It would be nice to know what impressions these are even though it’s the Italian printing. I’d heard that it’s not textually up to date until after the 8th impressions? Or there were mistakes corrected from the 8th onwards? I can’t recall now. I didn’t want the box set and bought them separately but waited until after the 8th to do so.
I saw it as a posting on FB in what would’ve been 2014/15.

Can't remember the printing where it changed from 50th to 60th (without looking in my boxes), but was around the 8th/9th (wasn't the same for each volume, IIRC). Also not sure how many impressions it went to LEGO for after the first (60th) impression, i.e. whether it was one or more before the Chinese reprints started again.

Thanks, Stu. Yeh, I mean the LotR of course not the Companion. My three are impressions 10/11/12 that I had separately. I wasn’t planning on buying these at all originally but then thought i should have them without the 50th logo on.
Buying them as single volumes, you wouldn’t even know they’re part of a 60th box. There’s no mention of it. I think it’s only mentioned in the companion actually and not even on the box.
