The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is getting a standalone 4K Blu-ray Steelbook release on October 21. That means fans of Peter Jackson’s superb trilogy adaptation can now buy all three films with matching collectible cases featuring gorgeous cover art. Limited Edition Steelbooks for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers released earlier this year. As of August 14, all three Lord of the Rings Trilogy 4K Steelbooks are in stock at Amazon. If you’re interested in owning a full set, we’d recommend snagging them as soon as possible, because these have sold out multiple times already and aren’t in stock at all retailers.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Steelbook Editions
- The Fellowship of the Ring Steelbook (4K, Digital) — $28 (
$35) - The Two Towers Steelbook (4K, Digital) — $37
- The Return of the King Steelbook (4K, Digital) — $35 | October 21
If you don’t own any of the Steelbook Editions yet, you’d be spending $100 to get all three right now. That’s quite the deal, as these editions were previously only available in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Steelbook Collection for $170. The box set also comes with a metal display box, so you’re missing out on that by purchasing the movies individually. The slipcase probably isn’t worth $70 to most fans, though. Also, the standalone editions also include digital versions of the movies that can be added to your Movies Anywhere library.
