Although Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days officially kick off on October 8, a plethora of discounts are already up for grabs ahead of the event. If you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings, there's a treasure trove of merchandise waiting for you. This includes an array of apparel like hoodies and T-shirts, along with premium editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's books, such as new Collector's Editions and a single-volume Deluxe Edition hardcover at a 50% discount. Many of these items are expected to be in high demand, and stock might run low as Prime Big Deal Days approach. Prices for most items are at their lowest for the year—so if something catches your eye, it's wise to add it to your cart while supplies last. Here’s a glimpse at the best Lord of the Rings deals leading up to Prime Big Deal Days.
One of the standout features of these hoodies and sweatshirts is that they are officially licensed, ensuring you won't encounter any cheap, imitation designs. You'll also find a wide range of colors and sizes available for most styles, allowing you to tailor your purchase to your preferences. The Green Dragon Sweatshirt is a personal favorite, but the Doors of Durin, One Ring, and Gondor Tree Pullover Hoodies are also excellent choices if you prefer sweatshirts with hoods. Similar to the hoodies, these T-shirts are all officially licensed and come in various colors and sizes. The Retro Group Sunset design stands out as particularly cool, featuring the four iconic Hobbits (plus Gollum) and giving off a vintage vibe. For those who prefer something more understated, the minimalist Fellowship of the Ring Silhouette Shirt, available in eight colors, is an excellent choice.
There are numerous editions of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s other works, but few are as visually striking as the new Collector’s Editions. Released just a few weeks ago, each of the three volumes boasts a foil-stamped cover, stained edges, and a ribbon bookmark. A box set version with a fold-out map is scheduled for release on November 5, but the individual books are available now. You can also find matching Collector's Editions of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.

Meanwhile, The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Edition is a 1,216-page hardcover that encompasses all three volumes and includes a new extended index. Published to commemorate the iconic fantasy novel's 50th anniversary, this edition features a suede-like cover texture, adding a touch of elegance. Currently, you can purchase a copy at Amazon for 50% off.
