Sources close to director Peter Jackson have informed me that he's holding back the extended editions for an elaborate "ultimate" box set release closer to the debut of the new Hobbit films - that's why these are set to be theatrical only. Obviously, not everyone is going to want them as such, but they're designed to satisfy fans who want something in the meantime. So simply be aware that if you want to wait for the more elaborate release, you'll get one eventually. Just FYI.
In the meantime, the theatrical BD set will apparently be set with a $99.98 SRP, although Amazon's price is around $70. Take a look at the cover art for the theatrical BD trilogy below.
We'll be sure to keep you posted on any updates on this new BD boxed set.
