The trilogy as one boxset or the individual releases of each film?

The box set

[MetalMike]

Ordered the box set from Amazon. I'll get it tomorrow. Really hoping I get a good set that isn't damaged. I've seen some complaints of people getting theirs damaged.

Besides that, this is a blind buy for me. I've never seen any of the LOTR movies. I know I'll be happy. I have no doubt. The Hobbit really brought me over to LOTR and this set looks pretty badass.

Can't wait to start watching tomorrow.

I've ordered LOTR Extended Bluray set during the Gold box deal from Amazon.com for $37.99 plus another movie with Expedited International Shipping (shipping alone was $24 lol) to me here in Egypt.

Estimated delivery was Aug. 6 - Aug. 20 when I placed the order but when it is shipped, it said Sept. 5 !

I contacted Amazon support and they said the package should arrive well before that date and they refunded me the $24 shipping

Now I can't find the LOTR set sold by Amazon at all. It is only available from 3rd party sellers FBA.

Now I am very worried. Did they just put it on sale to clear their stock preparing for another version of the disc set?
Could it be a re-issue for FOTR without the green tint problem ?

If that happens, will New Line or Amazon replace the older version with the new one for people who got the older one ?

I seriously doubt that.

I doubt it too and I don't there there is an issue with "green tint".

I personally don't have an issue with it, but it is there.

It's there, but very subtle.

It looks terrible on the screencaps on my non calibrated monitor, but in motion on my calibrated set-ups, it looks fine.

If your cyan is over saturated, it's going to be worse.

I don't think there will be any the heat as far as a reissue and remaster. I wouldn't expect the next big Boxset until the "mega" for both hobbit and LOTR extended editions. Even then the "green tint" I believe was done on purpose thus will not be removed.

The Green Tint "issue" is a non-issue for me. In fact I've never even heard about all the hoopla until reading through this thread. After watching the first half on FOTR (time constraints), the screen-caps make it seem worse than it really is. IMO it's not a big deal. If people are worried too much about it, the theatrical edition is 7 bucks on Amazon. I will say, yes, there is a slight "tint" to the picture but it flows well with the setting of the movie.

The Trilogy is a nice edition to my library even if it's 80 bucks.

I saw Return of the King in Concert at Ravinia near Chicago on Friday night like I had mentioned earlier, here's some pictures I took from it. I was about 3 rows from the stage on the left center side. I'll post a video later of the Lighting of the Beacons scene, it was INCREDIBLE.

You must've had neck ache from looking up at the screen and ear ache from being so close to the orchestra.

It really wasn't too bad, I'm zoomed in quite a bit on several of these shots. I wanted to be up that close anyway.

[MacEachaidh]

Would be a great experience, I reckon.

Was that Howard Shore conducting?

No, his name is Ludwig Wicki. He did a fantastic job and I believe he conducts nearly all of the LOTR concerts worldwide.

Thanks for that BG. I suppose it'd be too much for Shore to do them, and attend to his regular work as well, but I wasn't, ummm, sure.

No problem . I'll try and post that video when I'm home from work..I didn't realize when I was taking it on my phone that I had the video quality set to 4K resolution, so I had to figure out how in the world I was going to upload a 700 MB, 2 minute video first.

LOTR in 4K!!!!
