Sadly it looks like it's just The Hobbit Trilogy on sale.
Probably because Lord of the Rings trilogy sold out at Amazon.   Back to original price with delivery pushed to December 21 or later.

No, and not too likely I'll watch them for a week or two - I have things in " my que " so to speak ! But I have them - they are ready when I am ready ! All 3 would be more than an all nighter - unless you never stop to pee ! :-[

man people are really getting butt hurt over these reviews, I think they need to stop dwelling on the minutia of tiny blemishes which are actually talked about, and realize how overall this is an amazing audio/visual presentation

Speaking of blemishes or rather lack thereof, I have only watched part 1 of the Extended version of Fellowship so far and my only nitpick is that I think Frodo's face should have at least a few blemishes rather than looking like plastic.   I don't have the Blu Ray so I don't know how his face looked in it.

It has always looked like that, so I don't know what the big deal is. These films look fabulous and any DNR was meant to be there (according to Jackson) in order to soften the look of the film so the VFX shots didn't stick out like a sore thumb. These people looking at one frame shots from a nearly 4 hours movie really need to get a life!
