Keep in mind it is the holiday shopping season and the popularity of this series will continue to sell, most physical media consumers have some or all 8 seasons already, and the 4k complete sets have been reported to have some playback issues.

Yeah I agree, all of that makes sense. I'm hoping to pull the trigger soon. I'll see what happens.

Is that 7600 world wide or just for the US?

Based on the recent UK photos, looks like Best Buy is limited to 7600. International versions are likely available in a smaller unmarked number, but in addition to, the U.S. sets. Just my .02 Euros.

Not sure if it’s been brought up but the plastic housing for the discs are extremely tight in this set. I’d recommend everyone check their entire set for cracked discs. I just happened to throw in Hardhome from S5 to see/hear how this turned out and it started pixelating like mad. Figured something must’ve been on the disc but upon inspection noticed it was actually cracked near the center. Thank God I noticed it and was able to hit BB for an exchange as I don’t make a habit of inspecting discs after a purchase. Would’ve sucked to notice this a year or so from now when I revisit the series and be out one disc from a $230 set. Needless to say this was a wake up call for me to physically check each disc immediately after a purchase going forward. .

I think there might actually be more of the international version. Amazon UK, Zavvi, HMV and Warner Bros. Shop UK have huge inventory of these. Amazon France has 611 copies at time of writing. I don't think this set is going to be hard to obtain, and could well see substantial discounting in the near future.

Thank you for assisting in the efforts to track available inventory on this limited, but not too limited set. There is a huge number of potential buyers in the world, but the price is high, and the quantity is sufficient for the short term. How short that is and how willing the warehouses are to commit long term storage space will be realized sometime before the end of 2021. WB did a great job of making enough of these to meet demand through the holidays without shortages and third party sellers catapulting prices. I got the Warner Bros. Shop UK cart up to 76 before it stopped allowing me to add more.

I have seen the steelbook sets pop up now and then on Best Buy's website, generally found for in-store pick up though. It would not surprise me if more are planned since it sold so well but I could be wrong. I know that Halloween 4K steelbook sold very well and then sold out, prices jumped to $50+ on eBay, and last week more were released to Best Buy stores at the original $19.99 price point and are quite easy to find right now. But then again, the LOTR set is certainly a bigger more expensive set to produce so there could be more or there may not be but keep an eye on their website.
