The price hasnt yet been added on the listing but at least amazon has the image up now! Hopefully the price will come soon, and hoping so much it will be reasonable!!! I want this for christmas!!!! lol
 
well now we have to wait on the price....the set looks gorgeous.... but there are some negative things for this very important LE set... no 3d versions of the Hobbits...why??? they are not mentioned in the item details..are they planning to release another LE set for the 3d Hobbit films?? also the extras are still in DVDs??? come on Warner..are you kidding us? get rid of the DVDs and install them in BD...also for a LE expensive set they should also include the theatrical cuts....but of course we all knon the are gonna try and take all our Cash.....
 
complaining for the price of this set it just came to mind a fun fact from years ago when i was hunting every limited edition there was out there. i have paid for the LOTR chest set from Taiwan 550 and 650 euro respectively (i have 2 sets, one of them signed by Gimli..) so if you compare it with th 800$ for this then it sounds like a bargain for me...:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
For that kind of money you'd think Warner Bros. could put artwork on the discs for a change instead of that ugly black they seem to use all the time now.
