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.

These are just over $8 each at the SAMS in my area for the free ticket versions. They also had Pan's Labyrinth 2 disk SE with free ticket.

For those who might be interested, the Planet off the Apes set is the awful Tim Burton "reimagining" along with the original POTA and Beneath the POTA.

Also saw a Audrey Hepburn 5 movie set for $19.96. It contains: Funny Face - SCE, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, Sabrina - 1954, and Paris When it Sizzles.

All the sets I saw are slim pack cases in outer cardboard containers (except for LOTR which is the regular packaging for the "new" seamless branching versions in a paperboard bottom tray type holder, and Rocky which is a "standard" case).

Saw a couple of the LOTR sets this morning. Already having both the 2-disk and 4-disk sets, I saw no reason to buy it.

Mistake in not watching em, they're vastly superior to their Theatrical cuts.

I really want to see that documentary. I never, ever wanted to pay that MSRP though. Now the price is right, and I want this so bad. Stupid question, but do you have to pay to be a member's of Sam's club? And why the hell isn't this reflected on their online price?

yes ,sam's club is a pay-membership warehouse, just like costco. the price probably isn't reflected in their online price because the "deals" in the warehouse are only good for pay-membership customers, an incentive for joining. i think it's like $25 for a year membership? not quite sure...
