Lord of The Rings EE Trilogy case kind of deceiving?
Yeah I know its just a box but from the pictures did anyone think it would be a little but more classy. In the pictures it looks alot better and I even thought it was cloth or may resemble burnt old paper but it just a hard box that looks almost nothing like the pics. Feel kind of stupid as I sold the DVD's to get the set because I thought the case look very nice but in person its very bland. Oh well just a minor gripe in a otherwise great purchase.

The box is similar to the previous EE boxes so it's pretty much falls in line with the set.
Sure beats a thin flimsly cardboard POS that most studios would put out.
Bummer that you sold the DVDs, as eau pointed out, you could've ordered just the box for $3 s/h

I still don't understand the real world purpose of this box, but for $3, I guess anyone will buy anything nowadays.

I think anyone who owns the books as a 3 or 4 volume boxed set understands why this DVD box is so darn important.
I've got the single hardcover LOTR in red leatherette among others but I will always remember the book as the LOTR paperback boxed set I've owned since 1979 (Gold Box).

I got the Jurassic Park box when Universal offered it and I am glad I did (there was an extra disc involved, too). Makes the set more "complete" if you will. However, I expect this to be shipped flat and you "pop" it up into box form. That's how the JP box came. It wasn't in the most pristine shape but I got over it.

If someone really needs the box explained - its purpose is to keep all three EE sets together. They tend to migrate otherwise. It also offers extra protection to the sets. And it looks neat.

Looking at it in the store though, it seems like it doesn't work with the outer sleeves already on the EEs. Am I wrong in this quick observation, or will there be three extra sturdy box sleeves sitting around?

I found that the boxes make a nice addition - and this one is worth 3 lousy bucks - hell I collect that in change by the end of the week.
Anyway, I turn the boxes from boxsets "spine-out" which adds a different look to my collection. This way you can view the artwork on the boxsets. You have to remove the whole box to get a movie out, but I've found you usually have to do this anyway to shake out a case.
