A new 6-movie box set featuring the films based off J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic stories is on the horizon. You don’t need to travel to Mordor to find it, however, as the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, is making it available… just not yet. Amazon lists the release of this treasure on October 4th, 2016. Presently, there isn’t a suggested retail price, but at one point there was. It had been listed for $800, but for some unexplained reason the price was removed by the online giant. At the present time, pre-ordering is not available. You can sign up to be notified when it becomes available and as always you can add it to your Wish List.
