Bilbo 3,709 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 No extra content makes it an easy pass. Would have been a dick move if it had new content but was being sold at this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 No, I mean, who's going to buy it? Why would you? Just buy the extended trilogies and the theatrical trilogies and you have everything at a fraction of the price. Theres nothing in this to really make it desirable.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If these were much more affordable people here would buy it even though they say they hate The Hobbit. And even though they already own each of the 6 movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If this box included BOTH versions of all six films on Blu-ray, ALL of the previous special features, AND additional deleted scenes/never before seen features, I'd CONSIDER buying it for $120. I have no interest in books, statues, wooden boxes, etc. That crap just drives up the prices on things I do want (like the Elfman/Burton box, which I did buy). This will eventually, a few years from release, be repackaged into a discount collection, like the Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle box was.

Barnald 365 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm quite into Blu-ray/DVD tat (so long as I like the film - I still have the Taiwan wooden chest set for LOTR) but this is absurdly expensive. And yes, knowing a proper ultimate boxset will most likely come in future makes it an even riskier prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Well, $800 is MSRP, so "retail"/Amazon will be a little better. Still a lot of money for a bunch of content we all have already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 365 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think the RRP on that deluxe Harry Potter set from a couple of years back was about $500, but it could be had for quite a reasonable price in the UK at one point. Of course, it remains to be seen if Warner will release this in the UK. If it looks as good as it sounds, and went down to about £150 at some point, I might consider it.

Barnald 365 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It looks very nice (though I'd have preferred different colour 'books', and proper disc trays), but no way does it justify the price. As I said, if it drops to about $200 I'll probably bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, let's face it, they're definitely going to release the films YET AGAIN, and this time, with additional bonus features. Only then will I consider buying such a massive set (which, hopefully, will look as great as this one). Can totally understand where you're coming from on that. It's a very nice set and there's s price I would pay for it simply because it looks so good. I'll happily wait for a better set if I have to though.

Incanus 5,713 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It does look good but is ridiculously expensive. If they re-did the LotR CRs and released them with the Hobbit CRs like this, I would buy them. Perhaps not for 800 $ though. I could certainly make due with something less extravagant than PJ chosen bookshelf and all the extra knickknacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The actual blu ray boxes look great, it's all the superfluous fluff I don't want or need that drives up the price.
