If we didn't last time i'd say it's almost a definite no this time.

Agreed but I actually prefer the 3D package as they will likely only charge £15-18 for it and once you sell off the 3D discs you end of with a pretty bargain price for Extended Edition 2D BD and Bonus Discs.

Looks like I'm going to be importing the US 2D version - would prefer the slimline packaging to match my copy of the first film.

Marcus Aurelius · 08-05-2014, 08:23 PM

I wouldn't mind a Smaug miniature....

And after that one of Ancalagon. There is the scope in the Silmarillion for an extended TV historical series.

I sure hope so, because this price is ridiculous!

I cannot see a price on Amazon. What is it ?

It was £35 which of course was just a temporary price, they have now removed the price but as I suspected they have also changed the title to include 3D.

I am certain it will be a repeat of last year with the UK getting a single 5 disc extended edition release including 3D and 2D with it costing between £15-20

Marcus Aurelius · 08-06-2014, 06:31 PM

Thanks a lot Indy. Sounds more reasonable at that price range. Although if there is a limited edition figurine and it is of a sufficiently high quality I would be tempted to go for it. I missed out on the Argonath unfortunately.

Albatross365 · 08-06-2014, 07:10 PM

Just checked the Unexpected Journey EE.

Bought it for £16.99 from Amazon although I only paid £10.49 - it says I got a promotional discount. Can't remember what it was. Probably a Lightning deal.

Sold the 3D discs for £12.70 on eBay so ended up with a free film plus money for nibbles.

Mavrick · 08-06-2014, 07:34 PM

Looking forward to this, sucks having to wait a year to see the film again, but I refuse to pay twice

The Apocalypse · 08-06-2014, 07:38 PM

Excellent. Can't wait to view this with my friend.

gavinh2008 · 08-06-2014, 10:02 PM

I bought the version that came out a couple of months ago but I haven't watched it yet. I went to see this in the cinema and enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to seeing this Extended.

Ste7en · 08-07-2014, 07:14 AM

I deliberately held off buying the regular edition, I foolishly bought the last one. Never again. I'll wait for the extended cuts from now on

levcore · 08-07-2014, 07:55 AM

A lot of you have way more willpower than I. I bought the theatrical Unexpected Journey, then traded it when the EE came out and I've bought the theatrical DOS with the intention of trading it. I've watched in about 6 times on Blu since i bought it and can't wait to see it again with the added footage!

Ste7en · 08-07-2014, 07:40 PM

Plenty of stuff to watch in the meantime. Besides, it just popped up on Netflix UK

Desolation of Smaug, or An Unexpected Journey?

Because AUJ has been on there a while.

Edit: wow, just checked and it's Desolation of Smaug. Awesome. This'll tide me over until the EE is out on Blu-ray

TheHutt · 08-19-2014, 08:44 AM

Somehow there still seems to be no preorder for the UK version. I am most eager for the DVD digipak, but the Amazon.co.uk preorders are still non-orderable.

And that despite other countries where the SEE is already listed: USA, Germany, France...

Wow! Martin Freeman looks *so much* like Dr Zachary Smith in that clip it's uncanny!

Still 3 months away yet so plenty of time, just need to be patient

Rincewind78 · 08-31-2014, 05:37 PM

Really want the 5 disc edition.
Would always prefer the 2D versions, but there wasnt one for UE:EE, so will get the 5 disc version to match the last one.
