Finally the set I was looking for, extended versions of the films plus many additional content in a Blu Ray quality, very satisfying !
Replacement for my old scratched discs. Delivery was prompt and packaging was very sturdy. 10/10 all round
Enjoy the extended view. Some parts within all the films make so much more sense
It’s the entire middle earth set on blu-ray. If you don’t like LOTR or blu-ray then this is not for you.
Came wrapped in a tiny amount of plastic so not too much packaging. Good value and made a great gift.
Already owning all the ‘Extended’ editions on DVD, I wondered if I could justify splashing out (55 at the time of purchase) for this hefty 30 disc Blu-ray box set. In short, the answer is a definite YES! Without a doubt, very film collection should include a copy of this delightful and highly impressive saga…
Quality looks amazing, it’s boxed up very well with all films looking very neat next to each other as well as looking great on screen. Definitely worth the upgrade from DVD.
Great price for 6 movies, made my dad very happy thanks.
The Lord of the Rings appendices and special feature disks are coded for region two. I live in region 1 and they will not work. But all of the movies work as well as the hobbits behind the scenes and appendices. Great condition too!
I couldn’t think of a better way to spend lockdown!!
My partner disagrees strongly.
Came as advertised. Is a great product for the time for being locked indoors. The special features are out of this world! What differentiates this boxset from the previous LotR extended editions is that you get the special features from the Theatrical release on top, which is a tidy additio
The Hobbit extended editions are a little disappointing, not many new scenes added but still very enjoyable.
The original LOTR greatly benefits from Blu-ray quality, the vast majority of the extended scenes are direct rips from pages of the book including my favorite interacting from the fellowship “elven bread, one bite can fed a man for a day.” “how much did you eat?” “3!”. The extended editions extend each film by about an hour and it truly is the only way to watch the films, you cannot go back to the original cuts once you watch these.
A Must Buy for any LOTR book lover!
Product was delivery fast, well presented and packaged as was exactly as described in listings.
Nothing not to like.
Amazing films, amazing quality nice having them all together.
I’m sure there is a final “directors cut” to come but until then this is the pinnacle in both viewing quality and story telling for my money. Very much worth the money I spent on it.
I do struggle however with stretching the very short Hobbit into 3 films and the massively long LotR into 3 films also. Some re-editing to a more favourable 2/4 would improve things.
If you can afford them – buy them.
Very well packaged, all discs are accounted for. Brand new product, 100% recommend.
It’s a very well presented box set, with a ridiculous amount of bonus features… As if the film’s weren’t long enough to begin with.
Definitely worth the money.
Have yet to watch them – reserved for xmas hols
Well packed as it is a gift unable to play, was disappointed some discs were DVD with the rest BLU-RAY . Added features DVD all films BLU-RAY
Very neat and heavy with embossing on the box, can’t say much more as they’re for a gift. I wasn’t in when delivered but got a text from the driver asking where to put it though before I could reply I got another saying they’d put it in a bag inside the back gate, secure and prepared for rain!
The Hobbit movies were a big disappointment, and I could live without them, but I bought this because the 6 movie set was half the price of the 3 movie one!
The Extended editions look stunning in Blu-Ray, so from that perspective, this set is totally worth it. Apart from that, these are virtually unchanged from the DVD extended editions. I would have loved them to have fitted the extended editions on a single disc each, rather than split across two discs. I think this might have been possible with the extra capacity of Blu-Ray discs.
Another minor disappointment is the LOTR extra discs are still DVDs.
Aside from these minor complaints, they look better than ever. But if you already have the DVDs and an upscaling player, it might not be worth splashing out on the Bly-Ray version.
Binged watched/marathoned the hell out of this and now I don’t know what day it is.
Did not receive lord of the rings or the Hobbit dvd. Received the birthday cards .
We were promised dutch subtitles, but that was only the case fot The Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings does not have Dutch subtitles.
I’ve loved the movies since I had the first on VHS. Time and time I kept saying I want the extended versions – not just for the added film scenes but all the extras that come with it, I just couldn’t justify the price but thissss is a great buy and I love love love the movies even more. The extra scenes make so much more sense and if you’re a fan please, do get this boxset!
I have a PS4 and I’m able to play these fine.
Yes, The Hobbit wasn’t as thrilling as The Lord of the Rings but still worth the money. The Lord of the Rings is an absolute masterpiece and probably the best trilogy out there.
If you are a middle earth fan then you can’t get better, days worth of viewing. Well worth the money
Great value getting all the Hobbit and Lord of the rings extended films. Bluray quality so you see every little detail. Brilliant, timeless films.
