*** Official FOTR: Extended DVD Edition Thread (New packaging & Disc Artwork!) (1 Viewer)

What this means is that when you eventually have all 3 4-disc sets on your shelf, they'll have a comprehensive look, and all the content is designed to integrate perfectly. So you really will have a DVD encyclopedia on the creation of this trilogy.

Bill, thanks for the insider's peek. Have they been reading my mind?

I'm going to have to set aside a special budget, shelves, and time for all of this extravaganza. I really have to commend New Line and Peter Jackson...they've set the paradigm when it comes to pleasing their fans.

Totally bitchen'
This set is mine on November 12th.
This and AOTC=Orgasmic moan.

I know now why the 4-disc/5-disc editions don't feature all the stuff from the 2-disc.
While I'm pretty sure all the trailers and TV-spots will be there, the rest of the material is really boring. I'm glad I have it just for having the theatrical cut. I'm more inclined to get the 5-discer now...
Is that a moth flying out of my wallet?

 

[Todd Schnell]

Beautiful indeed!
I am going to have a hard time resisting the gift set.

Something else you guys should know... I've been told by the DVD producer for this title that the 4-disc sets for the next two movies have already been planned to the hilt as well. What this means is that when you eventually have all 3 4-disc sets on your shelf, they'll have a comprehensive look, and all the content is designed to integrate perfectly. So you really will have a DVD encyclopedia on the creation of this trilogy.

Great news!

I agree with you 100%! That's why I only rented the theatrical cut.
Actually, the trailers and TV spots might not be on this release. Can anyone help me out? Either way, I don't mind. Once is enough.

I think I will create a seperate shelf just for The Lord of the Rings DVD's and use the bookends to hold them up.
What What....Do I hear my wallet yelling for help??

 

[Paul McElligott]

Well, the 4/5 disk sets will definitely not have a trailer for the 4/5 disk set. And by that time, TTT will only be a month away. Besides, the 2-disker was intended for the mass audience who may (or may not) be aware of TTT.
The 4-disk set is meant for those who already know we're going to see the TTT (and would already have our tickets for opening night we if we could). Why include a trailer for a pre-sold audience?

We're talking about the theatrical trailers here.

 

[Randy Korstick]

Gimme! Gimme! I gotta have that 5 disk set!

Sorry I couldn't add anything more intelligent to this post but there is too much drool in my mouth right now.

 

[Patrick Scott]

I think you might be looking at the DVD of the year!!

Can't wait.

I asked this in the 2 disk thread but didn't get an answer Re: The Argonath Bookends - How is the quality of Polystone? Is there a possibility that they could end up partly broken through the mail? Causing a lot of angry people? Or is the material strong?

 

[Werner_R]

looks absolutely gorgeous ! This will be the crown jewel of my dvd collection

 

[oscar_merkx]

still in shock at how beautiful these 4 / 5 disc set looks
they will be mine

 

[Patrick Mirza]

Sweet!

 

[Frank L]

If those are true that's awesome... that's an Alan Lee painting if I'm correct. Looks good.

We need more!!

 

[Michael Martin]

SCHWING!

New Line, once again, thanks for a tremendous job on creating a fantastic package and feel for a great film.

 

[Allan Petersen]

OH MY GOD!
Time to place that preorder...

 

[John Berggren]

Those are beautiful. What I really want to know is what the bookends are made of.
