The official info is as reads:

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG – Our heroes escape the giant Spiders and Wood-elves of Mirkwood before encountering the mysterious Bard, who smuggles them into Lake-town. Finally reaching the Lonely Mountain, they confront the Dragon Smaug. THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES – The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed their homeland, but face the consequences of unleashing Smaug. As five great armies go to war, Bilbo fights for his life, and the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must unite or be destroyed.
- THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING – With the help of a courageous fellowship of friends and allies, Frodo Baggins embarks on a perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS – In the middle chapter of this historic movie trilogy, the Fellowship is broken but its quest to destroy the One Ring continues. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING – The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring.

So that's it, the ultimate box set. I myself own The Lord of the Rings extended blu-ray trilogy box set, and The Hobbit extended blu-ray trilogy box set, so I've no need of this. If this exact same release gets released on the format after standard blu-ray (4K Blu-Ray? UHD Blu-ray?) then I would definitely consider it. For the time being, I'm more than happy with both of my blu-ray trilogies (The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit).

The shelf is an interesting, yet neat addition to the box set. I was thinking that it would come with a weta statue or bookends. Of course, I've yet to see actually see all the contents in-depth (I'm going to be keep a close eye out for those unboxing videos) but I'm looking forward to getting a close look at the physical goodies (the shelf, the accompanying booklet) especially the art prints which could be frameable. I'll keep a close out on ebay or something as well, in case portions of the set gets sold separately on 'the market'.

This is great for fans that were waiting for a complete 6-movie box set, or don't any of the (extended!) films on blu-ray yet.

The price is currently quite steep. Not that I agree with it, but there are some things to consider: it contains 30 discs, and it's going to be limited edition. It's possible the price may decrease via public outcry (see that low rating?). Also, there's always Black Friday. If the price is a bit much for you, here's the next best thing:

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