Love the box set bargain many thanks from top middle earth fa
Excellent film series, extended editions add so much more to the story world. Product arrived next day, and in good condition.
Though it was expected, not having Bulgarian subtitles was a bit disappointing. Viewing experience is awesome without any doubt, but what I see as a disadvantage, compared to my DVD set, is that movie/disc always starts from the beginning, once discontinued. So that part of the experience is not that smooth. Still, love my addition to the collection.
Seen this set hundreds of times.
It’s even better on bluray!
don’t even think about it, just buy.
Happy with the set, also had a booklet in it that lists what’s on each disc. Very happy
6 extended movies in one package and all blu ray. All dvds have the original behind the scenes footage too so that adds another few days to your viewing lol. I have previously had the original extended LOTR but never blu ray. I also have not seen the 5 army movie from the Hobbit series too so this is a reall treat. I am not a huge fan of the Hobbit but I know someone will appreciate it in the house.
Really good value pack for some seriously amazing entertaining movies. I am super happy.
Sorry for late review!!! All good. Item was a gift for someone else.
Superb. So much extra with the films. The only trouble is finding time to watch it all.
This box set has days of viewing pleasure. It’s a great box set with phenomenal bonus features. That will help anyone that wants to nerd out.
The quality is obviously Blu Ray quality, and the extended version of the films are really good.
It is a great box set to own, and comes nicely packaged and presented. A really good purchase to own in the collection.
The only way to watch the Middle Earth Saga !!!! Sheer class in Blue Ray a must have for a Blue Ray collection .
Great box! I was looking for box like this that has both Hobbit and LOTR. Comes with a lot of extras like behind the scenes and interviews.
Great movie collection for a great price, love being able to watch each movie of one disc
Great collection for fans of these books and films. I had not got any Blu Ray. I have the extended LOTR but not much for the Hobbit. Looking for ward to some Winter chain watching.
All the middle earth movies together and extended copies Brilliant if you are a fan of Peter Jackson’s movies
Bought this at an excellent price! Fast delivery and great condition.
Partner was very pleased!
Bought as a Xmas Present BUT it was on their list, so hope it’ll be great received and appreciated
A must for fans of this franchise! Lots of discs that include extras and most of all, the uncut versions male more sense than the regular cut versions (as some questions stemming from cut versions leave one wondering).
This was a quality set of an amazing set of films!
Have had dvds for a long time. But the quality of the blue are so much better should have made the change long ago.
All the Hobbit Lotr extended versions on Blu-ray in a box set… need I say more? Great value for money
The power of the story-telling is second-to-none and the transfer to the upgraded medium does the films justice, especially given the commitment to a lot of practical effects, which arguably stand the test of time better than heavy reliance on CGI.
It’s rare that all of the elements of image and sound come together in a way that makes its mark so perfectly and indelibly. The Hobbit trilogy is a worthy companion from a visual perspective, but lacks the richness and depth of narrative of the LotR trilogy.
It’s always a pleasure to return to Middle Earth. This Blu-ray edition made it seem as though a window to that world had manifested in the corner of the room.
I would recommend this box set to all Middle Earth fans, but I’m sure that to anyone that struggles with the fantasy genre, the combined running time will feel like an ordeal. To those who find themselves drawn in to the journeys and character arcs, the end of the adventure retains an emotional punch that doesn’t diminish with time or repeated viewing. This is some of the most impressive story-telling ever committed to film… or digital equivalent.
Bought these for a movie marathon, 10-12 hours over 2 days to get through all of these! The bluray gives brilliant visuals to an already brilliant film, and the extras are pretty good too!
This item was delivered a couple of days before expected, which is always welcome! Perfect description, all is good! Regards
Great movies in a great box set. Box a little flimsy. Arrived earlier than expected. Very Happy customer.
All great. All my beloved MiddleEarth in one set. What do you need more?
Bought these for my husband who love these films . Great film for the whole family to watch not as dark as Lord od the rings .
If you are a proper fan of LOTR and The Hobbit then this is the best quality / extended scenes are like as though you’re watching a totally different movie.
All the small points are now joined together like a jigsaw puzzle.
5 stars without a question of doubt !
or squeezing onto lesser amounts here everythink you would wan’t out of the 2
trilogys amazing picture and amazing amount of specials pictures i got this for 34
pound it’s gone up a lot since but it may not be around forever so if you are a fan
get it while you can i mark it 10/10 in all areas.
I was, however, rather puzzled that a nice boxed set of them was difficult to find at a sensible price, so I gritted my teeth (and possibly said a naughty word or three) and took the plunge on this set, which also includes the so-so Hobbit trilogy – which I suppose is acceptable from a completionist’s point of view. Thanks to Amazon Prime, the set arrived the next day and after watching ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ on DVD, the jump in quality from that to ‘The Two Towers’ on Blu-Ray was absolutely breathtaking in every respect.
