Everybody is referring to the superior HDzeta release but when trying to sell the full set, nobody wants them apparently ;)
They don't, no lol because they cost a fortune for a 2 slip OC and the FS' are absolute trash. The boxes are beautiful, however, and the SL are the perfect single edition imo.
 
Seeing them all together, these are defnitely a mixed bag. It's baffling to choose Frodo again for the single leni and it makes Legolas for the Two Towers seem completely random. I was hoping for Aragorn or Gandalf. The front of ROTK steel looks great thankfully, but then the back is awful. It's like they just paused the battle at a random point and thought, well that's good enough. Blurry and ridiculous. I do think there's something to like with each of these editions though, and the OC's together look stunning of course. I'll wait till I've got ROTK in hand before making up my mind on these, but Blufans have made some strange choices and I think these could have been, and perhaps should have been, much better.

Also, has anyone else got the same numbered editions? My FOTR and TTT are both different numbers, but in the vid they've managed to get them all the same.

Nope all mine are different, I must admit I was disappointed they didn't keep matching serials.
 
This arrived yesterday. Still undecided on what to do with these. Haven’t opened them yet and tbh thinking of selling to just get my money back. Really happy with the Zeta OCs at the end of the day

Got a PET with it but nothing for Two Towers yet. Guess that’s arriving separately

I'm in the same boat with my OCs, although they haven't all arrived yet. I'm really not sure that I want them.. the only bits I quite fancy are the boxes and the FS' tbh.

I'm actually pretty happy with the whole set, yeah it's not perfect but neither is any other version.

The one easy change I'd make is swapping the images on the DL, the titles should have gone with the posters and the composite should have been clear as it's one large image for the whole trilogy.
 
Has anyone got the correct one, has blufans CS have said that it is the Correct slip for ROTK.
I've seen 2 people with the correct slips. Your's is not right. You've got 1 FOTR & 2 TTT slips. If you had 2 FOTR slips, you could in theory flip one around for it to be correct for ROTK. It should look like this...
