Why the fuck would they make remastered Blu-Rays, but not add any more special features? If you are buying this set, that means you probably either have a 4K TV with a 4K player, or you have the disposable income to get both. Who's going to even be using the Blu-Rays? If they had included the original, non-DNR'ed Blu-Rays, that would have made sense.

It’s because like with the evil dead these new 4K transfers of the films aren’t the originals. The cgi & colors were edited to match the hobbit films so having all that supplemental material is contradictory to the films as they want you to see them now which is why they just added something new with nothing old included. It’s the same as Star Wars now. Just re-edits the director wants to make till it’s the current years version they imagine them to be

The very first thing I'd have done if I was making this "ultimate set" is: don't include the normal blurays. Only 4K editions. That removes a LOT of the discs right there giving plenty of space to include every last extra included with the original DVD and Bluray collections. Secondly, remaster the 4K Lord of the Rings movies without the DNR. The color coding of Fellowship can be kept but go with the original grading for Two Towers and Return of the King. Take out the weird "dream filter" effect added in. The Hobbit using a special cut to turn it into two movies. The first sticks to only showing the things that were in the books. The second would be a sort of "Gaiden story" revealing Gandalf's mission away from the dwarves as it's own story. Cut out the love story stuff and just about everything to do with Tauriel and Legolas, leaving the two to briefly walk in as little cameo nods and nothing more. That's my ideal collector's set.

Phweeew... I bought the two 4K set packs. Then found out about this set. I'm thankful you reviewed it the way you did. The box itself is very cool admittedly, but not worth another purchase. (Already have the DVD extended editions, the Bluray extended and the 4K extended sets and I think even the 3D versions floating around). I'm one for really enjoying the extras in the sets - there are so many featurettes etc in the DVD boxsets, hours worth - I've watched all of it. There's around 10 hours worth of extras or some crazy amount but that is what I was hoping for in this new release, more of that and maybe more commentary (yes I nerd out listening to the commentaries too). I've always been a wannabe film maker and have always been interested in how they do things, LotR and Hobbit filming methods and Peter Jackson's ability to bring it all on film blows my mind. No doubt they will release a Director's Special WhizBang Mega Edition in 2024 for the 70th anniversary - when Lord of the Rings was first published as a book (1954).

Love the Packaging but will keep my 4K trilogies

To be honest. The individual sleeves are very nice! BUT The box art, I don’t really like… it seems a bit cheap. Someone with photoshop skills can make it like this.. I will keep the complete bluray set and all extras and the 4k sets from last year!

Will you be keeping it? I have it pre ordered but I already own the steelbook 4k versions and those are awesome. The artwork on this looks amazing too, but not sure how it's worth 320$ cad.

I just upgraded my Hobbit and LOTR collection from dvd to the individual trilogy remastered extended editions on blu ray. Didn't need or want 4k and I'm super glad I didn't get this version since it's missing so much. What a cash grab hype waste.
