Has anybody bought this yet? Is it any good? Does it have some good shots of the movie? I saw it at costco but didn't get it . If it's worth it I'll get it asap. I have the National Geographic DVD from FOTR, is it simular to that one?


Thanks.

They showed it on National Geo. on Friday, but I missed it. I believe it re-airs on Jan 31st, if you're not sure you want to make a blind buy.

Anyone else? I'm really interested, too!

I know this has been posted before, but I will reiterate it for this thread. There is a sticker on the wrapping of the DVD (snapper case) saying that a $5 coupon is included inside towards a ticket for ROTK. It does not expire until January 17th. This may give some of you more of an incentive to buy.

Since Costco carries it, it may be at a decent price there. Anyone know how much it goes for at Costco, or even possibly Sam's Club?

Thanks
