have not heard anything yet just hoping

At the press conference New Line said that they'd make the box available to everyone who bought Return of the King. They're planning a collection for the EEs, too - expect a mail-in certificate for both versions.

Does anyone know if this is still happening? I bought my ROTK yesterday and couldn't find any mail-in certificate or anything like that.

Hmmm the last interview I saw (very recently) with a New Line PR guy said that the only difference between the individual releases and the boxed set was the box, and that the box wouldn't be available separately. I'll see if I can find a link to the interview (forgot where I read it).

Am i the only one who thinks the box is butt ugly? It's cheap flimsy cardboard and just displays the covers of the 3 movies a few times. Now if it was classy and just had... say a solid color with the title The Lord of the Rings and maybe a picture of the ring on it, that would be something worth wanting.

I have not bought any of these DVD's yet, because I've waited for a boxed set of the EE's. Hopefully when it finally comes, it will be a good one.

And I agree, the sleeve containing the TE's is not very attractive.

They had originally planned to make the box available, but now it looks like they aren't going to.

There's another thread where you can get really gorgeous metal boxes to fit the trilogy from Paul Champagne.

Oh, heck, here's the link (LotR is about mid-page):

For only $30 it's worth it if you're a big fan of the trilogy:

No, you are not - I saw it yesterday and thought that it looked like shit. I didn't understand what the fuss was about.

Yeah, the box is clown shoes.

Get the Champagne box above. It's a class act, and it was satisfying to slide the third set into it, thus completing the trilogy.

Yeah . . . I've been considering that, but I only own the EE's which are already in boxes, so I don't know if I'll even bother getting a seperate box.

We'll see . . . http://www.mindspring.com/~boycekb/i...lies/Shrug.gif

Well, I might, if he got the verse right on the spine. But as it is, that would just bug me way too much, so I'll pass.

For any Canadians who want the box, Rogers Video is giving away the box as a gift when you purchase RotK.
