Hard to beat the Amazon STL price. However you need to purchase another item of at least a $1 to get free shipping included. Also you can save another 1.57% with the A9.com instant reward.

Wow, this title isn't due out until mid-December, right? It might be a bit too early to start posting the best prices.

That said, I think the Amazon STL price is very good.

thats funny I was coming here to post this cause a friend sent me STL on this, i thought 21.59 was a great preorder price, don't think any of the B&M's can beat this, 24.99 is probably as close as they can get.

I usually buy my LOTR DVDs through deepdiscountdvd.com via preorder, but I think I'll just bricks & mortar it this time.

I preordered both of the first LOTR Extended DVDs through Amazon with STL, and I remember that the price for each of them was just above $25 before STL was added.

ROTK:EE is actually a cheaper preorder at Amazon than the first two extended DVDs were!

Yes...I don't think the B&M's can touch this one as well...Great price and I will gladly give them my money (even though I will probably wait a little longer to get it).

Also, I wouldn't be suprised it Amazon raised their prices to 25.99 or so....

Amazon has recently raised prices on a few other pre-orders (Friends Season 8 and Batman:TAS Vol. 2). They may not honor the current price.

Giftset for me too! The Minas Tirith collectible looks very tempting.

I thought so too but with my bad memory, I wasn't going to put it into writing.

Amazon's the way to go. You can always cancel if the prices come down elsewhere (unlikely) or if they raise the price.

The best price I've seen so far for the giftset is $50 at FYE.

Amazon is still the cheapest /w STL after factoring in the shipping charge.

How do you figure? Looks to me like FYE is ~$22 (shipping included) while Amazon is $24.57 (shipping included) even with STL.
Even so, I will still use Amazon as I know if there is a problem it will be quickly handled with a minimum of fuss. I can't recall dealing with FYE. If I have it was long ago. Can anyone recommend them?

You will likely have to add sales tax to the FYE amount since they have B&M stores in most states. But for a few dollars more you would be better off purchasing from Amazon.

Actually, you'll only need $1.01 in order to qualify for free shipping. They calculate the free shipping before any coupon and discounts.

It might ask, but when you get to the checkout page it is actually less.
