Oh boy, now I can picture this beauty sitting on my shelf. Why did do that to me Allan?

I knew you would want this my friend...

The precious is to hard to resist!!

oh man, really tempted to get this, looks like it'll go really nicely with my DVD extended edition sets

Is it safe to assume this will be a bit shorter than the DVD LOTR extended editions since it looks G2 in the picture

 

[Jensen]

Really like this! Some Japanese text in the same font on a slipcover would be paradise.

It looks that way, the outer box looks the same size as the amaray case.

The price is really exaggerated .. Unless there is also the steelbook zavvi for pre-order.

Sticking with my collectors edition from Japan.

This is just one :ass: ugly jumbo steel from WB.... Plus it will no doubt have their standard cheap matte finish as seems to be the norm from them now. :movie:

Tooooooooo many nightmares still with the finish on the 2D Version they gave us last year.....

You got a link to the Japan set. I seemed to have missed that.

And as I posted in the Capt America thread,

I think that we all have to admit now that we'll have to get used to it. Matte dull finishes ARE the standard. No more gloss. Looks like theres a shortage of gloss or the gloss machine is broken.

Gloss appears to be available in short supply perhaps and at a premium which it seems studios dont want to do, so, matte is here to stay and rule the world

As far as I guess, reason why matte and dull finish is popular for publisher nowdays ...

Scratch on the steelbook

Scanavo always recommend matte and dull finish, zero finish for resistance to publisher.

Maybe someone can comfirm that why many of publisher release matte and dull finish.

I don't mind matte buddy as long as its of the quality that ES gave us for Star Trek.... BUT I am done buying steelbooks from WB with their zero cheap finish. Much rather get a nice slipcover or collectors edition of the film than another crap finished WB Steel....

That looks really cool. Looks like the artwork from the Spanish release (which I'm sure was a steel at one time). I went with the US release with figurine to match my LOTR sets.

I'm seriously considering cancelling this UK steel now and saving the cash for something else.

 

[earthscope]

It is expensive ric. But as we know that's the norm for Japan, plus the quality will be superb with that edition and I don't mind paying for a bit of quality.....

This is the only edition I will be getting for The Hobbit. I do like the US edition though....Decisions, Decisions......

Is *this* version (The Japanese version) a steelbook?

 

[The Boydster]

Looks awesome, may have to try and source one.

 

[RD1973]

I copied the product description into google translate and it seems that this edition brings a 6th disc. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Drum18]

Release week!!! Can't wait to have it in-hands!!!!

Marked as "Shipping Soon" on Amazon JP. Only a few more days

This is one I can't wait to get... Been holding out for the extended version, so this'll be my first time watching it :movie:

Please, let us know how many discs are included when you receive it. When I put the Amazon description in Google translate, it seemed to mention a bonus 6th disc.

 

[NinjaFeetz]

If no one else beats me to the punch, will do RD1973.
