The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

[slynger]

Has it been confirmed if there is an EE of this coming? Want to know if I should purchase this or just wait.

 

[The Josh]

I know Josh! You have so many choices.

I know.

Walmart preorder 3D cards...

Love those 3D cards. Ill probably just get one and then try on ebay. I don't need 8 versions. Have other middle-earth themes items to buy.

 

[Darth Waller]

But no LEGO minifigure.

(Which you can flip for more than $15)

I've been needing to buy the LOTR LEGO game, so now I get 3D Hobbit for $15.

Maybe I should sell my 3D slipcover.

 

[The Ween]

So was it Canada or Europe that had the lenticular cover that went from Bilbo to Gollum?

 

[The Ween]

Someone has the digibook on eBay for $50 already.

 

[The Ween]

I know.

Josh, how many versions of Lord of the Rings do you have?

I'm getting that Thorin card!

 

[Bullseye]

I think I'll stick with the Steelbook release on these regular releases. No doubt there will be extended editions in the future.

 

[The Ween]

The online preorder price is $29.99 (IIRC) so I thought I was doing good! Oh well, I really wanted the cards, and was willing to pay a few bucks for each, so I still came out alright... once I sell the last digibook.

I've never done a pre-order at Walmart. What do you do? It says it's sent to your house, so do you mail in a card or order it online?

 

[The Ween]

If anyone is planning on just getting The Hobbit bluray, if you get the Target exclusive, I'll buy the Lego Bilbo from you.

I'm doing this off the top of my head. So ill double check tomorrow.

All 3 TE.
All 3 EE
All 3 EE/TE combo discs
All 3 TE Blu
All 3 EE Blu

Think that's all

Doing the same and besides I really like the look of this steelbook.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I think France got the better Steel.

For this one, you have to redeem the Vudu code and setup an account if you don't already have one. They will mail the digi to the address you use for the account.

 

[Isildur's bane]

I think France got the better Steel.

I like that one as well, but when I think of The Hobbit I see Bilbo first

 

[Khev]

I think France got the better Steel.

That is a better image but the brown tint makes him look a bit like Ragged *** or whatever that wizard's name was.

Radagast you mean? Don't think it makes him look similar though.

Hmm......since they each have the blu AND the DVD, you can get 4 different ones and then get the EE when it comes out.

That's probably it for The Hobbit... till the Extended Editions hit.

And before someone says something, I'm not collecting much these days besides blu-rays, and all those Hobbit editions put together, is still 1/3 the price of a deluxe version Hot Toys figure!!!

 

[lcummins]

Dang Walmart and Vudu!!! It would only let me redeem one copy of the Hobbit preorder under my Vudu account; I had to create two more accounts just to make sure they shipped the digibooks to me for the other two preorders! They never took into consideration that someone might preorder more than one???
