As you probably know there's going to be a boxed set of all 3 ROTK EE.

If you are feeling miffed that you have no slip case to keep them in (as you bought them as they went along) - apparently you are going to be able to get them separately for (apparently) $3.

However this offer is only available in the USA. I wonder if any US members might be nice enough to act as postmasters  :-[

Anyway, details of the offer will be here:

http://www.lotrdvdbox.com/

when the offer starts.

Gee I wonder who you are talking about :P

USA USA USA :P

you know I will :P

Roz:

There is no info on the link, it just says coming December 14th!  You would think they could have listed the price and other info!   :P

True. I think they have a site ready for launch that day or something!

Jas I wasn't hinting really ;) because I wonder whether it might be one per household... we'll have to see!

Good point Ed!

I was wondering if I could ask one of you to do the same for me please?
I'll be happy to PayPal some money over (once you know how much it's going to cost! ::)) to cover it's price and shipping fees etc and I hope Roz can vouch that I'm a trustworthy person to deal with?! ;)

Please PM me to let me know if you can help and where to send funds to and I can let you know my home address and email details! :)

I do hope it's not restricted like that Roz!! :o

Thanks in advance!! ;D

Well I just placed my order for the Trilogy Slipcover.  The offer is good only in the USA.  The Slipcover is free and you just pay $3.00 postage.  They only allow 1 purchase per customer/email address/mailing address.
 :(

Oh dear ....  :-\ :'(

*sighs* never mind Ed ~ it was worth a try! ;)

I think there are still a fair few Brit members without a way to get these.

Are there any US based HP fans (maybe we should link to this in the HP section) who can help out UK LOTR fans?

so how many people need one of these that cant get them?

I would love one if possible Goofy :) If you could help, thank you so much! :)

im gonna see how many I can get

Mine has been ordered today! ;D
I have to thank a kind Ebayer I dealt with from the US, who has ordered it for me, and I dont need to pay until I receive it once it's been forwarded on.
Sometimes ebay can do good!

hi all - been reading the forum for a bit but was just too lazy to register - did get round to register in the end but only only after numerous problems with password & many many tries!!

Anyway, on subject of these slipcases - I hope the ones you guys get from US will fit your DVDs! my cousin bought his Trilogy EE DVD boxset from Whsmith & though he likes the films, he's not as mad on LOTR. So he kindly donated me his slipcase as he was not bothered about keeping them together in the case.

Sadly & for some annoying reason, my 3 EE dvds which came individually with the statues etc.....does not fit in! I tried & gave up. I dont know but it seems the dvds I have are just marginally longer & to get them in would probably break the box. Anybody else have/experience similar problem?

So sadly he has the slipcase back now.

(Ps Thanks Goofyjas for pointing out this Forum!)

Hmm that's interesting!

I *think* the US DVDs are the same size as the UK DVD cases so we may have the same problem... fingers crossed though.

Although to be fair they are offering this to put the previously released 3 DVDs in so hopefully they will have sorted this out.

Has anyone had theirs yet? They are supposed to be shipping now :)

Nope. Nothing yet.


Mark

Haven't received mine yet, either.

Mine's somewhere over the Atlantic. I'll post again when it arrives.

Rob  ;D

I believe mine is somewhere over the Atlantic too!  ;)

I'll let you know when it lands. ;D

Mina arived yesterday (Weds). It's fine!!

Rob

Mine arrived safely this morning! (Mon) ;D

Very good - pretty odd no US folk have come forward.... well I hope they got them safe anyway :)

I have not received mine yet.  I'll post when I receive it.

I got an email this morning that it had shipped.

Woo hoo :D

Mine shipped today as well.



Mark

I received the slipcase today!  For some reason, I expected it to be shipped flat, but it's in a box instead.

I got mine today also.  It's a pretty cool freebie.  At first the movies were too tall to fit in...but then I turned the slipcase right-side-up.   :P

Now I feel as special as those who purchased the entire boxed set.

Mark

Hee hee - carry no like this and we'll have to change your title to "forum jester"

I had heard someone say that the normal DVDs would not fit in a boxed set that was purchased in a trio box... so as I read your sentance I did panic a little.... GRRR

 ;D

Wow, finally my slipcase arrived today! I've got to say the extended DVDs now look great on display and thanks to the kind US ebayer who helped me obtain it!

Cool - ours has a spare space when you put them all in - I wonder whether the Gollum DVD is around the right size to fill it?
