Why they haven't do some great caskets as was done for the versions on DVD of LOTR???

They have done it, but on the dvd version, not on the bluray.

Thanks for the pics Marc! This looks really nice, expensive but that's the usual for Japanese releases.

Hi, thanks for the pics, two questions come to mind. Would you say this would fit (without the booklet of course) a jumbo steel? Because this looks excelent as a cover for the jumbo UK steelbook. And second, were customs too high on this?

Thanks!

I tried with my copy, and if the jumbo UK steelbook is the same size as the Up FS jumbo steelbook, then it doesn't fit in the sleeve

actually not the same, this one is very slim, it has all disc, but not as thick as the japanese one

I really don't know if it is the same size as that steel, but ain't all jumbo steel books G2 the same?

I got my copy this week and it is everything I hoped. This is the definitive set for the The Hobbit: EE. So much better than the steelbook.

By the way, does anyone know what's on the bonus DVD that comes with this set?

With my LOTR Jumbo from Future Shop, it DOES fit... but you'll have to struggle to get it in (and damaging your jumbo by the same) and good luck getting it out... so in the end... NO!!!

And second, were customs too high on this?

I'm in Canada and it's really rare to get hit by customs... in the UK, I know it's almost certain...

I didn't Watch more than 5 sec... but seems to me it's the video blog. Maybe the newer... but still... didn't really check...

It looks like the live event that was held in March when the theatrical version of The Hobbit came out.

I totally love the art, but sad that it's not a steelbook

 

[rbarnes182]

Has this sold out?

 

[stonedm1980]