The most obvious thing was the improvement in picture quality from the paltry DVD resolution of 720×480 to the Full-HD resolution of 1920×1080, which made the images so much more sharp and defined. There was also a big jump-up in terms of the quality of how the colours looked and, of course, there was a notable difference in the audio quality, which sounded absolutely amazing coming through my soundbar.
It would be wrong to write a review of the LotR saga without saying a little something about the films themselves – and I don’t really know where to start. I mean, it was always going to be difficult to translate a much-loved fantasy saga (heck, THE fantasy saga) to the big screen, but Peter Jackson somehow pulled it off. The tone, the characters, the locations and everything is absolutely mind-blowing and the actors he chose to play the various roles are perfect. If you’ve not seen them, I would recommend that you buy this set, get yourself comfy on your sofa (mind to get some munchies and some tissues) and get yourself engrossed in these.
As I said however, this set also includes the Hobbit movies, which are essentially not awful – but why they made the decision to turn a very thin book into a trilogy (thereby adding a good deal of padding) after making three very thick books also into a trilogy (thereby having to cut some bits out), so I would have much rather seen just the one Hobbit movie.
It doesn’t stop there, of course – once you’ve finished watching through the movies, you’ve got the absolute cornucopia of additional material to work through – this set contains (count ’em) 30 discs, including the movies themselves, which represents hours and hours of ‘making of’ documentaries, commentaries, concept art, special effects wizardry and the likes. It’s actually quite mind-boggling and goes a long way to show how much work was put into these movies.
All in all however, this is without doubt the finest boxed-set of the Middle Earth on-screen saga you’re likely to get – and is definitely a worthy successor if you still only have the DVD set.
As described. The extended versions make more sense than the abbridged movies.
It’s a pain that in the lotr trilogy each movie is split on two discs. Obviously not a huge issue as the films are so long but you still have to get up and change the discs halfway through the film.
Buy it! So much to watch and the extra bits in the movies make a difference
For the Lord of the Rings extended editions alone this is worth it, the Hobbit films are good additions though. Once you’ve watched the Extended Editions you won’t be able to go back to the standard editions!
Excellent box set of films and great value for money

What a wonderful series of films. Peter Jackson is a visionary has captured the essence of J.R.R Tolkien’s beloved stories of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” The set itself is phenomenal all 6 films have similar casing and are all numbered at the side with roman numerals I-VI. Fans will be familiar with the Appendices special features but here not only do you get all parts 1-12 of that, you also get the theatrical release special features as well as the behind the scenes discs for “The Lord of the Rings”. So you get A LOT in this set. There is also a booklet guide stating what you get on each disc. Crucially you get 6 EPIC films that come together as one grand story that is timeless and ca be re-watched from beginning to end. I for one love The Hobbit Trilogy and think that is serves as a great addition to this series. This is one of my favourite film series ever made! The artistry is incredible, and the films are long but their very immersive. The Lord of the Rings definitely serves as more of a landmark in cinema for sure but The Hobbit adds to the legacy and this is definitely Peter Jackson’s finest work, everything is great, acting, music, scripts, direction, original songs etc you get the idea if you haven’t seen these films you are truly missing out! This is EPIC filmmaking at its very very best! And this set of all 6 films is the one you should own. I will treasure these films forever they are truly inspirational!
Absolute must have for fans and best value out there, will not find it cheape
Great price – I really enjoyed the hobbit this time round. Always loved Lo
As people have stated, box really is very flimsy and label badly applied. However, the DVD cases themselves are solid and the quality of film fantastic on our 4k tv/4k DVD player. Brilliant purchase.
Amazing collection but one of the worst boxes out there.
All films as described, beautiful box, perfect prezzie for my dad this Christmas!
What a price to match too!
I loved watching these films, the additional content was fantastic because lots of scenes I hadn’t seen before. The only downside is the packaging was slightly damaged and is fragile.
Great box set at a relatively cheap price, it includes all of the unseen parts of all 6 movies including a couple of extra songs from the Hobbit. Only downside is the outer box wasn’t proof read and contains at least 1 spelling erro
Excellent product! Very well presented and the films themselves are priceless.
Excellent product! Very well presented and the films themselves are priceless.
It is awesome buy if you are a LOTR and Hobbit fan. Extended edition of all six movies + so many extra stuff. There’s just so much to watch.
It was like re discovering the movies all over again! It was absolutely fantastic and made me feel like a kid again! Would recommend to any middle earth fan!
Would have been 5 stars but the outer case is rubbish.
