The price is beyond ridiculous. It's supposed to appeal to the die-hard fans, I'm assuming, because no average viewer is going to spend that much on the set. However, the die-hard fans want something new, not the same movies wrapped up in different packaging. I would love to buy this as the HUGE Tolkien fan, and completist, that I am, but I don't see the draw here except having everything in one set. I actually plan on writing to Warner Home Video. They didn't want to spend the money to add all of the new stuff.
