The Lord of the Rings Online Mines of Moria Collector's Edition

Verdict: Overall a good first-attempt at a Collector's Edition. Looks like a book bound in red leather. Some sub-par materials detract from the quality of the collection.
Grade: B
  • Well-designed box, rich red leather styling. Very nicely embossed.
  • Medium-thickness cardboard, seems sturdy but slight pressure reveals how flimsy it really is.
  • Magnetic latch holds the cover closed, undoing it opens the flap and reveals the contents.
  • A thin cardboard insert divides the inner compartment in two.
  • Upper compartment:
  • A faux-velvet drawstring pouch, containing a mediocre replica of the one ring on a thin chain.
  • The Treasures of Moria entry card.
  • The Lord of the Rings Online Product and Buddy Keys Pamphlet.
  • The Lord of the Rings Online Starter Guide
  • The Lord of the Rings Online Quick Reference Card 
  • Paper Map of Middle-earth
  • The Lord of the Rings Online Poster
  • Lower Compartment:
  • Shrink-wrapped installer discs, styled in a similar fashion as the box.
  • The Lord of the Rings Online Music and Art Collection-a combined art book CD case.
  • Cloth map of Moria. Feels synthetic, nylon prehaps.
