Detailed pictures of the upcoming Two Towers Extended Edition gift set are online. I'm glad to see the Gollum statue looks less like Brad Dourif in real life compared to the Photoshop-assembled mock-up we've seen for a while. The box looks more rectangular than the FotR one, so I'm guessing the symmetry in my DVD shelves will me messed up even further. But how anal can you be about that, anyway?

The menus follow the design of the previous EE, but have a slight Rohan flavor.

I can't wait for this. I watch the Appendices more than I watch Fellowship, so I can't wait to see the new ones for Two Towers.
