£16.95 from [Filmnight.com](http://Filmnight.com). Not sure how much that works out in dollars. $30? Everywhere else over here (UK) was doing it £25.99 cheapest. And mine came a day early. BLAU! ---

> [@FilmGeek](#): > > Best Buy had a deal that if you purchased the theatrical version (which we did) and present the reciept at your purchase of the extended edition, you get $10 off. Wha-a-a? I bought mine at BB yesterday and I have the receipt for the theatrical release at home. I saw nothing in the ads or in the store about a discount. ---

> [@John Mace](#): > > $30 at Borders. I knew I was paying too much, but there’s a Borders just a few blocks from my house, and I can walk. IOW, don’t buy it at Borders unless you don’t mind paying a few bucks more. > > Has anyone watched it yet??? I’m thinking of a marathon session this weekend with all three EE versions. Not watched it yet. As a matter of fact, we haven’t seen any of them since ROTK in the theatre. We are going to do the marathon thing this weekend, and we didn’t want to be sick of them. We’re going to go out Friday and buy lots of snackies and stuff! And then watch on Saturday. -Anaamika, who is \*so \* glad her boyfriend shares these interests. ---

I got the Tchotchke Edition at Costco for $49.99. ---

I see that there is a box set available of all the extended editions available at Best Buy for $109.99 if you’re here in the Great White North. I decided that I was going to wait until they released all of the extended editions together in one box set before I bought it. Does anyone know any other place in Canada that carries it? Don’t seem to be able to find it. ---

> [@gobear](#): > > Wha-a-a? I bought mine at BB yesterday and I have the receipt for the theatrical release at home. I saw nothing in the ads or in the store about a discount. Apologies. It’s a thing in the DVD itself. You’ve got one, I promise. 🙂 ---

I thought I’d just write in to make you guys jealous by saying that I just got my wife the limited edition Collector’s DVD Gift Set, in a plastic box with a _Richly Detailed Minas Tirith Polystone Keepsake Box_. There aren’t a lot of these left, according to the girl at Suncoast, where it was $70 (US). If you can pony up the cash, it’s pretty ooh-aah inspiring. Disclaimer: I know not the first thing about LOTR, but I know how to make my wife happy! ---

Did you notice that it comes with an insert on how to send away for the Minas Morgul Richy Detailed Polystone Thing? ---

How the hell do you get from the 5th level to the 6th level on the model of Minas Tirith? I think that’s a serious flaw in the design!! :eek: ---

No, because it’s still in the shrink wrap, until this Saturday, when we will have Xmas with her family early this year. If that’s the case, I may send away for it and give it to her for her birthday in April! Thanks for the heads up. ---

Does anyone know any other place in Canada that carries it? Don’t seem to be able to find it. I haven’t, although I didn’t really look either. I picked Return of the King extended yesterday at a&b Sound for $34.99 yesterday. I noticed that the coupons inserted inside the box included a coupon for the “slipcover” that you can store all 3 extended editions in. It costs $4.
