Lord Of The Rings New Collector's Editions Are B2G1 Free For Prime Big Deal Days

Available now at Target as a timed exclusive with a limited-time $84 price, The Lord of the Rings Collector's Edition Box Set compiles Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King in one gorgeous collection that comes with a display box as well as a fold-out map of Middle-earth. It's eligible for B2G1 free at Target.

The Collector's Edition Box Set releases widely on November 5, including at Amazon, with a list price of $105. Amazon is taking preorders for $94.50. Target also has the same price for its preorder listing--which is a sign that the $84 listing will disappear next month.

The new collector's editions offer a budget-friendly way to get beautiful editions of The Lord of the Rings. The Deluxe Illustrated Box Set, which released on October 1, is about as premium and pricey as it gets for Tolkien books at major retailers. Listed for $325, The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set is on sale for $248 at Amazon. It's also eligible for B2G1 free. Still expensive, yes, but an $82 discount days after launch is notable nonetheless.

Not to be confused with the series of Tolkien Illustrated Editions--which we'll link to below--this box set is a remastered version of the 1992 hardcover edition featuring artist Alan Lee's iconic artwork of Middle-earth.

The new set includes over 50 new paintings and drawings. It's split into three volumes, one for each novel in the trilogy, and has a page count of 1,332. The hardcovers are made from cloth and leather and are adorned with silver typescript and stamped emblems. It also comes with a decorative slipcase, three art cards, and two fold-out maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien.

Tolkien's Illustrated Editions feature drawings by the author. They are available in both standard and deluxe edition hardcovers. All of them are discounted at Amazon, including the deluxe version of The Hobbit, which releases October 22

The Lord of the Rings Collector's Editions released alongside the first-ever publication of Tolkien's collected poems. This massive 1,728-page, three-book set contains work written across seven decades. Tolkien had a lifelong love of poetry, and he initially aspired to be a poet, not a fantasy novelist.

All told, there are 200 poems in the box set, some of which center on Middle-earth. Over 60 of these poems had never been published until now, so this is a rare opportunity to read previously unseen writing by Tolkien. The poems are accompanied by commentary from two leading Tolkien scholars about the poems and the author's life.

The hardcover box set is available for a 10% discount at Amazon.
