It's just an extra big box.

RadicalDude · « **Reply #1097 on:** Sep 29, 2004 at 06:26 PM »

I think it's just the same concept that they did with the theatrical versions, just repacked in one box... so what's this? 3 boxes in one big box...

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #1098 on:** Sep 29, 2004 at 06:56 PM »

I hope they would be selling the Box nalang with the third EE edition.

'Lord of the Rings,' 'Braveheart' swords made in RP

By CARLOS D. MARQUEZ JR.
TODAY Correspondent

Cabiao, Nueva Ecija - The breathtaking beauty of New Zealand and Scotland may have provided the memorable backdrop for the blockbuster Hollywood films The Lord of the Rings, Braveheart and First Knight , among others, but the swords that were so indispensable to them were designed by a Filipino mechanical engineerand made in a small blacksmith shop in this town.

The designer, Rodrigo Revote, 44, said he made the Gandalf swords used by "Frodo" and "Aragorn" in winning the throne of Gondor in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings from metal scraps he picked around his neighborhood in barangay Entablado, in Cabiao town.

For some other knife and sword designs, he simply used lahar and other debris from Mount Pinatubo's eruption.

"They were laughing at me, scorning my appearance like a scavenger," Revote recalled, while holding a replica of the sword used by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

He knew from his American export broker that his custom-made products will be used in those movies.

Now, his Revote Enterprises ships an average of 700 to 1,000 custom-made swords to the US every month. A Gandalf sword costs $300. It takes the Revote Enterprises, now with about 75 workers, at least three days to finish a Gandalf sword.

i really don't know if i should believe this story.

dahil sa bonus features, yung mga swords are designed by Richard Taylor's Staff (WETA) and either Alan Lee and that guy that brought his armour.

plus pinakita pa sa dvd na isa isa nilang ginagawa yung swords...

so idunno what to believe. ung claim nyan. or yung sa dvd na may video pa...

He doesn't even know what Gandalf's Sword's name is- it's GLAMDRING. maybe he does replicas yun lang..

everything was done inside WETA.

i've watched that feature on abscbn...i wonder if it is true nga... $:-\$
