Thanks. Kinda surprised they’re not selling direct. I know they did for Tenet
I'm not. LOTR is very popular, tenet was not. There were so many spare tenet copies going around, both at GBs and left with hdz. Literally the only reason why it went up direct.
 
What’s the difference of these new releases to that LotR trilogy release from HDZeta?? :shy:
The initial HDZ release was Silver label (WWA steel) and three slips (one for each film) in an OC box. The new release is Gold Label (WEA Steel) with an OC release for each film (two slips per film in a leather OC box).

It's not OC it's Hardbox >.<.
 
It's kinda worse, as there's only photocards in one, and only booklet in the other fullslip, when Silver versions had both in one. And steelbooks are the same, unlike FilmArena's sets, where they use different, if WWA, steels. I plan on switching one of them with those from WWA steelbox. If they didn't in fact run off with the money. :meh:
But... it's supposed to be wrapped in real skin from actual dead animals.
 
For me it's hardbox since it only contains 2 and not 3 editions.

That’s not really what defines a OC box though. OC was just used for a box that includes all available editions to save people buying them individually with “one click”…. Doesn’t really matter if it saved three clicks or two clicks…

Silver did have both, but they did also only have to fill one slip with content. There evidently isn't more WB/Tolkien approved content for hdz to fill them with, so it's split between the two.

The booklet it 64 pages btw, which is twice the size of the silver booklet. The cards are also in booklet form as well, rather than loose. Which is the same setup they went with for BvS and ZSJL where usable content was on the light side too.

It kinda does if there's not much difference in price.

No not at all. Again, originally it was to save you buying them individually. Not sure price has anything to do with what a OC is, well unless you had to pay postage on each individual edition.

I was talking 2 part or 3 part OC. That shouldn't be same price. It should be different price for each one. Despite HDZ 3rd part was usually special pack and nothing special opposing to other retailers.

Works now, but I'm sure they meant to say: go buy the Italian edition that's available right now, and for £60 you fools!
