I can't wait to see this work of art!

Can't wait to get my greedy hands on it!

Any estimate on the price for this beauty? I wish there were a steelbook for this!

Same here! I love it. I also have the notice for the OC:).

@WesternBronco @ajames212 4k back up for preorder!

Thanks! I got mine:).

And, of course, it sold out while I was in the process of paying for it... I got Loki but not WandaVision in 4k. I'm sure Disney/BB will increase the orders to keep up!

I decided to hedge my bets and bought the blu-ray. When the 4k opens up again then I can cancel it:).

Same here. It's the same for WandaVision. I'll keep reloading the pages! Lol.

Not active yet🥺.

Well shoot! I was really trying to talk myself out of buying this...

so thankful that they are not the Disney 100 series artwork.

What an absolutely horrifying thought! That possibility never occurred to me. UGH! To get the disks, I'd have bought the steelbooks even if they were in the 100 style. I might have covered them in a brown paper bag though. LOL.

Yeah, I skipped the GB because I didn't think we'd get a release for the D+ series anytime soon. At least they're coming in a steelbook, so it's not a total wash! I'll happily this set WITH the discs included. 

Likewise! Then again, I didn't really like the 50s black and white aspect of the art style. I want Agatha, fights and action! LOL.

This is certainly an unusual art style for Disney! I like it!

And, of course, the Manta Lab groupbuy is closed... When there is now an actual reason to buy it. LOL

Yeah sure. But I would have expected that they make 150 of each version. 

I still think this will be the case.. We haven't heard yet though.

@extantsrevenge

Can there be a version C with the cover of version A on the front and the cover of version B on the back?

 

I'd want the opposite! LOL. Bilbo and Smaug on the front and Bilbo and Erebor on the back.

P.S. Anyone know when BS for the art prints and other goodies that come with the box will be released?

I really should be not complain and want a different choice on covers! I just might get it... In general I much prefer the Track B versions. The odds of my killing my PayPal credit just went up big time. Yikes! I assume the GB dropdown would give us 6 options?

Are there 150 copies of each version?

Oh.  Man.   Why oh why.    No.   I really did t need to see this. 

Good point! This is a pointed comment on "be careful what you wish for!" I wanted Smaug on the cover. Now it does. Oh dear!

Maybe Smaug will be on the Battle of the five armies Cover, since that's the movie where he is actually unleashed. 

I really like the cover where Bard confronts Smaug flying toward him. I prefer Bilbo and Smaug though:). I'd take either option though.

Smaug is imo the most unique character in the entire Hobbit trilogy, and to actually not have Smaug on the front (nor the back?) of "The desolation of Smaug" seems like a very weird art direction...

I completely agree. Smaug is one of the most memorable characters in literature or cinema 😄.

Thanks Basil! That image would work very nicely! Outstanding!

Well shoot! I wanted Smaug on the cover:(. He's the reason the Hobbit is one of my favorite movies!

Decisions, decisions...

My preliminary conclusion is to wait and see. I am dubious at best. Cool art but my favorite parts in the series is when reality begins to intrude, not the old television scenes.

I really like the OC cover art!
