Probably a misprice but worth a shot for this collectors item. Don't know what shipping is like. Link here.

Limited edition Collector's DVD Gift Set. A must-have for every fan, this will include the entire four-disc Special Extended DVD Edition in elaborate package art conceived and designed solely for the gift set by famed J.R.R. Tolkien illustrator Alan Lee. Inside will be a hand-painted, intricately detailed, polystone sculpture of Minas Tirith - the seven-tiered City of Lings, beneath whose ramparts the greatest battle in 'The Lord of the Rings' is fought. Created by Sideshow Weta Collectibles workshop under the supervision of Peter Jackson and Academy Award winning visual effects artist Richard Taylor, this exclusive creation also lifts off its base to reveal a lined keepsake compartment.

The DVD Gift Set will also contain a fifth bonus DVD, Howard Shore: Creating the Lord of the Rings Symphony - A Composer's Journey Through Middle-earth. This 50-minute production includes excerpts of live concert footage of 'The Lord of the Rings' Symphony recorded with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.

Link has been killed!

Ever wonder do sites do this on purpose as a means of free advertising? I had never heard of the thehut.com before and now i have so maybe its working?!!

Yeah these come up every now and again, sometimes work but majority of the time they don't. Amazon have misprices quite often. Always worth a try though and you might get lucky.

There's someone selling one of these on eBay for £10 and there's no bids so I would think the offer of £3.97 was correct.

You might be right. A different boxset, The Two Towers with Gollum on Amazon for £9.97. Link here.

Amazon.co.uk Review
This Collector's Box of The Two Towers contains the four-disc extended version of the movie (also available separately) as well as three unique additional extras. Like The Fellowship of the Ring before it, the whole is packaged in a chunky cardboard outer box. Inside is a limited edition polystone statue of Gollum, complete with fish, perched on a moss-covered base (it weighs in at a solid three-and-a-half pounds and comes with a certificate of authenticity). Unlike the "Argonath" bookends, the statue is purely decorative: sculpted by the same artist who created Gollum for the screen it's painted in faithfully "lifelike" colours and has an authentically oily sheen to its flesh that makes it a somewhat less-than-attractive ornament for your mantelpiece. Fans, though, will appreciate the attention to detail and the statue's unique pedigree.

Also included is a box within a box containing yet another bonus DVD, this one devoted to the creation of the Sideshow Weta statue series. Some 24 minutes long, this documentary is introduced by Peter Jackson, who shows us his own extraordinary collection of statues; Jackson and Weta supremo Richard Taylor explain how they insisted that these models were created by the same artists who had worked on the movies, ensuring complete authenticity (the actors themselves are suitably appreciative). Taylor narrates in detail the whole production process. There's also a printed 44-page companion piece specifically devoted to Gollum, showing his evolution from early sketches to sculpted maquette to final on-screen character. --Mark Walker

I managed to order the Return of the King for £3.95. They never once mentioned shipping price so here's hoping it doesn't boost it way up.
