Most likely I will just pre order the limited edition set with Bilbo's trunk

The art is pretty lame in my opinion.

Yes this IS one I'll still get with my son now working on 2 & 3 feel sort of honour bound. The sad fact is and I hate to admit it but I fell asleep in middle of this one (mind he wasn't working there then) !! Hope they keep it to 4 discs in a thin case.

 

[Scrubbedup]

This information would be much more pertinent if this wasn't a 5 disc set.

In that case it can only be a jumbo. Has it been confirmed as 5 discs?

 

[Harpua626]

Not really feeling the artwork on this one. Much prefer the futureshop original steel. May just get the regular EE release and use the FS case for it.

 

[SlyFondle]

The cover's even worse than the Zavvi 'Thor', it looks as though Martin's been to the joke shop

forget the art! the movie is lame! lol

Amazon have updated their listing which now confirms that this has five discs. Unless a new 5 disc holder has been produced for G2 Steelbooks, this is G1 or Jumbo

 

[nutcaseshy]

The standard extended DVD is listed at £24.99 & 3D blu-ray at £29.99. Wonder what price the steelbook will be listed at.

I like the art, now I only hope that it will be a normal Steelbook.

 

[Kashby]

I would rather a Normal Steelbook but not fussed if its a jumbo I'm just gratful that the uk are getting 3D, blu ray, DVD, uv, digital copy and special features all in 1 Steelbook which is a rarity these days.

 

[Sargast]

Indeed. Now it's only a matter of having amazon putting the darn thing for pre-order!

 

[Kurgen1975]

The standard extended DVD is listed at £24.99 & 3D blu-ray at £29.99. Wonder what price the steelbook will be listed at.

Just pre-ordered the Standard 3D Extended for £18. It's cheaper than the DVD!

 

[Hep]

Ewww, I'll pass on this for the horrible artwork. I'd like to have the extended edition, but I'm happy to wait for a better SB.

 

[TobJoDaJes]

Wish this would hurry up and go live!

 

[BDDB]

Can't stand the photoshop artwork, think I will wait and see what the rest of the world comes up with.

I've been wonderin for a while now, but i actually think 4 discs is not the maximum possible for a G2 steelbook - i think the actual maximum is 6 discs - a double tray on the left, a double tray on the right, and a back to back double flipper tray in the center

 

[Flloydo]

This just came up on zavvi for £34.99.
Think ill wait until after Christmas for the price to drop a bit.

That would be better if they done that but Warner brothers gave us a jumbo steel for batman begins and dark knight which was also 5 discs.

Don't understand why they put Elrond & Galadriel... we see them for what? 2 min in the movie?
