If I was to get it, I'd get the completely extended version, with everything in it [img]wink.gif[/img] I have no idea what's out there but I like the fact that you geta little figure of Gollum as well [img]smile.gif[/img]

^ ah well, I'm not that much of an anorak [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol

I've got both version of both films (FOTR & TTT) but that's only b/c I'm too impatient to wait for the extended editions to come out. But, if I were you, and speaking from a LOTR geek's viewpoint [img]wink.gif[/img] *g*, I'd get the extended editions every time. You get (most of) the extra footage that was cut for the theatrical release PLUS 2 extra discs with loads of supplementary material on them, such as how they designed Middle Earth, the creature workshops, the costumes etc. etc. They sound tedious but take it from me that they're anything but. They really are very, very interesting.

Dunno about the little Gollum figure though. [img]confused.gif[/img] I didn't get one with my copy. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] *wahhhh*

I've got both, of both films. ^_^ Theatrical version, which is the one that you see at the cinema, and the extended version, which basically adds 45 minutes + to each movie, and is how the films were supposed to be (they were only really cut for time). I have both versions because a) I want to be thorough and b) the theatricals come out before the extendeds, and I never want to wait a few months before owning them. The EEs are definitely worth it (though I would say that wouldn't I? *g*) and they come with fantastic extras and nice packaging too. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm a geek, but I don't care [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh btw, the Gollum figure package thing was released just before Christmas, as a ploy to get people to buy it more. (Not that they needed one!! *lol*) In a box set type thingy. So I don't have that, because I already had the EE then.

Thanks my lovelies (as Terry would put it) [img]smile.gif[/img]

I want the extended editions of these DVD's too but I've just had a look on Amazon and there's so many different versions, it's confusing [img]confused.gif[/img]

Janie, I think the one we're looking for is the one that costs ?23.99 [img]smile.gif[/img] oh, unless you want the figure of Gollum edition, which costs ?33.99 [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you go here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...944782-8906050 , I have the first 2 extended editions (FOTR in the green box set and TTT in the red). I think that the other sets listedc are basically the same discs but that they have 'freebies' with them like Ivana's Gollum figure and the Argonath book-ends - stuff like that. I could be wrong though so I hope that Sam can verify this. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thank you Terry and Michelle for clarifying that for me [img]smile.gif[/img] I think I know which ones to go for now [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm a dork and am waiting for the uber-geek extended versions of all three movies to be released in a box set. I've already heard that the extendamix of ROTK runs 4 hrs plus, and that the original cut of the movie was 6 hrs long. I don't mind waiting because hopefully my waiting will pay off in the form of a complete collection of everyhthing they ever filmed, lol. Also hoping there will be a gag reel, Bernard Hill (plays Theoden in TTT and ROTK) is soooo hillarious! XD

Yes. *nod* What they said. [img]wink.gif[/img] *lol* I want the book-ends. *pout*

xxSam
