LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring - 4-Disc Extended Collector's Ed

ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION. Attention serious LOTR collectors - this is the one you've been hunting for. Not the bare-bones theatrical DVD, this is the ORIGINAL 2002 New Line Platinum Series Special Extended DVD Edition - the 4-Disc Collector's Tome that is now discontinued and only going UP in value. You will NOT find another one this complete in this condition locally. This is 100% complete, pristine, and ready for display. WHAT'S INCLUDED - EVERYTHING FROM DAY ONE: ✅ All 4 Collector Discs - No scratches, tested & plays perfect ✅ Outer Leather-Bound Tome Slipcase with gold foil embossing - the iconic bookshelf display piece ✅ Inner Tri-Fold Digipak with Art by Alan Lee - the legendary LOTR illustrator - Moria artwork + Middle-earth map as shown ✅ Original Collector's Booklet + Inserts ✅ The full Fold-Out Map / Art Cards. This is the version that includes 4 discs, original fold-out collector's box, booklet and map. WHY THIS EDITION BLOWS EVERY OTHER VERSION AWAY: 1. THE ULTIMATE CUT: Over 298 minutes in length on 4 discs, the set includes an extended version featuring 30 minutes of additional footage not included in the theatrical release. Scenes you never saw in theaters - more Hobbiton, Galadriel's gifts, extra Moria battle, and character depth that makes the theatrical feel incomplete. 2. FOUR LEGENDARY COMMENTARIES: Four Audio Commentaries by Director and Writers, the Design Team, the Production Team and the Cast featuring more than 30 participants including Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen - over 16 hours of insider stories. 3. TWO FULL DISCS OF APPENDICES: This isn't promotional fluff. 6+ hours of documentaries on adapting Tolkien, script, costumes, armor, WETA workshop, casting, visual effects, plus galleries of nearly 2000 images, storyboards, and An interactive map of Middle-earth tracing the journey of the Fellowship. CONDITION NOTES FOR COLLECTORS: This has been adult-owned and stored flat. The faux-leather tome has no tears, no creases, the gold lettering is bright. Discs are mint. Inner fold is vibrant with no fading. The only sign of age is a tiny bit of original store sticker residue on top right corner (see photo 1) - that's it. For a 23-year-old collector's set, this is as close to new as you will find. WHY YOU NEED TO GRAB THIS NOW: New Line stopped producing the Platinum Series years ago. Complete sets with the booklet and map intact are getting incredibly scarce - most listings are missing discs or inserts or have beat-up cases. If you are building the true Extended Trilogy collection, this Fellowship set is the anchor piece. Once it's gone, it's gone. First come, first served. Local pickup in Chicago. Format: DVD.
