The announcement that there will be two DVDs for The Lord of the Rings was a great and welcome surprise to many, many Tolkien fans. Of great interest is the special extended collector’s version of the DVD to be released on November 12. Contained in this special four-disc DVD is a neat surprise for all The Lord of the Rings TCG fans: three special collector’s cards that will only be available in this set!

The three cards: Legolas, Greenleaf; Gimli, Son of Gloin; and Aragorn, Ranger of the North from The Fellowship of the Ring™ set for The Lord of the Rings TCG will be inserted into the collector’s edition of the movie. In addition to the cards being foiled, all three will have their original image and lore altered to reflect the scene at the end of the film, when “The Three Hunters” set off to rescue Merry and Pippin.

“The Three Hunters” cards only will be inserted in the Collector’s Set DVD release for the United States and Canada.

All game text on the cards will be identical to the cards found in the starter decks and booster packs from The Fellowship of the Ring set. The only difference will be the images and lore.

“Let’s hunt some Orcs!”

Take a look at these alternate image cards!
Legolas, Greenleaf
Aragorn, Ranger of the North
Gimli, Son of Gloin
