While you get both the theatrical and the extended version of each movie, you still don't get as much additional special features as in the "original extended" versions. That said, that's the only one bad negative thing I can say about these movies. They all come in a special artistic box, not as beautiful as the big boxes from the special edition extended movies, but they still include a very beautiful artwork in the cover, as well as a extra transparent cover. The movies are, of course, my favorites by far, and I have seen a lot of incredible movies out there. Peter Jackson did an exemplar work with all of the three adaptations from the work of Dr. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. You just can't believe they erased so much material from the original work (around a full hour of extra contents in additional and extended scenes), but after analyzing the coherence and the intentions behind all the careful setup you can fairly understand and appreciate why so much wonderful stuff that was actually filmed was eliminated in the end. With this trilogy, you will be able to fully enjoy the TRUE experience of The Lord of The Rings.Read full review
A six disc collectors set, with each film having a beautifully illustrated cover! You get both the theatrical release and the extended version of all three films, each film also contains a second disc with bonus features! I had the 12 disc set and got rid of it, as it was overkill, and you only got the extended version of the film! The only negative is you have to flip the disc to complete the film, but that's small since you had to put in a second disc to complete the film with the 12 disc set, it's just because the films are so long! A highly recommended collectors set, that gives you bonus material, both versions of the films, and takes up less than half the space!
The main reason way I liked Lord of the Rings trilogy is that I love the mid-evil ages. Castles, Knights, and all the sweet battles and the many other things that go with it. The first movie to me was more like a setup to the storyline. How everything came to be, at least half of the film. The second half is more about trying to destroy the ring and of course the many hardships that came with it to the hero of the story. The second movie and the third film are the best in my opinion due to the HUGE BATTLE scenes. Storyline is epic and this trilogy has some of the best music and scenes. If you love stuff like this and have not seen it then you must watch it. Its about 9 hours to watch all 3 films so be sure to set some time aside to watch it. The only thing I disliked about the film is the discs. The film is so long that halfway through the film you need to flip the disc. I know it seems like laziness but when you are totally getting into the storyline I am sure you do not like ANY interruptions. You can find this trilogy for around US$25.00 and that can include free shipping depending on who you go with.Read full review
It arrived at my house and I promptly opened the package. There it was, the limited edition of the Lord of the Rings of all three movies. This package is great, it has the extended and theatrical versions on each disc. It has special features about each movie and has directors commentary. The only draw back from this set from the newest, is that this lacks more special features and some other stuff that the newest set does have. If your looking for all three movies in a package without the need for every little special feature, this is for you.
The Lord Of the Rings trilogy is most beloved by fans. What is great about this set is you can watch both types of films Regular and extended without taking up a ton of space. Needless to say it is lacking on the bonus features but after 4 hours of filmage my needs are quite satisfied :) very happy and the cases artwork are just stunning highly recomended for anyone who calls themselves a fan.
WORTH EVERY PENNY! CD's are in perfect condition. They have both extended and theatrical versions, and the cases are beautiful. Truly worthy of a LOTR lover's collection.

Amazing product in pristine condition. These unforgettable movies beautifully packaged and make a shining addition to any DVD collection and a priceless trophy for any nerd's greatest dreams. The DVDs are double-sided, which is not evidently specified in the description, and which I am not a big fan of because they seem... delicate, but still over all worth it. Not as big and bulky as the original extended version box sets were, so you can get the full experience meant to watch Lord of the Rings in, but without the set taking up an entire shelf alone. Great buy.
The films are faultless as always. Love them I'm a big fan and wanted the extended edition for a present to share the wonders of these films. Bit sad that the first film was bashed up a little but all in all a nice little set.

I wanted to have the extended version of the movies, but not being much of a movie owning person (I prefer to rent) didn't want to spend a lot on them, so this pack with just the movies was good for me, and the price was perfect. The image and audio quality is amazing as expected. If you don't mind not having every documentary, music video and Easter egg from the 4 disc version, this is the collection for you.
If you are a fan of Jackson's Middle Earth, you'll love the expanded exposition and character development found here. Particularly good are the scenes added from Bag End and Rivendale. The extended version allows for plot development of a necessary sort and allieviates the sketchiness found in the theatrical version to a significant extent. There are three background DVD's included which are valuable if you want to see how the magic was done. dls
