Very exciting. I'll probably open the 3D set and keep the regular 3 sealed!

 

[mr donkeymagic]

Sweet mother of Mary!! Thats 4 versions to get without including all the other worldwide releases!! Time to take advantage of a new credit card with 12 months interest free me thinks!! lol

 

[Kurgen1975]

And whats the 23% thingy all about?

Of the 3 2D editions available, thats the breakdown of the production run:

Bilbo 42%
Gandalf 35%
Gollum 23%

So expect there to be twice as many Bilbo's as Gollums out there!

 

[timban]

the 3D and Gollum versions for me....superb!!

 

[surfury]

Just a thought; how many pictures can a lenticular cover show ? Wouldn't be 3 by any chance ?

 

[pioupiou]

Very nice

 

[kensingtonite]

Damn! And I was really hoping I would only have to buy 1 copy of this movie. Wonder what the chances of it being released AGAIN somewhere down the line in an extended edition, and then we'll all have to buy MORE copies!

 

[ESM999]

I´ll be buying one of them....wait, I can´t live without the others, I am going to have to buy all four

 

[Uraki]

This is great news
Will be interesting to see how Warner will spread the distribution of the different versions. All widely available or different cover versions at different retailers ???
That's be abit of a nightmare for collectors
If this happens, will need to rely on Bidou/Moviestyle for some much needed service/support

 

[diegoandre23]

WOW!!!

Fantastic !!

G2!!

 

[sanjeebdeb]

WOW... Four versions... This is a good news and bad news situation.

Want all four but its gonna cost a lot..

 

[steelbook95060]

i NEED all of them

 

[Canuck]

Great news I think I'll take the lenticular one

 

[Scottyrnumber]

il have to have all 4 or maybe the bildo & golum 2D with the gandalf 3D.

will need to start saving though

 

[SlimJim24]

Definitely want the gollum. Maybe the lenti gandolf

Either way. Awesome to have options

 

[mams]

No. Expensive as always. I bet the 3D lenticular contains all three artworks.

I don't think so. Instead of three different artworks you may see Gandalf "in depth".
But I may be wrong...

 

[Eendje]

Need them all four!!

 

[rodtp]

That's awesome! I'm getting all of them for sure. You guys can be sure that this movie will have steelbooks popping up all over the globe. Prepare your wallet cause it will hurt.

 

[darczap]

Oh wow, this is a pretty cool set. French steelbooks

I will keep my eye on this and other worldwide releases and go from there.
