Got mine Tuesday morning at 8 am before I went to work. Even took my personal laptop to work with me so I could watch ROTK while sitting at my desk, but a software glitch ruined that plan  But I watched it when I got home that night, so it turned out nicely in the end.

I had exams Wednesday and Thursday so I banned myself from getting it till Thursday evening. I know I don't have enough self-control to stop myself watching it if it's just sitting there!

I got it the day it came out. There was an Entertainment Weekly LOTR Edition that you got free with it. It was really a very good magazine. 50 pages of LOTR interviews, what's not to like?

| Got it on Tuesday and have had the reserve to wait until Friday night, also had exams, and I ended up crying in the extras, but I must say that I was impressed with my self-restraint. |

Likewise -- got it Tuesday. Though I dont have the impressive restraint you guys do, I plopped my bottom on the couch and watched it -- three times in a row. Today is Marathon Day!!

Got it on thursday, too muchs studying to do, as well. And WHSmiths had a free mug if you preordered it, so I got it from there. The mug though, the images are a bit.. faint and blurred. Has anyone else got the WHS mug?
Jaysh. I'm going on about a mug. Ah well. |

I broke my mug before I'd even got it home  I'd bought the visual guide cos they had it going cheap and it's got pretty pictures and storylines in it that didn't make the final cut so my bag was pretty heavy. Then just as I was getting off the bus the handles broke and it clattered to the ground. The handle of the mug is now in several pieces, though as a clever house mate pointed out it now makes a good pen holder.
I'm very disappointed with WHSmiths. I used to work there and they pay a pittance. You'd think they'd be able to spend the money they saved on decent plastic bags.

BB! ^_^ I couldn't resist either! I had to watch as soon as I got home. I should've put a sign up that said 'Do Not Disturb Or Face My Wrath!!' or something like that, because it seemed like every three seconds something was interrupting me... :roll:
Did you look at the Super Trailer? Kinda nice that they condensed 9+ hours of programming into one ten minute trailor ^.^ Hopefully some wonderful day, I'll be able to watch all three EE's. O_O I wonder if I can get some sort of 'Lazy-Ass' award for that.

When I preordered the DVD, I bought TTT visual companion. Going extremely cheap for £2.99, and the RRP is £14.99! Very thin book though. I only need to get the RotK V.C and then I have the set. (I collect LotR reference books... it's a hobby   )
I would go back to WHSmiths and DEMAND a replacement!
To be frank, with the super-trailer, I was disappointed. (It was rather satisfactory, but today, I am unleashing my super-scrary negative side). The FotR part was fine, but when it went on to the RotK part, they used parts from different battles for one sequence. True, this happened in the regular trailers, but I noticed it even more in this trailer. For example, the part where Aragorn does his 'I see in your eyes.... this day, WE FIGHT!' speech in front of the Black Gates, Eowyn suddenly starts screaming, which happens before the Rohirrim go and squash some orc-ass. But the thing is, I am being too nitpicky. I'll shut up.
queenoftheshire, I can't wait until I can do an Ex. Ed. marathon! It's going to be spiffy, peeps. |

Got my ROTK DVD, and must admit, cried like a girl watching it again. *wussy*
You know what I'm really chuffed about? It looks brilliant next to the other two in my DVD box.
(And I got mine from ASDA. No free mugs or other such fun. Alas!)

I am pleased (well... yes...) to say that I was making all these weird noises when I was crying- sniff sniff, etc.
Yup, I like the look of how it looks in my DVD pile (no tidy boxes! teeh!). But I can't wait to see how great the Ex. Ed's will look together. I'm already wondering what colour the casing is going to be. Any info, anyone?
