I'm tempted to also get a copy from BB for one of their covers.

No problem.

I have the regular 3D set coming with the Lenticular GTG, Regular set up with all the cast on it, and I got the Digibook. I got the Gandalf 3D Lenticular mini-poster/card, UT here on the board sent me the Thorin, and Lonnie is sending me Bilbo to complete the 3 card set



I've not heard.



Yup. Should be out Oct/Nov. I expect a firm release date at comic-con this year.

Since this is only a place-holder until the EE version comes, I'm not really putting that much thinking into where to get this one.

One unexpectedly great outcome of The Hobbit's release is how much my 9-year old son has gotten into reading.

Back in November of last year, in preparation for the release of the movie, I got my son the book. He started reading it, but it got "lost"...
Fast forward to the movie's premiere and my ex-wife took him to see it. Unfortunately, he gets a bit anxious in cinemas, the size of the screen and the loudness make him nervous, add to it that it was a late screening with school the next day, and they walked out.
He was excited about it, however.

So I decided to sit with him and my daughter and watch the LOTR EE's over a couple of weekends. Needless to say, he was hooked! He loved the movies and sat through all three EE's with subtitles!

And then the book re-appeared and went through it with relish. Loving every bit of it.
Now he's picked up The Fellowship of the Ring and is engrossed.

How awesome is that?

Sounds like when he's older he will own all of the Hobbit/LoTR statues...LOL...awesome

Same. Just picking up the 3D version.

I'm getting the digibook, 3D with Gandalf and Target combo with Lego Bilbo. I'll probably be selling off the combo that comes with the Lego Bilbo, so if anyone wants it, let me know. I'll sell it for cheap.

I'm thinking about getting the Best Buy one now that I see it has that leticular slip and exclusive doc.

Damn you Hobbitses!!!

You ate my lunch so thoroughly with the Avengers lenticular card, that I was going to ask you if you wanted the Gandalf lenticular card that I got from Wal-Mart.

One more note...I am completely disappointed in the "digital" copy of the movie that I got from Vudu.

My system is older...but the digital copies that I have of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Star Trek, and the Avengers all play just fine.

I'm not a fan of vudu to be honest. I much prefer it when they offer it through iTunes.

Can anyone explain to me what a digi book is compared to a steel book?

 

[The Josh]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" movie thread *SPOILERS*

Digibook have little books in the middle of them. Steel books have a metal case and generally no book in the middle. As far as I know.

 

[Adolfo]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" movie thread *SPOILERS*

Does the digi book have a book with 64 real pages or is it video pages?...

 

[The Josh]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" movie thread *SPOILERS*

Real pages. It's a mini-version of The World of Hobbits book.

I'm brand new to Vudu...but I am certainly feelin' ya!


I just want to be able to play the video through Windows Media Player like all my other movies. I think I am going to call Vudu (again) and ask them what's the what's-up?

 

[The Josh]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" movie thread *SPOILERS*

Yeah, I'd give them a call. Depending on how old your computer is and your Internet connection that may be the issue. However if your others play just fine it could be a bad download.
