So much for saving money with Play and HMV going

 

[liammurphy1985]

Does anyone have any idea where this will be available? In store/online?

 

[digitalbabe]

No info yet, Liam-stay tuned

The 2D gandalf should be thorin oakenshield, like Imax did with the posters.

Thats already 1 months steelbook budget, we shall see. I wonder if it is random when you order what you get or if you can specify

 

[digitalbabe]

ML, I think they will have 3 different listings to create excitement and predictability. Otherwise, if someone wanted all of the covers, there would be no way to know if you just received a random cover. Hopefully they are as nice as they look in the slick!

 

[mllNY]

Thats what I am hoping, but do you remember the US release for the girl with the dragon tattoo...

 

[digitalbabe]

ML-yeah, we've all seen our share of mixed up listings at retailers all around the world. Lets hope it's simple-distinct listings so they can capitalized on us Steelbook and LOTR nuts!

 

[mllNY]

there was no mixup, they have 4 distinct sets of disks in the packaging and you radomly got one of them, no way to tell. Drove people crazy. Maybe warner will bring this set to the US side as well. Heres to hoping

 

[digitalbabe]

Ah, ok-I didn't purchase any version of that film and forgot all about that ed. Definitely not a good strategy with this, especially since people are so fussy with their covers. We'll have to see what they have in store...

My poor pocket

 

[mllNY]

but I wouldn't worry about this release because there are 4 distinct skus which means 4 distinct products, the worry has passed

Printed banner = no buy
But nice to see some other artworks for this film

[JakubAsgard]

These artworks look incredible! I am not a hardcore collector... but here I might think about buying multiple... because I really love the images!

 

[mragustus]

FNAC or Amazon?

 

[cooey]

Like the look of the 3D one!

 

[Monkey2005]

Fnac please

 

[CaptainCoffee]

Soooo intrigued. O_0

I pray these turn out as awesome as they look!!!

Easy pass. The studios are trying to milk the collectors. Too many.
