[B]Yep, about $60 for the box set - meanwhile, you can buy each individual release for about $15 (making that $45 total).

And New Line has stated that they'll provide the box for those who've already purchased the titles individually. Very classy.

Man, these Lord of the Rings discs (in every variation) really do DVD right. I can't really fault them in any way.





wait can you or someone confirm this please, newline will send you the trilogy box if you send them what proof of all 3 dvd's, does anyone know how that works and when did they say this

these look very high quality, and he has to make money some how.

The RotK DVD Media Kit (available to most retail outlets) said that the trilogy box would be available for those who purchase RotK: Theatrical Version. I don't think you have to prove you bought all three. It will probably be a mail-in offer included in the RotK DVD.

I'm sure they'd be happy to send the box to those who haven't yet purchased the other two titles, since having the box with two empty slots will likely encourage people to buy the other discs.

well i already pre - ordered it from columbia house, hopefully this information will be inside the dvd, thanks

Have we got any further info on this yet? I'd like to know something solid before i preorder.

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.
