Brand New here, question about Collector Edition movies
|
Can't Post
|
|
I own dvds of LOTR over 10 years ago...
They have extended etc scenes, came with figurines, and they slip cases make them look like books.
I really like the look of these LOTR dvds (blu ray didn't exist when these came out!)
MY QUESTION; Are there versions of THE HOBBIT, that follow the same design (dvd or blu ray) ???
I would like them to be consistant so I can also display them.
Thank you!

There are special extended edition collector's versions, but they don't follow the "book" format of LOTR. You can find the Desolation of Smaug one here. The only place I found the Unexpected Journey one was one eBay, so it may be out of print. Warner Bros. didn't publicize these the way New Line did with the LOTR EEs. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately, its not the answer I want to hear :-(
At this point I guess I'll be holding out for the future possibility of a combined HOBBIT/LOTR blu ray package that maybe will be packaged better than a cheap plastic exterior!
So much effort went into the ART of the movie, it is an absolute shame that its thrown into a case like every other out there...

If you buy the Collector's Edition BR boxed sets and the UK DVD editions you can swap out the BR for the DVD - plus, download and print TheHutt's excellent exclusive booklets for AUJ and DoS and you will end up with something comparable.

but I'm not sure I follow you...
I am looking for best packaged version (VISUALLY) in terms of the actual cases which hold the discs.
I wish I knew how to post pics (but I assume on a board such as this many know what the Collectors Edition LOTR dvds look like..).
I have the "No Admittance" bookends of Gandalf and Bilbo with the above mentioned dvds displayed in my home theater.
Looks fantastic, but all of the Hobbit packaging looks ugly.
Cheap shiny plastic covers which are not worthy of display.
Are you saying there is a UK version that looks better?
What is The Hutt? I am new on here and not following you, but THANK YOU!