Would have been 5 stars but the outer case is rubbish.
Having a watch marathon. cannot fault it. So what its got dodgy packaging. Just take care. That what I say. It’s the fantastic films,sound,picture ect. that counts. Hours and hours of documentaries.
So I eventually ordered and as soon as this arrived (next day with Prime) I ripped open the packaging to inspect the box / blu rays in detail and everything looked good. Then I opened The Fellowship of the Ring and inserted the blu ray into my blu ray player and I was delighted with the picture quality and the presentation as a whole. All my doubts and worries of this product being a ‘cheap copy ‘ were over! This is incredibly good value for all six extended edition blu rays of this amazing movie(s).
The only (tiny) flaw is the quite ‘flimsy’ box which contains the six blu rays. This may diminish quite quickly after a few uses BUT if you wanted to, I guess you could easily resolve this by laminating the box. Anyway, for me, this is a minor problem which doesn’t bother me at this value.
Picture quality, audio and overall presentation (which contains all extras) is superb. An absolute must for any LOTR fan.
PEOPLE LISTEN UP…. TOTALLY WORTH IT TIMELESS CLASSICS (LORD OF THE RINGS) …. LETS JUST PRETEND THAT THE HOBBIT WAS GOOD 2 SHALL WE ? ;D
If you want incredibly limited edition with beautifully hand crafted cases with photos of the cast and crew (which im pretty sure would be more than 65) then this isnt for you
However if you want to view the full extended edition journey in beautiful blu ray definition from beginning to end additionally packed with hours of behind the scenes footage and additional content then this set is perfect definitely delivers.
To address the reviews saying “do not buy this is the original theatrical version not the extended edition” if you are looking at a photo of the dark sleeved box with the hobbit trilogy (underneath it the lord of the rings trilogy) with the words at the top on a blue band 6 film extended editions then dont worry thats what you will get.
Hope this helps but i think this is well worth it.
So, as a massive fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and having enjoyed the Hobbit trilogy but not loving it, I was still keen to finally get my hands on this boxset. I previously owned the original Lord of the Rings extended edition trilogy on DVD, however I had literally been waiting years for a complete boxset on Blu-ray of the extended editions of all six films once I found out the Hobbit was to be finally turned into a film(s).
As for the quality of the Lord of the RIngs films, this is a rare case where the additional material improved on already amazing films. The Blu-ray transfer is excellent, and although the visual and special effects look a bit ropy in places (these films are 13-15 years old now) I think they still stand-up even with the added clarity of the Blu-ray transfer, although there is some graining in a handful of scenes. However, this did not bother me at all. Also, the big furor over the green filter on the Blu-ray editions of the trilogy is not something that bothers me in the slightest. The sound quality was excellent through my Yamaha sound bar. All of the additional extras are unfortunately not on Blu-ray, it looks like they have just repackaged the DVD discs from the DVD release (I haven’t been through the extras, I’ve only watched the films). Another niggle is that each film is still on two discs despite the added storage capacity of Blu-ray, although it is quite nice having an enforced intermission on such long films when you have to get up to change discs. Also, having each film boxset in just a single Blu-ray case is far more preferable to the cardboard case the DVD release came in.
As for the Hobbit trilogy, I had only seen the theatrical versions in IMAX 3D at 48fps. It was pretty jarring and really took me out of the films at times. This Blu-ray release (in 2D) is a vast improvement over that. The picture transfer is excellent, the standard 24fps makes it look far better, as does the 2D image! As for the additional scenes, well personally I feel they improved the films immensely. Yes, I know it’s ridiculous turning such a slender volume into three films, never mind then turning those three films into 3+ hour epics. However, if you look at them as just films rather than book adaptations, I think the extra footage is a worthy addition to the theatrical releases. It improved the films for me (as did the 24fps and 2D picture). Sound quality was also excellent. The extras are all on Blu-ray, although again I haven’t watched them. The Hobbit films are all on one disc each unlike the Lord of the Rings films.
Overall, I’m really happy I purchased the upgrade to Blu-ray for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and glad to have the Hobbit extended editions included in the set. This boxset certainly is epic at 30 discs, and certainly worth a punt. Recommended.
Love the films, happy they’re finally on one boxset, saves me finding them all one by one. Perfect for me
Packaging is flimsy but I don’t care as I love the fils and liked the price.
ATTENTION! These aren’t the extended editions, some of the reviews on here are talking about a box with 30 discs and all extended, this is not that. This is the original theatrical releases on blurey.
value for money , excellect collection with extended editions of all 6 films! perfect condition! fast shipping!
9 disks for the films and 21 disks full of special features. Please buy, fully guaranteed for everyone.
