While Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t officially start until October 8, a bunch of discounts are now available ahead of the event. And if you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings, there’s plenty of merch for you to check out. This includes a variety of apparel such as hoodies and T-shirts, as well as premium versions of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, including new Collector’s Editions and a single-volume Deluxe Edition hardcover for 50% off.
Many of these items will likely be a hot commodity, and inventory may run out in the run-up to Prime Big Deal Days. Pricing for most items is among the lowest of the year–so if you see something that catches your eye, consider adding it to your shopping cart while you can. Here’s a look at the best Lord of the Rings deals ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.
Lord of the Rings Hoodies and Sweatshirts

The best thing about all these hoodies and sweatshirts is that they’re officially licensed–so you don’t have to worry about any tacky, knock-off designs. You’ll also find a variety of colors and sizes available for most styles, giving you plenty of ways to customize your fit. The Green Dragon Sweatshirt is one of our favorites, though the Doors of Durin, One Ring, and Gondor Tree Pullover Hoodies are cool options if you favor sweatshirts with hoods.
T-Shirts

Like the hoodies, these T-shirts are all officially licensed and available in a variety of colors and sizes. The Retro Group Sunset design is arguably the coolest of the group, featuring the four iconic Hobbits (plus Gollum) and exuding an old-school vibe. There’s also the minimalist Fellowship of the Ring Silhouette Shirt that’s available in eight colors and is a great option if you want something a bit toned down.
The Lord of the Rings Books
There are countless versions of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s other books, but few are as striking as the new Collector’s Editions. Released only a few weeks ago, each of the three volumes has a foil-stamped cover, stained edges, and a ribbon bookmark. A box set version with a fold-out map is slated for November 5, but the individual books are available now. You can also get matching Collector’s Editions of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. Check out our roundup of deals on The Lord of the Rings Collector’s Editions for more details on these and other collectible Tolkien books.
Meanwhile, The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Edition is a 1,216-page hardcover tome that includes all three volumes and a new extended index. This version of the text that was published for the iconic fantasy novel’s 50th anniversary. The Deluxe Edition has a suede-like cover texture, which is pretty cool. Right now, you can snag a copy for 50% off at Amazon.
