After looking at this new release, there doesn’t really seem to be a lot to it. It feels more to me like Wizards had too many ideas for Lord of the Rings card treatments to squeeze into a single set, so they made a new one specifically for the Brothers Hildebrandt and poster cards. The inclusion of new serialized cards seems less like an exciting opportunity than a cynical method to get players to fork over cash for the same cards they bought a few months ago. That said, I do like the design of the poster cards and the Brothers Hildebrandt art is all fantastic as is to be expected from them, but I’d advise buying the ones you want as singles. Cover art by Alan Lee, depicting Rivendell on The Fellowship of the Ring, Orthanc on The Two Towers, and Minas Tirith on The Return of the King. Prefatory material includes ‘Note on the Text’ (emended 1993) by Douglas A. Anderson. Fifth impression, undated ( The Return of the King); seventh impression, undated ( The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers).

There are a few main differences between the original run of Collector Boosters from Tales of Middle-earth and the new Special Edition Collector Boosters. One is that you can’t find the original treatments of any Tales of Middle-earth cards in the Special Edition, only the showcase Scrolls of Middle-earth versions. Special Edition Collector Boosters are also the only place to find poster cards and Brothers Hildebrandt cards. Hardcover (252 mm × 171 mm); single volume with slipcase, 1246 pp. (i–xxviii prefatory; 1–1217 text; 1 pp. addendum) plus 50 colour plates (see Maps & Illustrations, below).pp. i, 20, 51, 82, 113, 129, 161, 177, 192, 208, 225, 257, 287, 303, 319, 335, 352, 366, and 399: colour illustrations by Alan Lee. The Return of the King: 452 pp. (i–xvi prefatory; 743–1178 text, see Errata, below) plus 15 colour plates (see Maps & Illustrations, below). Furthermore, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy featuring remastered Blu-ray discs of the theatrical and extended versions of the 3 films will also be released in the fourth quarter 2021, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Of the reprints, most are from the original Tales of Middle-earth set. However, the Realms and Relics cards and the Brothers Hildebrandt cards are all reprints of other Magic cards with Lord of the Rings-themed artwork. What Are the Showcase Scrolls of Middle-earth Cards? Hardcover (228 mm × 149 mm); single volume with slipcase, 1200 pp. (i–xx prefatory; 1–1178 text; 2 p. addenda) plus inserts and plates (see Maps, Illustrations, & Facsimiles below). Seventh impression, undated. (Textual emendations suggest impression date 2008 or later: see Notes, below.) p. 1150: Index entry for ‘Desolation of the Morannon’: Missing citations for pp. 619, 631, 648, 887. p. 50: Ring-inscription is rejected original drawing, with an incorrect letter ( hwesta in place of unque, changing word agh, ‘and’, to akh) in middle of second line.The showcase Scrolls of Middle-earth cards make up the bulk of each Special Edition Collector Booster. These are simply reskinned cards from Tales of Middle-earth made to look like they’re printed on an aging scroll of paper. The artwork on the cards themselves are the same from the original set, with the new showcase treatment seemingly being a type of filter applied over each card. For the most part, this is what you’ll be getting from these boosters, so if you find this style, I don’t know, ugly and lazy, then you may want to consider just buying singles of the new cards available like the Brothers Hildebrandt cards or other new treatments. What Are the Poster Cards? p. 98: The third, fourth, and fifth lines in the second paragraph are incorrectly justified, with significant white space added at the right margin, and an erroneous reversed comma appears after ‘broad’ in the third line. Does not include ‘Note on the Text’ by Douglas A. Anderson, unlike most releases of the 1994 HarperCollins edition. Later revised impressions include the 2004 ‘50th Anniversary Edition’ emended text, set in a different typeface ( Birka?). These do not appear to be the 2004 edition: possibly the same as the Houghton Mifflin 2002 illustrated edition?
