it and the other releases are going OOP. The supermarkets sometimes have the full set on offer.

rapta · 04-20-2015, 07:51 PM

I suspect they will eventually release the trilogy as an all-BD set, like the separate re-releases but in a box set. Or even bunched with The Hobbit trilogy.

CouncilSpectre · 04-20-2015, 07:57 PM

A 'Middle Earth' box set is inevitable IMO. Just a matter of time.

*forgive my poor English*

Thank you for your responses. I don't care about the hobbit 'movies' at all. FOTR still has the green tint = no boxset for me. I've ordered TTT and ROTK from Amazon, but I got the dvd version of TTT last year. I sent it back etc. They sent the dvd edition to me again earlier this year, and after that TTT is OOP.

BUT

/rant on

We are talking about TTT now, about the TT! Is it really so hard to publish the extended films in Europe? They are not available in the UK/France/Germany/Hungary (where I live) etc. This is not ridiculous, this is pathetic.

/rant off

(I could buy the latest hobbit 'movie' in SIX different blu editions in Hungary. But I cannot buy the extended TTT.)
