While Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t officially start until October 8, there are tons of discounts available now ahead of the event. If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings, there’s also plenty of merchandise for you to check out. These include a variety of apparel, including hoodies and T-shirts, as well as premium editions of JRR Tolkien’s books, including new collector’s editions and single-volume deluxe hardcover editions, available at 50% off.
Many of these items will likely become popular, and inventory may run out before Prime Day. Most items are at their lowest prices of the year, so if you see something that catches your eye, consider adding it to your cart. Here are 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 of these hoodies and sweatshirts is that they’re all 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 to suit most styles, giving you plenty of ways to customize your fit. The Green Dragon Sweatshirt is one of our favorites, but if you prefer a hooded sweatshirt, the Gates of Turin, One Ring and Tree of Gondor Pullover Hoodies are also great options.

Like the hoodies, these tees are 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 giving off an old-school vibe. There’s also the minimalist Fellowship of the Ring Silhouette shirt, available in eight colors, which is a great option if you want something a little more subtle.
Lord of the Rings books


There are countless editions of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s other books, but few are as compelling as the new collector’s editions. The three volumes were released just a few weeks ago and each has a foil cover, stained edges and a ribbon bookmark. The boxed version with the fold-out map is expected to be available on 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 The Lord of the Rings Collector’s Edition deals for more details on these and other Tolkien collectible books.
Meanwhile, The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Edition is a 1,216-page hardcover tome, including all three volumes and a new expanded index. This edition of the text is published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this iconic fantasy novel. The cover of the deluxe edition has a suede-like texture, which is pretty cool. Right now, you can pick up a copy at Amazon for 50% off.
