"Two Towers" Giftset, -Fifth disc details?
What exactly is on the fifth disc of the giftset, -in terms of features and specific running times? I've checked out many reviews but nobody seems to have actually watched it or provides more than a one-line description of the content...

DVD Talk Special Edition
i took the following info from this site:
http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews...ws.asp?ID=3769
which reviews the R4 dvd - which should be essentially the same as the R1 package...
DISC 5
Featurette - Film Collectibles: Capturing Movie Memories
There is only one featurette included on the fifth disc that is bundled in this Collector's Edition. It is a relatively brief 23:37 minute look at film collectibles (models and kits and the like) and in particular the way Peter Jackson and Weta Workshop decided to use their in-house artists to create a range of film collectibles for the whole trilogy, rather than licence that part of the merchandise to a third party. It starts off quite respectably, with a look at the large number of collectibles that both Jackson and Weta chief Richard Taylor own and the seemingly scary fanaticism they express over their horde. It then looks at the methods used by Weta to make the large variety of models and the input from the actors on each piece. Up to that point it is quite interesting, but unfortunately the last half reads more like an advertisement, encouraging you to part with further cash to complete your collection.

The little box and booklet it comes with is pretty cool though. But still not the equivalent (in terms of real value) that the Fellowship National Geographic DVD had.
But I'm pretty happy with the whole package.
