LOTR Limited Edition 3-Pack $19.96 Wal-Mart YMMV
My local Wal-Mart just replaced their display of Christmas movies with a section of various box sets (some actor specific, some series specific). There were quite a few, but the one that jumped out at me was the Lord of the Rings Limited Edition set (the sets containing both the theatrical and the extended versions) for $19.96. I didn't get a chance to check out the display in detail, so I don't really remember the prices on the others.

Is the price for ALL three ($19.99 total) or each ($19.99 x 3) ?
Probably pointless for me to ask anyways since I already snagged all three (the 4 disc set) priced at $9.99 each down at Circuit City (includes Golden Compass Pass--and despite what critics say, I enjoyed the film, actually even more so than I Am Legend).

I just picked this up at my local WM store. I already have the three big extended sets, and thought about picking these up in the past, but for only $20 I had to finally pick these up. Thanks to the OP!

In August 2007, I was lucky enough to notice that Circuit City had all three four-disc versions for $8.99 each (i.e the Platinum Series Special Extended Edition for $26.97).
Maybe wait a few months to see if they offer the three movies again at that price?
It's too bad these sales can't last longer so more people can take advantage of them, though I've seen some of them for under $13 new - if you search around.
I guess it depends on whether you prefer seeing the extras or the original theatrical release.

However, the supplemental materials on the other two discs in each EE are simply the best batch of features I've ever seen*. I bought the various production diary and three-disc versions of King Kong just for the extras, since the movie itself was a big, honking, self-indulgent wankfest by Jackson.
I haven't watched all the extras from the new Blade Runner yet, but it'll be hard to top the 18 hours or so of goodies on the LOTR EEs.

Picked up LOTR at the W11 store in Eugene. The one closest to me was sold out.
Also went ahead and got the Audrey Hepburn Collection for $19.96 as well.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
Gonna ask a stupid question...
What's on the "Die Hard" set? Is it just the movies or it's it the former two disc SE for each film - as in double sided discs for each flick?
Now a normal Q.
I would like to pick up the LOTR set, the newer extra sound interesting. But what has disappointed me was that none of the advertising was part of the individual box sets; no trailers or teasers. Does this re-re-release have them? Trivial since my store has sold out.
Oh yeah, there is another set for the same price. A three-pack of the "Austin Powers" films.

As far as I know, the Die hard set is just the movies. Very little information on the package.
As far as the LOTR movies, all they are are the "limited editions" which are the theatrical and extended versions of each film. The only extra is a documentary by Costa Botes on each film. I picked them up for 7.50 each with free tickets to Golden Compass back before Christmas.
