Sorry if I missed anyone... my memory's not great nowadays. :wacky:

Holy moly. Thanks for the tag! It's so beautiful I want to make love with it :shy: Why 800 though. In the video it's said: "Peter Jackson asked the fans which are their favorite scenes out of the films and it is in the books ..."
But he didn't mentioned that most of the fans can't afford it or can but don't want to spend this amount. Such a ridiculous unrealistic price, I don't get it.
 
It was again a new link. The one in the OP didn't worked anymore. New link updated, new release date October 4 at Amazon and November 1st in stores and price drop to 719,99$ :bag:

Thanks for the tag @Noodles!
I felt like I was watching the Home Shopping Network there!:rofl:
Still not sold. The "Slip disc pocket" books are trouble. Especially since all of the appendices are on DVDs that can be scratched. The original MASH set was roundly rejected because of this type of book that housed the discs and scratched them too much. If they were all Blu rays this would not be an issue....HOWEVER, the BULK of these discs are DVDs. That could be trouble.
I'm also not convinced this the end-all-be-all set. The promised PJ documentary is not here.
Just not sold on this yet....(n)

Looks nice and i can kind of see why it would cost them a lot of money. Especially if the print run is like 500 then the price tag makes sense. But i doubt it's that low. But if the print run is higher than 1000, even $500 wouldn't make sense.

Also, Amazon already dropped the price once; BestBuy is selling at $550. It seems like what i said about this selling around $500 is coming true.
$799 is the MSRP and usually with these type of editions, they almost never sell at that price on release day. I've seen them drop to even 60% of MSRP before release.
Plus the higher price tag on Amazon might be due them selling exclusively for one month. So by Christmas 2K16, we might see these around $200 - $300 on Amazon or BB :D
Have patience guys! Remember, patience is virtue. But in this hobby, patience can also cause excessive stress and depression :rofl:
 
@Noodles Aw, thank you for the tag! :OMG: Well, despite all its 'flaws', I still want it... :notworthy: Hopefully, with a colossal price drop, this will be mine.... And when another 3D and PJ's doc edition comes out, I'll get that too... I'm a sucker for these films, can't help myself :shy:
