Interesting with this and the US extended giftset, which to chose....

 

[smudge616]

I might be WRONG, but it may be theatrical edition not the extnded edition that is included.

 

[The Boydster]

Looks exactly like my US theatrical version I bought earlier in the year.

Just looking at the listing, it doesnt say amazon exclusive for this so im betting its either the wrong artwork or wrong title.....cant see them making this as an exclusive for amazon.co.uk when amazon.com have the exclusive barrell edition + £90 is very expensive considering the US version can be got for around £60

 

[Sigill]

The listed run time is the same as the standard edition so perhaps it will just be the standard edition and not the extended one.

I called Amazon today regarding this set and asked them to confirm that it was the extended edition included in the box. After checking with the 'relevant department' it was confirmed to be the extended edition.

I explained that everything appeared to be identical to the previous release and perhaps they could add a note on the site confirming that it includes the extended version. IMO I think that this is possibly surplus stock and the extended cut will replace the theatrical cut in the box. Watch this space......

I received an email from Amazon last week saying that there was a mistake in the listing and that it was actually only the theatrical version of the film.

Here's the email -

Yes stepstone i got the same email. I noticed Zavvi have also removed the "extended" wording in their listing of it. Bit odd that Entertainment store havent on http://www.play.com/stores/Entertai...bpObpQ|cgn:je6NUbpObpQ-VZtOvS6wZvbey1QKMVDU9w

I get the feeling some peeps may be a little upset when they recieve the item.......but i may be wrong.

I got my copy the other day! From Walmart - the US version. $79.99

The Lenti slip was so beat up and scratched! The worst condition slipcover I have ever seen from a box set

Bookend are great though. Really heavy

I saw these they would go well with the Lord of the rings ones I have but £78 is a bit pricey

 

[Drum18]

Merged both threads and moved to the Steelbook section.
Be aware that this is the STANDARD edition and NOT the extended.

Fine tuned first post.

Wow! That's insane. Unless the book stands have some gold that Smaug was guarding, that's absurd.

Zavvi is cheaper than Amazon? What is this madness?
(Of course, with it being from Zavvi it'll probably turn up in a jiffy bag with the bookends broken )

Still priced at 90 notes on Amazon. Waiting (hoping!) for this to come crashing down in price
