Amazon’s Prime Day is in full swing, and there are some great 4K Blu-ray box sets on sale if you’re a physical media fan like me. The Middle-Earth 6-film Collection is one of them and currently down to $94.49, saving you $35.50 off the original sticker price of $129.99. In it you’ll get all three The Lord of the Rings movies and all three The Hobbit movies. But as an additional bonus, you’ll have access to each film’s theatrical and extended versions, but we all know watching the extended versions is really the correct way to experience both trilogies.

    The massive box set comes with 30 4K Blu-ray discs (yes, 30) that includes all six films, their theatrical and extended versions, filmmaker commentaries, and a host of special features and behind-the-scenes extras. If you want to watch the extended versions, they came as two-disc sets, so you’ll have to swap discs in the middle of viewing. It’s not the most convenient way to watch, but if you prefer not to stream these versions, it’s a quick and easy trade off. The box itself is one convenient slipcase packaging, making it easy to display on a shelf with the rest of your 4K collection.

    The Lord of the Rings Movies in (Chronological) Order<h3>1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)</h3>
The only potential confusion in the Lord of the Rings-Hobbit timeline comes from the fact that The Hobbit trilogy is set 60 years before The Lord of the Rings, despite being released a decade later.<br><br>
Chronologically, the story kicks off with 2012’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which sees Martin Freeman take on the role of a younger Bilbo Baggins (played by Ian Holm in the LotR trilogy). Gandalf – one of several characters whose stories run through both trilogies — recruits Bilbo to join Thorin (Richard Armitage) and Company to help reclaim the Dwarven kingdom beneath Erebor, aka The Lonely Mountain, that had been sacked by the dragon Smaug. Along the way, Bilbo encounters Gollum for the first time and comes into possession of the One Ring.More Lord of the Rings Deals Today
