Fans of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies can soon own all six movies in a single box set thanks to the upcoming The Middle-earth 6-Film 4K Blu-ray Collection, which launches on March 18. The massive collection will include theatrical and extended cuts of all six movies on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital, plus a smattering of bonus features, making this ideal for anyone who wants to add the full saga to their collection. Preorders are available for $206 at Amazon and $210 at Walmart.

It's certainly a pricey collection, but it's worth noting you'll get a preorder price guarantee from both retailers. If the price of The Middle-earth 6-Film Collection drops between the time you order and release, you'll be charged the lowest price offered by Amazon or Walmart. Neither retailer charges for preorders until the item ships.

Preordering at Amazon locks you in for the retailer's preorder price guarantee, so if the price changes between now and release, you'll only pay the lowest price. Amazon does not charge for preorders until the order ships.

The Middle-earth 6-Film Collection looks to be a great way to get the entire Peter Jackson Middle-earth saga in one package, especially since it includes the commentary tracks for the Extended Editions. The existing 4K trilogy box sets only come with 4K Blu-ray discs, which is notable because the audio commentaries for the Extended Editions are on 1080p Blu-ray discs.

While you won't get the audio commentaries, it'd cost you substantially less to buy LOTR and The Hobbit 4K trilogies separately right now. You can grab The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Theatrical & Extended Cuts 4K Collection for $69 at Amazon (was $90). Collectors will also want to check out the recently released Fellowship of the Ring Steelbook Edition for $35 at Walmart, which includes the first film and a special edition steelbook case with unique cover art. The Hobbit Trilogy on 4K is available for $59 (was $90). If you bought both trilogies, you'd pay $118 as of February 3.


As for the latest movie in the Lord of the Rings universe, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim anime arrive on Blu-ray on February 18, and preorders are available now.


Lord of the Rings fans who want a more interactive Middle-earth experience will also want to check out the recently launched Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring Trick-Taking Game that's now available for $25. Amazon also has deals on several other official Lord of the Rings card games and board games, such as the Journeys in Middle-earth miniatures wargame, Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, and the Lord of the Rings Adventure Book. Lego fans can also pick up the new Tower of Barad-dur set, which is a whopping 5,471-piece display featuring minifigures of Sauron, Frodo, Sam, Gollum, The Mouth of Sauron, and five Orcs.
