i thought this was up before but did a search and couldn't find it. it says each one is a pre-order and will be released 1/17.
are the actual dvds sealed in the inside? I have the regular versions but would like the extra things that come with the gift sets and would turn them around on eBay or something similar. also, are the statue type things worth it? are they good quality? And finally, are there any buy.com coupons floating around? thanks for any help, sorry for a possible duplicate post.
edit: well it looks like a universal price drop, the sets are about the same price at ddd and overstock.

darn it, got the extended sets from Amazon market place... i would have jump on this deal, i believe it was posted before. Oh, i believe some of you got a 10% coupon lfrom buy.com? Well, they missed me very much, so i got one, but couldn't find anything to buy. The firefly deal was sweet before, but didn't get the coupon then, darn it.

Or, if you need all 3, you could get them for $58.49 shipped here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000654ZK0/ref=pd_ys_pym_a_2/104-5960359-4088724?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=130) at Amazon.

OP is posting the Gift Sets, not just the extended editions that are available at Amazon and Best Buy. The Buy.com deal is the better deal if you don't own these yet.

Two Towers is slightly cheaper at amazon, but the others don't seem to have the price drop there..
this is really a tremendous deal/drop on these gift sets..

Best Buy with have the EE's only, http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=451886
,not the giftsets.
The Best Buy deal is for those who don't want the giftsets, but only the EE's, and don't want to deal with shipping, etc.

Anyone know if it's still possible to get that big box that holds all three extended editions? That's the only downside I see to getting the gift sets - no box!

well, i went ahead and ordered the two towers set from amazon.com for $21.99 -$1.00 for one of those burger king f4 cards...gollum/smeagol is my fav character and i can probably pass on the other stuff
is the dvd shrinkwrapped inside of the box?

Yes, discs are shrinkwrapped, same as if you bought them sans statue.
