The Middle-earth Ultimate Collector's Edition is an enormous 4K collection of all six movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved saga. The MSRP is $249.99, but it's currently on sale at Amazon for $149.99. That's the lowest price we've ever seen on this collection. The Middle-earth Ultimate Collector's Edition comes with both the theatrical and extended editions of the Hobbit trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital, plus a bunch of extras.

The movies are spread across 31 discs. An additional Blu-ray disc contains the Alamo Drafthouse cast reunions for The Lord of the Rings actors, hosted by the Tolkien-obsessed host Stephen Colbert, as well as the Festival de Cannes Presentation Reel. Also included in the package are seven travel poster art cards and a 64-page booklet of costume sketches, photography, and production notes.
One of the neatest parts of the collection is the slipcase that houses the discs. It can be folded and displayed in multiple configurations that each have its own shape and art that's put on display.
