Come on though. It's not like the logos will be all over the front cover. But I do get your point.

Black? They look a little green to me.

*shrugs* I can't tell who is, or isn't joking anymore when they use the word green.

Sutter was asked in the slipcase thread and confirmed that they are black.

I like the look of it very much, and am looking forward to owning the set.

I'm still trying to figure out how there's 5 discs in 1 case, especially with that booklet being in there.

I would guess VIVA Elite 5-Disc Blu-Ray Case, but in this case, black instead of blue.

So the DVD's are in a case with the 2 movie Blu Ray discs? Nice, I was afraid we would get alot of cases which would take up a huge amount of shelf space.

Awesome, thanks!

So just 2 weeks till this comes out.

I am really looking forward to this. I have all the various DVD version (had them and ebay'd them) and bought the BD TE the day of release.

I've been itching to watch these so just need to wait 2 weeks! Even with the "green" issue (or non-issue) I can't wait to get these!

Ive decided im getting this set, green tint or no green tint. exchange or no exchange. The thought of wating for the next box set would be too much.

[Jumpman]

I honestly don't particularly like a lot of things with the last two films but those pics of the case and the contents inside swayed me to go ahead a get this in two weeks.

It's almost a given that I won't get the Hobbit films when they debut on Blu Ray in a few years so I might as well get while the getting's good.

Those look like the same inserts included with the DVD EE's. Overall, I like the packaging, but the EE Alan Lee paintings would have been a nice inclusion.

Those paintings are also the reason why I'm not giving up my DVD EE's.

[Mavrick]

Mmm, hopefully identical to the UK set, will be my 1st black amaray if they are

Here's hoping there in the inserts somewhere (as, even though the bonus discs are the same I assume the inserts would need to be slightly tweaked for height reasons).

I love the look of the DVD EE's (not just the Alan Lee paintings, but the way the entire packaging works so well together) so I'll be holding onto my set for quite some time (heck I just finally picked up the box that was offered well after all 3 individual volumes came out)
