If there’s one thing that makes someone feel like they really own the best of the best when it comes to media, it’s box sets. Not only is it a collection of your favorite media (I own the Godfather, Scream, The Purge, Saw, and Alien box sets) but there are usually fun add-ons like a cool case, new artwork, and just the feeling that you own something more official than just the individual books or films.

Now, The Lord of the Rings, inarguably the most famous and influential piece of fantasy literature ever, has had box sets before. However, it’s going to get a major upgrade in that department soon. A new one has been announced, and it won’t cost pocket change. It’s due to have a $325 price tag on it. For reference, you could buy three of one of the previous box sets for that kind of money. The new set is bound in cloth and leather with blue spines and silver foil typescript, with artwork by Alan Lee, an artist who has worked for other Tolkien-related media, as well as the Jackson films. It features over fifty new pencil drawings and paintings, as well as two foldout maps of Middle Earth.

If you’re looking to get the best of the best with the most well-known fantasy trilogy of all time, this is definitely the one to grab. It’s the highest quality, and it has the price tag to match.

Preorders for the October 1st release date have already begun on Amazon.
