Yes, but it's not in stock. If your order now then from their perspective you're preording for the next batch of release I guess.
Thank you @Doctor for your advice
Unfortunately problem still appears. I think it is just coding error in this particular disc in manufacturing process. I will return this and pre-order on Zavvi a new one.
Thank you @Felix_ro for your help and advice
Everything is compatible with everything if I can say that, making a long story short I guess my order from HMV wasn't so lucky and one of the discs was faulty with error coding. I am returning this box set as soon as I will recive new one from Zavvi. Thank you once again for your time and effort
Thank you @steelmybeatingheart for your good word and supportwelcome to HDN, @Arrival!. in those cases, it was actual coding errors in the disc in manufacture, rather than firmware or disc cleanliness issues (which as other Ninjas have said above, it can be). i hope you manage to get it sorted and/or replaced ASAP!
This is my first serious problem with disc. My movie library is very rich and everything playing flawlessly. But particularly this one (LOTR) I can't stand it. I have to admit I am really angry, especially after a long and ridiculous battle with HMV. But anyway, I will return this. Already pre-orderd on Zavvi. I'm praying for a good and free from defects copy 
i've got a reasonably sized collection, and this has only ever happened a few times, so you just got unlucky. fingers crossed you get a unblemished replacement.Thank you @steelmybeatingheart for your good word and support
@Arrival can you please confirm how the packaging from Zavvi was for this? Will it be safer to ship to US from Zavvi or Amazon IT? I have generally had a good experience with Zavvi (99.9% of the time) but have not ordered a box-set before. The rare occasion when things go wrong, they are very difficult to interact with for refunds and returns.
Amazon IT is not too good with packaging either....service is a little better but in case of damaged items, they ask for return at own cost and later reimburse shipping charges, which is also not very convenient!!

Hi @BaleHardy I would suggest avoiding Amazon from buying this kind of Blu-ray case if we are speaking about LOTR. Before December last year, I received a parcel in mint condition, but the Steelbook case was damaged, had a huge scratch on it, so it was returned at once as a damaged item without any additional cost (Amazon.co.uk). I don't know what's the pattern, but I saw many people with the same experience and problem, they just received damaged item. But The Hobbit case was in mint condition, also ordered from Amazon UK, so who knows what is going on. But this is only my experience.
The package from Zavvi in my opinion was OK but not perfect. Let's just say the box was sturdy enough for not too long shipment time. They just put LOTR Set into the box without any additional bubble wrap for safety and that's it. Thankfully an item arrived unspoiled Blu-ray are finally fine so I can own an undamaged copy
I have generally had a good experience with Zavvi (99.9% of the time) as well but sometimes they can be very difficult... If you are thinking about shipping to the US, it might be a little bit stressful for you, I think.
Anyway, good luck and fingers crossed All the best for you

They sold through the first and second waves of them.
I'd imagine there are manufacturing constraints on sets like these - that or they're clearing warehouse stock for replacements or returns before the announced complete Middle Earth collection that's coming out in the summer.
I prefer these tbh. HDZ sets are a massive let down. Hopefully they'll do Gold line releases in a couple of years to make up for it
