Slip looks great! I only wish it had been a slip box like the first and that the Steelbook was glossy like the first....:(

Passing on this as it's still the same dull matte steel under that lovely slip.
Will wait for the extended edition out later this year. Hopefully Japan do another great collectors edition for that. :p

IF the extended edition is going to have 5 discs like the 1st one then forget about a slim Steelbook. :(

Btw, I am reasonably satisfied with my custom glossed copy though the artwork suits LOTR better than Hobbit.

Maybe Warner will release LOTR Steels with Hobbits on the front and the back. :rolleyes:

the first one I didn't see any asian release of the extended version ????

I feel the same as you, I'd like to wait for the extended version, but do you really think we'll have an asian release this time around ? was there one the first time and I just don't know ? all I've seen with the first one is the UK release and canadian(future shop that was mislabeled in the # of discs)

apparently this is the shortest release in all of the lord of the ring series and hobbit movies so far

I was referring to a slip box with booklet & Art-card and an Amaray inside....(Japan Collectors Edition)

There was NO steelbook from Asia for the Extended Edition that I'm aware off.....;)

Nice pictures earthscope :thumbs:
The first steel was a beauty, shame about the 2nd :(
Still the slip looks decent, at least the spines match ;)

P.S. thanks for the pics hung17 :thumbs:

Yes the slip is nice on the 2nd...;)

Just a shame that TW didn't try to match the 2nd with the first (Slip Box wise) and it shows how terrible the finish is on the 2nd compared to the 1st....
WB are the worst...IMO :(

Yeh i agree ;)
WB are really poor of late... :(
Its a real shame about those slip/window box slips, i loved them but they got quite a bit of hate for some reason :dunno:
But still, its the best Hobbit 2 available ;)

Tell me about, most ppl disliked them and wanted the 1/4 slips and then when this comes out with a 1/4 slip they go wishing it was a fullbox slip instead :hilarious: :p

But still, its the best Hobbit 2 available ;)
It definitely is my friend, can't wait to add it to my TW collection... currently bundled with 42 Ronin so will have to wait a bit for ;)
