Absolutely - I'm not sure why people are worried or trying to figure out why it's that much. Amazon often have a high price at the start, close to the RRP of the set, whilst they work out what price they can offer it at.

I mean, the set hasn't even been officially announced yet so taking any price at face value is a silly thing to do.

Extended release is currently listed at £21.99 on both Amazon & HMV, if it ends up going below £20 on release I'll probably just get it then.
Last film, last boxset and won't have to think about it again (unless I pick up 1&3 theatrical cuts later, probably used at CeX).

This has got an R in the US. Because you know, most adaptation for classic children's literature should be restricted for 17's and over.

So the UK Edition is cut?!

I have Hobbit 1 and 2 EE 3D editions from the UK with Lenticular front slipcases and pre-ordered the 3rd one just yesterday but if it is cut, I will get the US edition.

It will most likely be identical everywhere, don't worry. The ratings may vary, though, as views on violence and what's appropriate can differ a bit between different cultures. For example, while it's rated R in the US, Germany's FSK (their equivalent of the MPAA) only gave it a 12. I don't think the BBFC have rated it yet.

Like MG said above, MPAA is funny when it comes to violence, and the rating does sound like it just tipped off the iceberg, I doubt this'll be cut because Desolation of Smaug EE got a 15, so it would be daft to cut it now.

Why would it be cut? It hasn't even been submitted to the BBFC yet. It's home video - if it has to be a 15 they won't care (as Foggy says, DoS was a 15 thanks to the extras). If this was a cinema release, different story - but then Warners wouldn't release an R rated version theatrically in the States either.

It might also just turn out to be a 12 in this country - it's been known for R rated films to be only rated a 12 by the BBFC, such as Terminator 3 or About Time. The two ratings agency aren't the same, they have different ratings, different criteria and different viewpoints.

Don't panic

Definitely a misprice, but worth a gamble since they bill you on dispatch. Dont forget code ZVC5 for 5% off

The coins look exactly the same as the ones already available except there are only 2 out of the 5. They are great but I don't think I'll be getting them as I already have the set.

TheHutt · 09-09-2015, 02:02 PM

They might look like the Noble Collection coins (more aged), but not like the Weta ones (which are rather shiny, and which I have).

Noble Collection: http://www.noblecollection.com/Item--i-PRP-HB-6087
Weta: https://www.wetanz.com/smaug-s-treas...ffiliate=14810

As for the image likeness - well, they are originating from the same prop molds, aren't they?

PS: as I see on the Certificate of Authenticity, these are in fact the Noble Collection coins.

r9800pro · 09-10-2015, 12:44 AM

Is the coin-set Edition worth the extra £5?

I don't have any of these coins.

TheHutt · 09-09-2015, 01:13 PM

These don't look like the Weta coins. A different replica?

They are very nice if you don't already have them.
